Just growing up south of Buffalo, NY there were plenty of mornings where we would wake up to multiple feet of snow on the ground…that needed to be cleared before we could go to school. I am guessing because we had a long driveway my father always had a snow blower…and absolutely loved to use […]
I recently created a web site (Evan’s Web Site) that could really use a nice photo gallery plugin. I have looked at a few but they have all fallen short in one way or another. Does anyone have any suggestions since there are so many out there? I am looking for: Easy upload and post […]
Well. It does not take much to amuse me. Awhile back I wrote about “fun with email attachments” but obviously there is more fun to have. Last night I received an email from someone – who will remain nameless – that had 87 attachments. Yes 87. Eighty-seven. Time for a web site where this person […]
I do not take many days off from work (hours for that matter), but I decided to take off this past Thanksgiving/weekend…and I really enjoyed it. With family in town, I took a drive down into the city to see our glorious city with all it’s Christmas decorations and late night shoppers on Saturday. Yesterday […]

Fortunately the fix is quick and easy! The real problem: Apple, by default, uses a “Rich Text Format” (RTF) for composing all new email […]
I was recently asked to recommend and comment on some good CSS practices for a client and I thought I would pass some of them. Use a table of contents. I always start my stylesheet(s) with a table of contents so I can easily locate particular styles in the future. I would recommend breaking your […]
I have been working with WordPress for multiple years now and I decided I needed to start reviewing some of my favorite plugins – as I receive a number of requests about what plugins I use/prefer. I am going to start with a newcomer: WP Newsletter. This plugin works great for WordPress sites allows you […]
Anyone who uses subversion will need this sooner or later. Change directories to the root directory and run: find . -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf. Bingo…all .svn directories are gone and you can start fresh! [tags]subversion, svn[/tags]
Even though I disapprove of our current administration, I still love being an American…and on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, I love being an American even more. Voting is very important to me. Voting not only let’s me voice my opinion about the future direction of the government officially, it also […]
There are few people that I admire more than Joe Paterno (Penn State’s head football coach). He inspired me when I went to my first Penn State football game when I was three years old, and he still inspires me today. During our last game in Wisconsin, one of the plays ended up on the […]
