I decided to update WordPress to 2.0.1 and only have found an issue with one plugin (PageNavi). A huge thanks to the WordPress development team who have once again, released an easy-to-update release. As always, make sure you backup your WordPress install before upgrading. I also updated my Tasks Pro install yesterday to 1.6 and […]
You know the drill…one link leads to another and then to another until I stumbled onto Scott Johnson’s blog. One of his blog posts mentioned wanting some resumes for some CSS contract work so since I have some extra time, I decided to send him a copy of my resume and portfolio…and I am happy […]
After finally getting some to to set up my development environment, I began thinking…why am I not using Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.1.2? What made me think about this? “Legacy Release” The phrase “legacy release” is what httpd.apache.org described Apache 1.3.x as in their news section.

I have been tasked with implementing a heavy duty content management system within the next year. I have played around with many CMSes over the past year (Drupal, TikiWiki, and Plone) as well as implemented a few web sites using XOOPS and my own homebrew of WordPress. While I would not hesitate to continue using […]
For months I have been manually backing up my web sites. Last night, I learned my lesson and realized I needed to have something more dependable in place. (and I am pretty damn dependable). I finally took the time to research the process of automating a CPanel update. The script I found and used is […]
The last few days I became obsessed with optimizing jappler.com. It was loading slower and slower with what seemed to be every passing day. Since I had originally designed my web site for an earlier version of WordPress, I figured it was about time for a tune up. I went to the ever-so-helpful codex, to […]
