Missed flight. Boingo WiFi hack saved the day. July 18, 2008 4 Comments

I'm flying home today to Regina, SK for a family reunion and what not. I caught the bus to the airport this morning and arrived 25 minues before my flight was leaving.

Thickbox 3.0 Image Gallery – Duplication Fix July 8, 2008 4 Comments

At work today we had an issue with Thickbox for jQuery displaying "Image 2 of 3" when it was actually "Image 1 of 3". Let me describe the scenario we had it set up in. We had a thumbnail with a thickbox link on it with a hyperlink below it linking to the same image. So you could click either the thumbnail or the text to open that image. The... Read more »

Universal Energy: Scammers? May 31, 2008 9 Comments

I moved into my new apartment downtown March 30. After a few days of settling in, a man who could barely speak English came to my door.

This afte... Read more »

What’s happenin’ right now? March 24, 2008 5 Comments

It's been awhile since I've made a post that doesn't include a script or goodie to download. I felt the need to share with everyone what's happening in my life. I got a cold sore, my dog ran away and I just ate my last granola bar - but really - I am in the process of building a web application with Ben Watts. He's a superb designer and progra...

Welcome back to my new site! This time I've got it running on a nice and stable version of WordPress. Bare with me as I under-go many changes and try to get things back on track. If you've been browsing around this new site you'll notice that if you commented on one of my articles - it's gone. I don't have the time to import 200 comments into th... Read more »

To-Do 0 Comments

Well I think it's time I learn a framework. Last week I dove into Ruby on Rails and I really liked how simply the code structure was - not to mention scaffolding and MVC!
