Townsquare.biz - the easiest way to get your business online
Gordon Brander and I are proud to announce the Beta launch of a new web application we’ve been working on for the last couple of months, Townsquare.biz. Townsquare allows businesses to create an online presence quickly and easily. The idea behind it is that there are a lot of small businesses that would like to [...]
Craigslist.org OPML Exporter
When I first started freelancing I was looking for a way to get an RSS feed of all the computer gigs on craigslist.org for every city in the USA. Since most of these postings were telecommunting position it didn’t matter what city they were posted in. But grabbing the feed manually from 300+ cities on [...]
Lorem Ipsum Bookmarklet
My thought was to create a bookmarklet that would insert a block of dummy filler text (Lorem Ipsum) in the input you currently have in focus. This would come in handy when testing form submission. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do this for quite some time now without any luck. This [...]
Find and Replace Regular Expression
I find myself creating a fair amount of forms for websites. I normally want to grab the $_POST variables and assign them to local variables. I found a relatively easy way to do this using the power of TextMates Regular Expression Search and Replace. Once the form is created I submit it, [...]
Top 15 TextMate Shortcuts
TextMate by Macromates is by far the best code writing/development tool I’ve ever used. Not only is it awesome at face value, but the depth of features and extras make it the ultimate productivity booster when developing. What’s equally amazing is how it accomplishes this with no bloat. If you spend any [...]
The New Office
After a month or so of working from home I’m back to working an office. This week I secured about 100 sqfeet of office space all to myself. It’s small and at the moment doesn’t even have a desk, but it’s got some nice windows and most importantly it’s quiet and my own [...]
My Absence from Blogging
I know that my readership is in the single digits, and therefore not many people have actually realized that I haven’t blogged a thing since September, nearly a three month absence. The emails begging me to continue posting never came. But it’s to be expected, this is a personal thing that I’ve kept [...]
Blueswarm.org It’s LIVE!
So after 3 days with only about 10 hours of combined sleep we have released our private beta of blueswarm.org. If you’re interested in checking it out send me a note and I’ll get an invite out to you. Or go to the home page and check it out. If you want [...]
pdftotext - Thank You
Due to the nature of my job I spend more time than I’d like making product pages out of PDF documents. Needless to say this process is quite tedious. The simple way would be to use Preview to open the PDF and use the text-tool to copy and paste any relevant text into [...]
$mosConfig_live_site - the ‘www’ could be the difference
Recently Bluehost.com decided to apply a security update to the PHP version on our box. This would appear to be an uneventful occurrence and normally I wouldn’t have even taken notice (especially since I was on a one week vacation due to my son being born), but this update was a problem. Turns [...]
