If you know me or have followed my blog for any length of time you probably are already aware of my Microsoft frustrations by now. I have been using Microsoft Windows operating systems since they have been around. My first operating system was DOS 6.22, the old command line, and I have moved with them […]

PHPR Search Panel on _list.php?
I ran into something this evening using v5.2 of PHPRunner’s IDE / Code Generator that has me puzzled a bit. I have already brought it to Xlinesoft’s attention to inquire about the issue but haven’t heard back, and I have posted a message on the message board related to the issue as well. What is […]
Real Impressed w/ PHPR v5.2
I had a client that I did some application development for several years ago contact me this week for some routine maintenance to their solution. The project was simple enough, just building a dynamic URL w/ {$values_called_in} from the database. This custom URL would hit their existing search function and return their search results. Pretty […]
My Google Search Story
I ran across this on Robert Blake’s Tumblr page and thought it was pretty cool so I created one myself. This reminds me a lot of the television ad Google ran during the Super Bowl, it might be the exact same thing, I was too pissed about the Colts losing to remember much else.
Projects: Mayor James Valley
Several years ago my partners and I were contracted by Mayor James Valley of Helena to design a web presence for his Mayoral Campaign during Helena-West Helena’s first election since consolidating. We build a custom site for Mayor Valley that served his purpose well at the time, but recently when he reached out to us […]
Thoughts on Income Taxes…
For the past few weeks I have listened to people voice their opposition to the Health Care Reform plan that was recently passed by Congress. I don’t think that I have seen any piece of legislation garner such intense debate and outrage as this one. While watching CNN and listening to various panelists dispute the […]
Right Clicking on the Mac…
My transition to the MacBook Pro has been going pretty good the past few weeks. I am really liking the machine a lot. Last week I installed Parallels and started moving some of my native Microsoft Applications over, and I must say, that transition has went very well. The one thing that has always been […]
Projects: Crawford for Congress
Another one of my recent projects has been a political website for Republican First Congressional District Candidate Rick Crawford. We were retained by the Crawford Campaign to redesign their existing website and to incorporate some new functionality to their base WordPress installation. Given the amount of plugins that are available today for WordPress it’s a […]
Projects: #RefreshCA Website
Recently I upgraded the Central Arkansas Refresh website to run MU, or BuddyPress as it is now called. I also added some additional plugins to the site such as Disqus commenting platform, Feedburner Feedsmith, Kieran’s Calendar, and of course a BuddyPress Forum. My hopes are that the website, which we currently don’t utilize, can become […]
Genesis Theme Framework Review
I am a huge fan of Brian Gardner’s StudioPress Premium Themes for WordPress and have been for a while now. His code is always consistent, clean, and well documented. StudioPress CSS (cascading style sheets) are always very easy to navigate for adjusting fonts, colors, etc. So in the latter part of 2009 when StudioPress. announced that […]
