I took a canoe trip this weekend, and forgot to take my cell phone out of my pocket before heading out on the river. We didn’t plan on tipping over, but who does expect to do that? At any rate, the dunk in the river turned my cell phone into a small aquarium. I’m heading out to get a new phone today. If you’re trying to reach me, I aplogize for the inconvenience. I should have a new phone and be up and running again later this afternoon. UPDATE: I got a new phone. It’s the RAZR V3m which has …More »

While working on a project today, I was browsing through source code on a number of sites to see how people smarter than I have done things that I need to do as well. I was looking through some JavaScript and found this: var bugRiddenCrashPronePieceOfJunk = ( navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 5.2') != -1 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') != -1); I know what it is to tear your hair out trying to get something to work in one browser or another. I’ll bet this guy spent a full working day fiddling with that browser before giving up and just writing a little function to let …More »

I’m working on a project and I thought I found a great way to do a shipping estimate form without using the default pop-up window by using the SubModal window script found at gabrito.com. This particular window works by loading the content into an iframe – which, in this case was the solution I was looking for. I’m not a big fan of iFrames, but hey, sometimes you do what you gotta do. I was working along with it and everything was going fine until I tried using it with Safari. Safari refuses to load the content of the iFrame. …More »

You might think I’m crazy, as a relatively new freelancer, to be turning down work, but I’m REALLY not into poker. I don’t mind playing the occasional friendly poker game, but spending my working hours steeped in lousy gif animations, affiliate codes, and terminology that means as much to me as an ancient text written in Aramaic (which is to say nothing) is just not my idea of fun. Poker sites just don’t turn my crank. I don’t want to do poker sites, so I’m passing on offers and requests to work on them. Even if I did do some …More »

I’ve been working on a website recently, and it finally got to the point where I moved it from one server to another. Seems like everyone in the world could see the new site but me, so I thought it was high time I flushed my cache. I did a quick google search and found that all I need to do is type this in Terminal: sudo lookupd -flushcache. The problem is, that’s not working on my machine. All I get is this lame response: sudo: lookupd: command not found. Googling that hasn’t done me any good. Anyone have any …More »
