Draft Post Disclaimer Plugin

Published on: May 29, 2020

My co-worker and friend Sal Ferrarello was telling us in one of our weekly scrums that he uses a draft category to post stuff that might not be quite ready for prime time. This gets the content out faster and its searchable but he added some code to display a disclaimer on those posts to ... [Read More]

Draft Post Disclaimer Test

Published on: March 7, 2020

Posts in the “drafts” category should be considered a work in progress and as such the contents should be used with caution. The goal of having public draft posts is to get content out that may be helpful but with busy lives we don’t always have a chance to review every detail. Warning! This is ... [Read More]

Goodbye 2019 – Hello 2020

Published on: December 31, 2019

I’m not usually big on new years resolutions and that’s not going to change today. I’m a fan of goal setting and I do that throughout the year. I like to look at what’s working and what’s not and make adjustments as I go. And I know the next decade doesn’t technically start till 2021 ... [Read More]

Serious as a Heart Attack – Surviving the Widow Maker

Published on: December 13, 2019

Let’s not bury the lede here, I just had a heart attack! And not just any heart attack either, it was the widow maker. Let me tell you the story. I’ve been low key not feeling like myself for a long time now. I’m not “sporty” active but I’m not the type to just sit ... [Read More]

What Have I done? – My First BBS

Published on: March 16, 2019

This is the first part in a series of posts I’m writing to document some of my accomplishments in computers/programming. It’s partly to have a little history and partly to remind myself just how much I know. I struggle with imposter syndrome and tend to think everyone in the business is better than me and ...

Dusting off the ole blog

Published on: August 2, 2019

I’m in the process of dusting off the ole blog here so excuse the mess if you find anything wonky – it’s a work in progress. A couple months ago I started working at Maintainn, a division of WebDevStudios and while there are certainly challenges it’s been a ton of fun. I was pretty burned ... [Read More]

Managing Online Forums

Published on: September 1, 2012

My friend Patrick, whom you probably know from phpBBHacks.com, just announced the launch of his latest project, ManagingCommunities.com. The site targets anyone who runs an online community, though I think anyone who has to manage users would benefit from subscribing. But perhaps the most important part of Patrick’s announcement is the release of his book, ... [Read More]

MySQL Search and Replace

Published on: January 16, 2008

I had to update a link for a client today and most of their content is database driven. This makes it easy to do quick searches and even search and replace. Most databases support this and the syntax is pretty close, but this tip is specifically for MySQL. So, lets say you have an affiliate ... [Read More]

Quick vi tip: Show Hidden Characters

Published on: July 2, 2020

I do a lot of development in linux/unix. In fact, that’s where all my development is, but I spend a fair amount of time in the “CLI” or command line interface. I use putty and ssh in to edit files and look at logs and just generally do what I do. Today I ran into ... [Read More]

MySQL Disaster Recovery

Published on: September 1, 2012

Today I was doing some database work for a client and I had to delete some recent entries from a database. Like a moron, I forgot to add a “where” close and emptied the entire thing! No big deal, I’m the one who wrote the backup script so I went to grab the backup for ... [Read More]
