PhotoShop Mobile Huge in my Book.
May 11th
So I was experimenting with PhotoShop mobile tonight. I have to say this is an excellent app. Of course no one is going to do straight out design on a phone . But this definitely does the trick for your simple file editing. Here is a before and after. Using PhotoShop Mobile, I enhanced the saturation and exposure. See for yourself.

Visual Studio Express + JQuery code hinting : Intellisense not Working [RESOLVED]
May 5th
First I discovered jQuery.
Then I discovered Visual Studio Express 2010.
I was happy.
Then I learned of Intellisense which provides amazing code hinting.
I wanted a pure OOP solution for all my scripting. So when I went setup my .js files to code in, suddenly my jQuery code-hinting and intellisense disappeared.
I needed to know How can I get intellisense to work in sub files and other js files?
The answer was simple, I just had to reference my javascript files to one another with a simple line of code.
///<reference path=”../jquery/jquery-1.4.2.js”/>
That was it! Add 3 slashes and a reference path and code hinting was restored.
Something else I learned was that intellisense has an amazing abiltity to cross-reference all of your variables across multiple files.
So no, just like with FlashDevelop for ActionScript, I can successfully have access to my vars across files. And now intellisense works across multiple files.
WordPress links to stories not working [RESOLVED]
Jan 14th
WordPress how I love loathe love hate admire… I can’t decide.
I will say this. WordPress has saved me a lot of time. I can focus on the important aspects rather than minor and sometimes boring details.
So I ran across another issue with WordPress today. I made some minor changes and suddenly all the links to my stories stopped working. I checked my admin, all of the stories are still there. My homepage showed all the abstracts to my articles. But suddenly
none of the links to my stories are working!!!
How did I solve it? It was actually very simple. RESET. No I don’t mean a computer restart. I don’t mean refeshing the page. I mean I reset.
Life is just like that. Sometimes we need to reset. When it comes to our daily lives, often times that means stopping to ask forgiveness. In our own way, we can screw things up pretty good if we try to do it all on our own. So we need to come to the cross and ask Jesus to forgive us. We need to reset. Start fresh.
And so just like in life, I reset. To solve the issue of wordpress links not working, I went to settings > permalinks. Re-entered my custom permalink tag. And clicked Save Settings.
And so my issue of links to articles not working was resolved. And once again my site was functioning properly.

Christmas present unwrapping round 1
Jan 11th
So we survived the first round of gift unwrapping. My wife’s mother always goes crazy with what she gets for the kids.
Getting Started on several topics
Dec 17th
So I’ve finally pushed this live. I’m still not entirely happy with the design. Its a little too heavy for my taste but the layout works in the manner I want. So I am pushing this live. I’m going to experiment with the design elements and work on a more mobile friendly version.
Still going to do a pirate theme but that will take more effort than I have time right now.
Additionally I finally stepped into the world of smart phones. I debated cost / benefit of the iPhone. But in the end I found the HTC Hero by Sprint to be just as accessible and quite a bit easier on the wallet. The coverage of Sprint is excellent for my territories. Not to mention an unlimited everything plan for my wife and myself. Can’t complain.
Good Afternoon. Great Weather!
Oct 10th
So the weather is beautiful today. Absolutely incredible. The temps are in the low 70s and the humidity is barely noticeable.
In other news. I decided today would be as great a day as any to give WordPress a try. And so far I’m really impressed. The initial setup was a breeze.The cms is simply brilliant. Little things like a word count really make a difference. As to the product itself. I am really digging that comments and a search field are automatically installed. For a free pricetag this would be hard to beat.
Now I’m looking forward to seeing how far I can push the limits on the layout.
Goal: To find out if WordPress can take on the look and feel of a website without looking like a blog.
Goal 2: TO CREATE A PIRATE THEME
can I put a div here
