WordPress 3.0
WordPress 3.0 should be released any day now as it’s currently on an RC 2. I thought it fitting that I would devote a post to the software that I love so much. Version 2.9, also known as Carmen McRae, was released on December 18, 2009. Starting in January, development for WordPress 3.0 started. Since…

Goal of 3 Posts Per Week
When I decided to relaunch this blog I knew that just a new redesign wasn’t going to bring people back. I needed to do something else. That being said I decided that I was going to give myself a goal of X number of posts per week. The way I am going to accomplish this…

Relaunch 2.0 is a Go!
I’m pleased to be relaunching this site today, especially on my birthday! I decided to hold off another week so that I could get a few more posts done, and a few more little things working right with this blog. I am pretty happy with the results of waiting for a week. Over the past…

Growl Notifications in Tweetie
If found it a little difficult yesterday to figure out how to get growl notifications working until @colognerunner told me how he got it working. Figured there were others that were having problems, so I make a quick little screencast showing you what I did.

Objective Resource for Faster iPhone Development
I recently came across Objective Resource for developing iPhone applications that talk with a Rails backed website. According to the site, ObjectiveResource is an Objective-C port of Ruby on Rails’ ActiveResource. It provides a way to serialize objects to and from Rails’ standard RESTful web-services (via XML or JSON) and handles much of the complexity…

What to Use to Post to Twitter
So I made some changes to Twitpress so I’m testing them to see if they work. I’m not sure if I should use this or Twitterfeed.?? I would like it to be a shortened URL, so either use tinyURL or some other service would be helpful. What does everyone else use? UPDATE: So I was…

My Setup and Software
I saw a post like this last weekend and thought that it’s time that I do one of these again myself. Everyone seems to change what they use every now and then, so I though by updating this maybe it would get other people to look at what they use and maybe make a post…

Ruby Vulnerabilities
An Apple Product Security technician has identified multiple vulnerabilities with Ruby, which if exploited could be used in denial of service attacks. It does not have to be just Mac OS X that this afects. It looks like it’s all versions based on the official post from the Ruby development team.?? To find out what…

To busy to complete…
So I’ve been getting a little busy at work lately, and while I’d like to really take you guys through a ToDo list tutorial, I just don’t have the time right now to work on that, while learning Rails 2.0, and then working on getting a ToDo list app working as well.?? Rather than leave…

My Daily Routine
Do you ever wake up feeling like you just don’t get enough done in the day? Are you tried by mid-afternoon only feeling like your list is as long as it was when you first started the day?? I’ve been there. I even wrote about how I plan my week. But let’s talk about each day.…

Quit Shooting for Perfection. It’s a Fallacy.
One of the things that are always against us, is ourselves. I say that as a perfectionist. Any perfectionist will tell you the same thing. It plays games in your mind. It paints this picture of what something should look like, but no matter what, you struggle to hit that goal.. Most of the time,…

On Taking Breaks
Over the last few months, I’ve really been enjoying the weekends. We’ve been doing a little bit of road trip traveling (I call it that because it’s something where we can visit <10 hours of drive time) and spending time at the cottage.. It’s good to unplug; get away from technology, and enjoy the outdoors.…

Stop Feeling Overwhelmed By Your Work
I used to feel completely overwhelmed each day. I was one of those that had a never-ending to-do list, that only got longer every meeting I attended. I can’t tell you the number of times that I ended the day feeling more overwhelmed with the amount of work that I had to do than when…

Zoom Fatigue is Real. Here’s How to Combat It
Everyone I have been talking to lately seems to be over Zoom. They are tired of having every single meeting be on zoom. Anytime you need to discuss something with a co-worker, it seems to be “let’s jump on Zoom” and talk through it. . The problem isn’t that we want to communicate. Because we…

Teaching is Everything
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed sharing everything that I’ve learned along my journey. It could be because I’m become a parent and a father and spend a lot of my day teaching my kids, whether it’s putting on shoes or getting them dressed, or even teaching them how to play…

Day 1: 30 Days of Clicking Publish
I was chatting with my good friend Cory Miller recently about his 30 Days of Clicking Publish. I wanted to see how it was going. It sparked too many questions and it got me thinking… I logged into my WordPress dashboard to run some plugin updates and happened to look at how many drafts I…

Launching My First Course: Chimp.Coach
I am excited to announce that I am launching my first course, Chimp.Coach. I’ve been wanting to create a course for some time. In fact, I actually have several in the work, but I have failed to get them complete and launched. Likely for many reasons I can list. But the other day a good…
