Are In-Game Purchases Doomed?

On June 1, 2011 By

I prob­a­bly made my last in-game pur­chase last week on my iPad. Something hap­pened that got me to think­ing and won­der­ing. Are in game pur­chases even­tu­ally doomed to fail­ure? Are the com­pa­nies who make and/or dis­trib­ute the games, espe­cially the ‘free’ ones, going to go too far and alien­ate their users so that the revenue […]

More Changes Coming

On September 16, 2010 By

Some may have noticed that I changed my theme. My old one basi­cally broke and this new one was handy, i.e., it was already sit­ting on my com­puter and I could install it quickly. Obviously, I made a cou­ple changes to it (added a bit of green to the oth­er­wise grayscale theme) but in general, […]

New Toy

On August 22, 2010 By

Well, I did what I didn’t think I would do, at least not as soon as I did. I bought an iPad. Joy and I just went on vaca­tion (obvi­ous from the pic­tures in pre­vi­ous post eh?) and we thought that it would be some­thing good to have on the trip. Both Joy and i […]

Django: Pt 2

On May 24, 2010 By

A quick note to say as much as I like Django, it turns out I still get really frus­trated with Python. I keep get­ting stu­pid inden­ta­tion errors. I find that using spaces instead of tabs is as I said in my ear­lier post a big part of this. I just screw up spaces when […]

Django as an Alternative

On May 13, 2010 By

After really look­ing back and forth regard­ing WordPress and Drupal I decided to look around at dif­fer­ent devel­op­ment frame­works just for gig­gles and ran into Django (pro­nounced jango) again. I have run across Django before and usu­ally elim­i­nated it imme­di­ately because it is Python based instead of PHP. But for what ever silly reason… […]

Well, after a long thought I have decided to stick with WordPress for the time being which means I won’t be mov­ing every­thing over to PostgreSQL. I still have the same moti­va­tion for mov­ing to PostgreSQL that I had before but I am just com­fort­able for the time being with WordPress.

What about Joomla?

On March 23, 2010 By

In my pon­der­ings about WordPress and PostgreSQL I was chal­lenged to con­sider Joomla. Believe me, I have con­sid­ered Joomla and rejected it, at least for my use. Let me give you a brief his­tory of Joomla and me.

Well, I just ran into what I con­sider a major road­block or maybe a fork in the road. I really want to move to using PostgreSQL exclu­sively, drop­ping MySQL. But WordPress is basi­cally being writ­ten for MySQL exclud­ing all other data­bases. This means I either have […]
