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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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.

Possibly the first CMS I ever used was Mambo, the predecessor to Joomla. It was one [...]

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 [...]

I have a bit of a rant in me right now so you may want to duck and cover. Although I tend to disagree with some of the rabid and rather constraining ideologies in the open source community, I have always agreed with the basic issue that the source code should be open so that [...]

I am running more and more into people that perceive that many web sites are so heavy with Javascript that the site bogs down and bombs their web browser. It is my personal belief that this is slightly skewed but it points out that many wish for simple, fast sites. There are times when I [...]
