EA buys Pogo from AT&T
Last year I was accepted in the beta test program for AT&T's Pogo web browser. I was an interesting product, but was ultimately doomed to fail because it failed to follow the "show them what they want to see, not what you want them to see" convention of web advertising.

I was cleaning up my computer and removing old programs when I came across Pogo. I decided to go to www.pogobrowser.com and check out the latest build. Much to my surprise, the website is gone. The server is giving a 404 error. I [Read More]

RETS model for CakePHP 1.2
It's been a while since I released any PHP code for working with the RETS system. If you've worked with RETS, you know how difficult and frustrating it is. Hopefully, my code will be of some help.

I rarely work outside of the CakePHP framework anymore. Since that is the case, I this code release will be a RETS model for use with CakePHP 1.2. It handles an initial download of all active listings and stores them in the database. It will also handle a CRON job for periodically getting newly added, updated, or deleted listings from your RETS provider.

Please review [Read More]

Promoting Users Using CakePHP ACL
I spent some time looking for an easy way to promote user accounts to administrator status using CakePHP's ACL system. My ARO's are fairly simple. I have an Admin ARO and under that I have all the admin user accounts. Then I have the Users ARO. ARO:
 - Root
     - Admin
         - User 1
         - User 5
     - Users
         - User 2

After weeks of waiting for my local brick and mortar Best Buy to start carrying the Asus 1000HE, they finally started carrying what I thought was the 1000HE. I called my local Best Buy to check if they had one instock before driving to pick it up.

The only reason I have waited to purchase one from Best Buy is because I have a Best Buy credit card that offers 0% for 6 months on all purchases. I generally don't purchase from them unless their price is very close to online [Read More]

I can remember the day well. I was in fourth grade and my art teacher had mentioned to my parents that she thought I might be colorblind. My mom walked me down Pine Street in Rolla, Missouri and into an eye doctor's office. Shortly thereafter, I was looking at a small book with white pages and groups of colored circles. Some of the pages held numbers hidden in the colored circles, some didn't.

Little did I know how much that day would become the start of a long and interesting journey down the path of being categorized as color bind. I've looked around the internet and nobody [Read More]

Removing Navigation from jQuery Lightbox
Leandro Pinho wrote a great jQuery lightbox plugin. I have made a slight modification to it to restrict the navigation, Next and Prev links, from the lightbox.
$(".lightbox").lightBox({ gallery: false });
