Afterglow

I have this social aggregation project I've been working on called AfterGlow, and it's not without its challenges, but tonight I did some work on it on a few areas that have been insufficient up until now. Instagram's API supports pagination, so I added support for that - full support too, so it will continue [...]

WordPress Plugin: PDFs Open in New Tab

I had a client recently where I had to import over 150 pages into their site in order to get the moved over to WordPress. I didn't have access to the database as it was a proprietary CMS they were using, so I ended up having to use HTTrack to take an offsite copy of [...]

How to transfer email accounts and messages between servers?

2016-01-11T09:04:51-08:00January 9th, 2016|Blog|

Moving emails to your new server should be relatively easy - if you want to transfer your email messages from one server to another, you can now do this with only your login details. No FTP transfers needed, and you don't need to drag and drop between accounts in your mail program. It utilizes the IMAP [...]

PHP Best Practices

2016-01-31T11:32:18-08:00December 9th, 2015|Blog|

You know the worst part about focusing on function over form, and working mostly on your own? You neglect to make sure that your coding style is uniform, that you're following best practices, and that your code is properly SPACED and INDENTED (one tab per level). A lot of times I don't have to go [...]

IMAP Migration PHP Script v2

2016-02-17T21:03:26-08:00November 9th, 2015|Projects|

A few things have changed since the last time I posted the IMAP migration script, and my wishlist of features is almost complete. Instead of a single file that you have to manually specify variables in, you now have fillable form that uses jQuery.post to send variables to another file (called process.php), which handles the [...]

WordPress Variable Monitoring Script

I ran into an issue with WP E-commerce recently where the shipping options appeared to be unchecked every day that we went to go and look at them. Turns out it was a line in one of the shipping files that reset the shipping array to just "shipwire" which made it appear as if someone [...]

This is a throwback to last year; I was watching TV with my oldest son when I heard the familiar jingle of an email on my phone, or my smartwatch, or both. It was a client - as usual - after hours, wanting a quick response. I ran downstairs and told him to finish his [...]

Parents

2016-02-17T21:03:50-08:00September 29th, 2015|Family|

You all know what I'm talking about, parents and technology. It's been around for the better part of three decades, but when did they start to learn about computers? Oh, about the past 5 years - or less. It's a stigma, and it means learning something new, and being afraid of not being good at [...]

Babies

That day. When you're in a really important meeting and you realize you have dried drool on your shoulder, and don't even know it. Then when you're on your way home you realize "That's how they knew I have kids!". When this happens multiple times, including having a soother pop out of your laptop bag, [...]
