I spent a few hours yesterday formatting my Mac Pro and reinstalling OS X. When I formatted the drive, I thought that it would be great to set the file system to be case sensitive. A few hours later, with my OS updated & set up how I wanted, I started installing applications. I went [...]

Adobe wrote these great, free ColdFusion Curriculum projects for new and intermediate ColdFusion developers. I recently had a friend interested in getting started with ColdFusion, and I pointed him in this direction. He came back to me a few days later, wondering if ColdFusion was really supported on the Mac. I asked him why he [...]

I love my Mighty Mouse. Like many others, my grubby hands eventually caused the scroll ball to stop scrolling in one or more directions. I tried the official Apple instructions to clean the ball, but it didn’t really work. Others have suggested compressed air and other tricks, but I didn’t have any luck with those, [...]

Enjoy version 1.1!

This is extremely frustrating, and the best that Charter offers is an opt-out cookie that you have to [...]

Just wanted to follow up. The Charter guys on twitter got in touch with me right away last Monday, and proceeded to solve my issues. They utilized the services of one of their network engineers to double-check the configurations on everything from my modem all the way up the chain to the local office. Somewhere [...]

Seduced by Charter’s upstream speeds (2 mbps with their 20 mbps service, and 5 mbps with their 60 mbps service), along with their better prices than AT&T’s slower DSL services, I finally caved. On Friday, a tech installed my 20 mbps service, and we were off to the races.
Earlier tonight, I was working with Dan [...]

I’ve written my first Facebook application, Job Connection. It allows you to use your Facebook friends network to look for a job by word of mouth. On the flip side, it lets you connect your friends with job openings that you know of.
So, go out, install it, and don’t forget to invite your friends. The [...]
