Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting up to speed with a few web development frameworks that I’ve been wanting to work on: NodeJS and bootstrap. I had experimented with both of them a little over the last few years, but I never had the chance to actually work on a project,…

At one point this morning I was thinking about what subject to tackle next and I started thinking about all of the different programming languages that I’m currently, actively, writing in at the moment between all of my contract and personal projects. It was getting a little scary when I realized there were about 6…

So my last post was well over a month ago, not quite fulfilling the promise of having an active blog. But life has been busy since my fiancée and I bought a house. And now between trying to find ‘stuff’ to fill it with and getting all our paperwork in order, there just hasn’t been…

In an effort to reduce my cable tv bill to almost nothing, I decided to try out Zazeen TV’s IPTV service. They are offering their skinny basic tv package for $10/month (compared to $25/month the other cable companies are charging), and it included all of the ‘regular’ channels you’d expect to get, outside of sports…

I just published a new update to the site: Instagram posts. In-between regular posts you should now see my Instagram posts that correspond to the date range between the blog posts that they are physically between. I implemented horizontal scrolling if there are more than a page-width’s worth of photos (either swipe with your thumb…

Hi All! It has been well over 3 years since my last post. I was doing alright with my 1 post a week rule up until the summer of 2012 when I guess I just gave up. It probably didn’t help that I started including tweets in my blog at some point. I felt like…

Continuing with my Apache woes from 3 months ago, I recently noticed a SymLink I had in my Sites directory was giving a 403 Forbidden error when I tried to browse into it. Assuming it was yet another thing that got reset with the upgrade, I googled ‘apache follow symlink os x’ and stumbled across…

From BGR.com: I’ve been seeing this quote around the web a lot today, and it got me thinking… does RIM really have a shot at #3? My opinion is NO. Carriers may want other platforms, but at this point do any of the smartphone users? And, yes, having the BlackBerry brand does carry some weight,…

Like a kid on Christmas, I was very excited to get up this morning. Not for presents mind you, but for the release of the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion upgrade. I wasted no time buying, downloading and installing the upgrade. Everything seemed to go well and within 45 minutes the download and upgrade had…

It is hard to believe that 1 year ago today I submitted the incorporation papers for 84 North Studios Inc. I want to be able to say that a lot has happened since then, but it doesn’t exactly feel that way. I fell just short of my goal to have 1 app in each major…
