View PostThe Mist Missed It
I rented the movie version of Stephen King’s “The Mist” after Jason mentioned it at lunch today. It made for a decent horror film, but the ending was really, really lame. It was worth the $2.99 I paid to rent it from Amazon and show it on my TV via my Roku Box, but, I’d […]

WordPress is an excellent blogging/news website platform as a whole, but has been criticized for being a bit of a performance dog.

I’ve been playing around with the Code Igniter Framework for PHP over the last couple of weeks, primarily because Net Tuts has a series of 6 high-quality screencasts showing off some basic functionality of the framework. Essentially, Code Igniter provides some additional functionality and provides a standardized means of creating pages and methods using the […]
View PostHow to Post to Facebook's "Stream" using Facebook Connect and XFBML
For my day job, I’ve been developing a facebook application to coincide with its annual SpayDay event. Developing the application has caused several headaches, but once I realized that the majority of the facebook integration wouldn’t happen from the Facebook Developer Toolkit (an ASP.NET Facebook Development Framework), and instead from JavaScript-based XFBML, life got a […]
