If you don’t know, now you know: https://stripe.com/ Stripe is, or rather states, that they do online processing for a flat fee and act as your gateway interfacing directly with your bank. AWESOME! I think Stripe is pretty new right now; and unfortunately I haven’t used them to know how great it really is. But, [...]

AIR3 In Flash CS5 For iOS / Android
November 4, 2011 – 11:30 pm
Still slacking. But I just thought about this blog and thought I would put up my recent troubles. Adobe has been touting lately that the new version of AIR is so powerful that people are porting over intense Flash games for iOS. Being an avid AS3 developer I didn’t want to miss out on testing [...]
Chop A String On a Whole Word With PHP
August 8, 2011 – 5:24 pm
I’ve been slacking an not writing anything so I’m going to start trying to write much smaller posts starting with this one. A common need for template developers is chopping a string at a whole word. There’s a lot of functions out there on the web to tackle this problem and I went searching for [...]
Sending Emails That Don’t Suck With WordPress
March 17, 2011 – 5:16 pm
I’ve wondered about emailing in WordPress for a while but never did anything about it. How does WordPress send emails? What functions can we hook to for emails? What if I want to setup a template with a form and email someone? And, what if I want to send nice html emails and not just [...]
Understanding Variable Scope
February 18, 2011 – 5:31 pm
This week I saw a lot of problems on forums, and at our office related to scope. So I’ve decided to write on scope as it relates to a few languages and discuss why understanding variable scope can save you a lot of headache. I know there are already quite a few articles online about [...]
New jQuery Content Rotator Plugin
February 12, 2011 – 11:11 am
This is an official release of a jQuery plugin I wrote some time ago and have been using and updating a lot lately. I’ve decided to release it here, and on jQuery, because I’ve finally got all of the bugs out and it has enough options and methods to work for any job. As devlopers [...]
Editor Of Choice
February 4, 2011 – 9:34 pm
I’m a pretty big fan of open source initiatives, code, rules, and especially software. If you go to school for computer science they’re going to give you the command line and probably a bunch of proprietary software; either free or not, to develop with. Sun puts out a decent developer JAVA. Microsoft has Visual Studio. [...]
Password Protecting HTML Files
January 30, 2011 – 6:24 pm
The other day I was doing some work on a back-end system for a client and ran into the problem of having a ton of html files that needed to be accessible only by administrators. Why would I have a bunch of html files you ask? For practical reasons you may have any number of [...]
Mobile Framework Roundup
January 25, 2011 – 9:31 am
I’ve been working at this office in Bakersfield for about 2 years now after my foray into the freelance world which I did also for 2 years. And while I still freelance on the side it’s nice to work with a team of people I see everyday. It also provides me the opportunity to start [...]
AS3 Remoting Class & AMFPHP
August 6, 2010 – 9:59 am
So if you haven’t heard; AMFPHP has been a big deal. With Flex doing all of Flash’s heavy data lifting lately it’s been a real, crying, egregious shame that Adobe has left out the Remoting Components from AS2. Although, I’m not going to just sit here and ramble on about how Flash is still more [...]
