I can't decided if blogging is good in that people can share ideas and speak their mind, or it is bad for the same reasons.

Spiffy VirtualBox

Ok, I have been very busy recently, too busy to post.  But now things have slowed down a bit, I would like to post some interesting developments for web developers. I discovered that Virtualbox as of version 4 seems to now be under GNU licensing.  Which is amazing, it is a wonderful product, that I would contribute to if I had the money.  I have just got and setup my first "real" server, and I am truly amazed at virtualization. I have installed a basic desktop edition...

If there is anyone out there who follows my site, you may wonder where the heck I've been for the last few months.  Well I've been busy coding my butt off.  The site I have been working on (as part of a team of talanted developers), has finally gone public.   http://apps.facebook.com/triviatown/ I did not build it by my self, and I was not the lead developer.  I was however one of the primary php developers for the project working extensivly with php, javascript,...

Recursive Delete file type in Linux

Handy little command Ok, the reason I needed this is because I use VIM and with my configuration, it generates "*.bak" and "*.orig" files for every file I open. When I am done with a project I need to clean all of it up quickly.  After some searching, here is what I found.  (On the Ubuntu forums, I just put it on my blog so I don't lose it, and I can find it quickly) First "cd" to the top directory you want to start in.  (Don't be stupid...

Something nice for web developers I have been working on a large project recently involving multiple developers from around the world.  (I hope to post a link when we finish.)  And I got stuck with the wonderful job of Debugging Javascript/AJAX errors in IE.  For those of you who say "They have developer tools..." I laugh at you.  Compared to the tools for just about any other browser I can name, they offer the least helpful and least useful tools I have found.  For...

Disapointed in Nintendo - DSi XL Rant

March 20, 2011, 10:51 pm (1 Year, 1 Month, 4 Weeks, 2 Days, 5 Hours, 54 Minutes Ago) . posted by Matthew Craig

A review of the Nintendo DSi browser As a developer I get to see lots of people make really bad decisions, and I usually get to deal with them. I am VERY disappointed in Nintendo for the way they chose to have the browser work.  This is not a dig on Opera.  I'm a huge fan of Opera and I have followed them for about a year now, and so far I like what I've seen. (I use opera as my browser of choice daily.) I have been working on building mobile websites recently, and I got on...
