- Static File Version Control in CakePHP
One of the problems I’ve had is how to push updates to static files like javascript and content style sheets. If you want to program for performance you have to use a far future expires header to cut down on HTTP requests. The downside to this is that when you update your script and it [...]
Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:47:54 +0000 - Six months of google
I haven’t messed around with my Google search history all that much but I saw a cool feature today that creates a heat map on a monthly calendar that tracked my search usage. If anything I still use Google way to much. These searches are also only from home desktop. I think 150+ searches per day [...]

In honor of Digg implementing their image section I added Facebook Share preview support to my Cool Pictures site. Now anyone digging or sharing images on facebook will get a handy thumbnail preview. I’m also working on more robust user features so that more people can add, save and rate their favorite images to the [...]

One of my friends suggested that I try the FireFTP plugin after I expressed both my love and frustration over CuteFTP and WS_FTP. This plugin is awesome it has the same layout of any popular FTP client as well as the useful features like drag-n-drop and SSL/TLS encryption. It is also totally free. Download the FireFTP [...]

With one picture I will sum up what is wrong with Digg. Shout spam sucks. I setup an account to see how having friends on Digg could help you get on the front page. My 992 friend sample was made up of a random sample of all active users I could find online over a 2 [...]
Fri, 23 Nov 2007 21:15:00 +0000 - First Project Takes off
Its been about 10 days since I started my cool pictures project. I’ve added a lot of new features like an RSS Feed, sitemap, stats and easy navigation. I still want to give people the ability to upload and create their own niche communities. I have a few other ideas that I’ll keep under wraps [...]
Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:26:11 +0000 - Cron Job in CakePHP 1.2
After looking around the net for a way to execute cakephp scripts via a crontab I became fed up and made my own solution. I simply added a function to my existing controller and then executed it via a wget. class PostsController extends AppController function crontab { // 404 if the request isnt from the localhost if($_SERVER(’REMOTE_ADDR’) [...]
Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:02:38 +0000 - Proof of Concept Project Released
My first proof of concept project, cool pictures has been added to the sub domain of this website. The site is fairly simple and most of the magic comes from behind the scenes to easily post images in a single click. I used the CakePHP framework to complete it in about two days. There is still [...]

Note: I’m still looking [...]
Mon, 22 Oct 2007 14:30:18 +0000 - 32 player Team Fortress 2
I’ve been playing tf2 ever since the orange box came out and while I enjoy it I was puzzled why the maximum server size in the browser was 24 players when games like counter strike source can support 32. So I looked around and found out that team fortress 2 does support 32 players. Valve [...]
