Presenting at ARBug 04/12/2012
I presented the course evaluations building block at ARBug this year. I did this to practice for my upcoming presetation at BbWorld DevCon 12. The presentation was geared towards system admins but there were only 3 system admins out of the 12 people that showed up so the audience wasn't really right. Below is the prezi I used, I may not use this for DevCon... as it was a little more liberal in nature.
Add Comment Google+ Weebly 04/03/2012
As a side note, I am assuming Weebly uses similar identifiers for all it's web sites when it renders the ${content} section of blogs, so if that is true then hopefully my scripts should work for your Weebly blog too. If not, let me know... and if you'd like to know more about this weebly.google.plus.js script keep reading...
How to read a csv file in bash 03/26/2012
Csv files are very underrated. Below is a pretty straightforward way to read in a csv file in bash. Regardless of it's simplicity, I thought I'd share it. I may need to remind myself later how to do this. Programming Contest Questions 03/12/2012
Nostalgia with CSS Sprites 03/03/2012
How?If you like your whiskey straight from the bottle then I won't bore you with lots of details and you can skip straight to the source code or the index.html. Just so you don't call me a liar, note that this version doesn't have prototype in it, even though I said I was experimenting with it. As it turns out, I did away with it and used jquery instead long ago. Weebly doesn't like jQuery so I made a Prototype version to keep from breaking some other stuff I have. You've made it this far, so if you want to see more details then keep on reading...

RESTful Data Sources 02/16/2012
Thus, only a programmer can access the data. Those same programmers whom likely don't fully understand the information collected and stored within the database. Programmers care about stuff like, structure, performance, security, servers and whatnot but data is just data. Later programmers will use an ORM to piece back together the data which was broken apart into a relational database only to re-structure the data into an object format. I could go on and on here, but my point is: SQL can be really stupid. Objects are easy. Resources are easy too. This got me to thinking...
Unboxing the Boxee Box 01/28/2012
Unfortunately, sleep mode did not work well with the media center (IR receiver, wake-up stuff) and furthermore could be confusing and frustrating. Following the Keep It Simple Stupid methodology, disabling sleep mode seemed the best option at the time. The thought occurred to me that if I could decommission this media PC then I would save electricity. It also just so happens that Kitty, my lovely wife, was in the market for a new computer, thus I formated the old media center computer instead of buying a brand new PC ($400+). Given all these conditions, in a mixed up kind of way I ended up saving money with a Boxee box - yes, I can be a real a tight-ass sometimes. Just as a side note: updating the Boxee software fixed a lot of issues that I was experiencing on this video! Kitty and I have been using this for several months now and still really enjoy it.
Blackboard Course Evaluations Building Block 01/04/2012
During the month of November, I worked on a project at UALR to create a process for online course evaluations. The result of several weeks of slaving away on one of my first blackboard Building Blocks (B2) ended up being used to allow online students evaluate courses at the university. If you're interested read on...
