A friendly reminder from your local web developer/designer: How to Ruin a Web Design – The Design Curve. A little bit less abstract: How to live happily with a great designer. Maybe I’m not a great designer, but I will say I may be a better designer than a lot of other web designers (and …

Diggnation in La Jolla
Just got back from the taping of Diggnation from the La Jolla Brew House with my good friend Chad Martin. Kevin and Alex are down with the crew (including Martin Sargent) for Comic-Con. Kevin Gamble (aka Johnny Johnny, Mixologist) of TikiBar made several on-camera appearances offering the guys shots. Honestly, I was expecting them (especially …
Mr. Fish Lite is coming
If you’re interested in the DFL project, you’ll be happy to know that German and I are tasked with a bit of a crack programming job in the next week or so. Actually, we told our boss the idea we had about making a “Lite” version of the data viewer program that runs through some …
Export Evolution contacts data to Apple Mail
It was bound to happen – I finally got a Mac at work for most of the web/media authoring I do. It’s important for me to at least be able to send email (i.e. attachments) without having to go an extra step by copying things like PSD and movie files over to linux just so …

SSH Tunnel for Samba Shares
German (my coworker and friend) posted something a while ago which I am now finding pretty useful: http://eichberger.de/2006/01/ssh-tunnel-smb-for-mac-os-x.html Note that this post is oriented toward those with macs, but the same should work on other *nix systems with a few minor modifications. Why do I need this? Well, I’m still on the campus network, but …
php|architect
I just wanted to plug the php|architect (phparch.com) Magazine. It’s not too expensive and there are a lot of good articles each month. One thing I plan on implementing to one extent or another is the PHP Clustering on Linux – comes from a set of articles by Joseph H. Kouyoumjian. Most likely I won’t …
Siggraph2006 Poster
We got the good news today: our poster for Siggraph2006 has been accepted! Look for Interactive 3D Graphics for Web-based Data Analysis and Visualization for the Digital Fish Library (DFL). I likely won’t be there for the conference, but German will – he is the first author, after all. DFL Publications.
Firefox 2.0a3 (BonEcho) for Mac
I like what I see. It’s not quite polished, but it’s surprisingly mature for such an early release. It’s fast, even w/o being a native PPC G4 buld like DeerPark (3rd-party FF build). I’d even go as far to say that it’s faster than my beloved Safari. Doesn’t choke. Test: myspace. Most browsers I try …
Smarty: sections and iterators
Just wanted to point this out to any who may be interested, or can’t seem to figure out how to hop around array indices in the Smarty template. In straight PHP it’s simple enough to bounce around to different array indices $array[$ii-1] etc. In Smarty, not so easy. If you want to compare the current …
Glossary links, anyone?
We’ve all been to those sites before – the ones that dubiously insert advert links on keywords throughout the page. It’s pretty annoying because they often have nothing to do with the reason(s) why you were on that page to begin with. So now here I am, telling you how to do it easily. But I assure you – my intentions are completely pure!
