iOS Smart App Banner plugin for WordPress
I just released version 1.0 of my iOS Smart App Banner plugin for Wordpress. This plugin lets you put a smart app banner at the top of your post or page when an iOS device visits in mobile Safari. It’s a great tool for app promotion that makes it very easy for people to find & buy your app in the App Store.
I just noticed that the live feed from this blog to my brochure site at archive.mistercameron.com was broken. The code I wrote to parse the rss data was throwing an error because the link to http://archive.mistercameron.com/feed no longer resolved. Huh. The folks at WordPress must have changed something in their .htaccess file recently because adding …
After much work and anticipation, the Environmental Lights redesign has launched. I’ve effectively been the dev project lead (not project manager) for this site (via 212Interactive) for the last year – a great experience.

I’ve been thinking about the things PHP needs to remain relevant. I don’t mean to say that it is becoming irrelevant, but as many people are becoming wooed by Ruby on Rails, the way PHP is done is becoming more and more … tiresome. We like Rails because, well, it’s just cool. PHP as a …
One of the latest tees from ThinkGeek is probably one of my favorites so far. White text on a black shirt says “I Never Finish Anyth”. Product page can be found here. You gotta admit this is pretty funny – especially if you’re somebody like me with a lot of interests, but never the time …
I’ve been making a lot of minor updates to the DFL website. I finally got around to making the site look decent in Internet Explorer. I really should have done it earlier. The only major rendering differences between the Safari/Opera/Firefox camp and IE is the location of the main page block: IE positioned against the …
The DFL is in the news again! http://www.digitalfishlibrary.org/the_news/ Included in the most recent updates: News segment from NBC 7/39 in San Diego, and the press release at the SIO website. Also, link to our little spot in Nature (one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world). Nature 440, 396-397 (23 March 2006) ~Cameron
Today is the big day – our press release is now out, and even featured on the SIO (Scripps Institution of Oceanography) website. In just under an hour we’ll begin scanning a juvenile great white shark as part of the press “event.” If you haven’t read my other posts on the DFL, here’s a brief …
