Marvin released

July 14, 2008 at 1:44 pm with 0 comments

Marvin is now online & available for inquiries! Marvin is an online business framework aimed toward the "in-between" client; someone who knows the difference between a real website and what you get from GoDaddy for $15, but who isn't necessarily able to spend the $10/15/20,000. If you're looking for a powerful framework to build an online business on, Marvin is for you.

Single Mockup Theory

Got an email from a friend of mine recently with a link to a Fadtastic article. I try not to be a link whore in blog entries (I let my del.icio.us feed do that for me), but this one had some great information worthy of a quick noteworthy post. So, without further adieu, take a moment and read.

Lucky number 76?

It takes exactly 76 emails, 1k a piece, to kill ClamAV when running in stand-alone configuration. Anyone thinking about using ClamAV, without configuring it as a daemon or a Windows service, think again because you will regret it.

NASA site on steriods

January 19, 2008 at 1:04 am with 0 comments

NASA has won my vote for best mainstream site featuring new-web interface design. December 3 of last year, NASA celebrated its 50th anniversary and launched the first major redesign of it's website in more than four years. Along with all the syndicated feeds, calendar widgets, and awesome usage of screen real estate, the most obvious implementation to any web developer is that the new web site powered by both Prototype and...

FLV not loading on IIS

September 13, 2007 at 1:11 pm with 0 comments

Flash CS3 > FLVPlayback > Component Inspector > contentPath (set) > Export Movie > Upload > Firefox > Refresh > Smash (head on MacBook) So after three hours of that routine with very little changing, I figured out that IIS on the web server didn't have the MIME type defined for the Flash video (FLV) file that was being referenced in the Flash movie (website). So, obviously, this was why IIS wasn't serving up the FLV...

view-source:url

So I might be behind the curve on this one, but I just found out about the "view-source" URI scheme name in Firefox. Until now I have been manually altering the FeedConverter.js file to disable the Feed Preview feature that's built into Firefox. Now, no more of that, I just hit any feed URL and add view-source: as a URL prefix (in front of http:// or feed://), and viola,...

I started my first business in 1998, incorporated my second business in 2001, my third in 2002 and my fourth and most recent in 2006. I am a sponge — I am constantly exploring and learning — about business, design, programming, history, society, and whatever pops up on blogs across the web.
