  • 12.18.06 Psuedo-static Homepages in Wordpress posted in Web Design

  • 11.12.06 Interactive Templates for TextMate posted in Geekery

    I’ve devised an interactive templating bundle for TextMate. I still don’t have a great grasp on Interface Builder, but enough to scrap together other people’s work and make a decent form or menu out of it. But I do have enough grasp of Ruby to do something cool with it. What I’ve […]

  • 11.4.06 A stroke of brilliance, maybe posted in Web Design

  • 8.22.06 Choosing an appropriate CMS posted in Web Design

    Here’s a quick soliloquy on the virtues and values of various open-source CMS software packages, along with their downsides. This is not intended as a final say, or a one-size-fits-all guide to CMS’s. This is simply my experience and my personal choices. But I was explaining them to someone else the […]
