Andrew Shell’s WeblogCMS Commercial Intention
April 15th, 2009Today I was playing around with the Online Commercial Intention tool on Microsoft’s adCenter Labs. Just for fun I typed in a couple PHP content management systems I’ve used to see how they rank and came across some interesting results. If you haven’t used the OCI tool before, it gives you a ranking [...]
PHP Frameworks are Governments
March 5th, 2009I was e-mailing a friend the other day talking about PHP frameworks. He’s been writing one for himself and I’ve written many many frameworks and CMSs through the years. I’ve also looked at a lot of existing frameworks out there like Zend, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Solar, Symfony and I’ve come to a conclusion. [...]
25 Random Things About Me
January 29th, 2009I was recently tagged in one of those chain letter things on facebook by my friend Blake Hall. I’m supposed to post 25 random things about myself and then tag 25 other people. Well, I’m not tagging other people but I thought it would be fun to post.
January 2009 Updates
January 27th, 2009So it seems this post falls exactly one month from my New Years Resolutions post. I thought I’d regale you with some updates.
Today I signed up for the Beginning Rock Climbing course at Planet Granite. I’m pretty impressed with what I’ve seen of the place so far. I start my first of [...]
Pictures from California
January 11th, 2009So I promised folks pictures a while ago and hadn’t gotten around to it. Mostly because I was waiting until I got everything put away and cleaned up. But you know me, I tend to procrastinate. So I figured if I waited until I got things put away the pictures would never [...]
Cause you know… I can’t read or write.
January 6th, 2009Or so I say. But clearly that’s not true, unless you believe my stories of a well trained chimp that does all my reading and writing for me. It’s a joke I’ve used quite a bit through the years. People typically find it funny because of the obvious falseness of it. [...]
New Years Resolutions
December 27th, 2008I’m not really one who does the yearly resolutions and this year is no different.
Lately I’ve been in the midst of a lot of self reflection. I guess moving across the country and starting a new life does that to a guy. So I don’t really think of the following “resolutions” as anything [...]
My weight loss
December 3rd, 2008Since April 2008 I’ve been dieting and exercising, mostly dieting. I weighed more then I ever had before at a whopping 265 lbs. Not an ideal situation.
I decided to attempt to lose weight, not really sure how I was going to do it. I started out with the South Beach Diet which [...]
Adjusting to California
November 11th, 2008So I’ve been a resident of California for just over three weeks now and things are going well. I have most of my IKEA furniture assembled and most of my boxes unpacked. I’ve been kind of lazy with things lately but that’s OK.
PBwiki is really great. Everyone I work with [...]
Last Day at Netconcepts
October 14th, 2008Friday was my last day at Netconcepts. It wasn’t very emotional because this has been building up for about a month now. My first phone interview with PBwiki was on September 5th, I was in CA interviewing in person September 19th and I put in my notice on September 24th. I’ve had [...]
