BarCamp Orlando 3 was awesome!

Anyone who lives in Central Florida who's into anything IT-related, or design, or business management, or marketing.. or anyone who wasn't otherwise busy, should have been at BarCamp Orlando this past Saturday. With three rooms for presentations, there were plenty of sessions to cover just about any interest. Needless to say, it was awesome.

New home for the website

After several months waiting to do so, I've finally moved this site to Drupal. Right now the content has been moved over and I've set up most of the bare features I wanted, but I still have to finish some functionality and, obviously, make it not look quite so horrible. More updates will be arriving over the coming weeks, stay tuned!

Downgrading svn repositories from 1.5 to 1.4

It's an odd situation, but occasionally you need to convert your data to run on an older version of an application rather than the typical upgrade to newer versions. One such situation arose for me recently. I was starting a new project and was beginning to add/change code while working from home after-hours, with obviously no server admins around to IM a request for a new subversion repository. Being the agile developer I am, I figured I'd just create a local repository and upload it when I was next at the office.

Amazing photos from Kentucky's horrendous ice storm

Kentucky has been going through some tough times with a horrendous ice storm that has devastated the western side of the state. Someone posted a link to a blog of a KY inhabitant detailing the destruction with some breathtaking photos and a note that they don't expect to receive power for several more weeks. Ugh. The conversation with my wife included the following:

Wife: "This is a storm of a century, something that only happens once in a lifetime!"

Full-screen browser for OSX - PlainView

Building my presentation for the FL Drupal Camp I was stuck - neither Firefox nor Safari would let me do a full-screen browser display so the audience was going to be stuck seeing my title bar, browser window border, tool bar, etc - not terribly good for a presentation. A bit of searching later I discovered the perfect solution - PlainView.
