I was trying to build MediaTomb from the latest development source, and to do so, it required I have autoconf 2.61 and automate 1.10 installed. My Linux distribution of choice is CentOS. I was a dedicated Slackware user for many years, but opted to switch...
Memory leaks can be very hard to indentify. Most of the time this is because the amount of memory that leaks is so small you won’t see it all at once on the process task manager. There are things that you can do...
JavaScript is a very different language when it comes to Object Oriented Programming. Out of the box it doesn't support class based OOP, but with some cleaver changes you will be able to add it. One thing look out for is how much memory each...
The Finder module is a search module that can be used to complement or replace Drupal's core search functionality. The great thing about Finder is it can use a View to specify what content is to be searched for a particular Finder instance. Using a...
Version 1.0 is nearing for our Landboss project, and we're since we're at the final stretch a lot of our work is general optimization and code cleanup. As part of this we needed a way to compress (or more precisely, minify) our javascript/css files. One...
We've spent the last couple of weeks really pushing hard on our billing application, which includes a section for people to signup for a free trial without having to contact us first. It's been thoroughly tested and deployed on the live site. One minor thing...
http://highscalability.com/stack-overflow-architecture Saw this on yc and thought it was quite fascinating. I love Stack Overflow and the biggest benefit I have noticed since their launch is that they have quickly overtaken Experts Exchange in Google results. I loath Experts Exchange and I don't think I'm alone. One thing...
For landboss we use NHibernate.Search to build and query Lucene indexes made from our NHibernate objects "automagically." So far it has worked really well, and made full text search stupid-easy. Recently on our live environment we found a disturbing and very confusing issue surrounding it. The...
As a self-taught developer and as a manager who has watched the growth of many young developers, I have seen a pattern in the learning cycle of developers. It usually goes like this: 1. Make it work The young developer is ecstatic to just have code that...
Chris Kaukis and I ran into an "issue" with NHibernate yesterday that really threw us for a loop. Consider we have 2 entity types "Order" and "Item" with a Many-to-Many relationship between them. Say we want to query all the orders for a given item. ...
I have long since been an advocate of proper markup, web standards, and accessibility. Most people at InterWorks don't know it, but when I go home at night, my relaxation time is figuring out what it takes to make websites load faster. I have ultra...
When we first began using SVN a few years ago commits typically happened once a day, if that often. Over time we have learned that fine-grained commits offer many benefits over bulk commits, I've outlined a few below. Searching commits is easier Committing more often means that...
A lot of landboss is built on ASP.NET server controls but also contains a lot of javascript code, ExtJS code to be precise. To get around a lot of the headache synchronizing the server/client relationship we tend to use javascript singletons quite a bit. We'll...
Today is my 6 month anniversary at Interworks and I’ve decided to commemorate it by showing off some of what I’ve been learning. When I started at Interworks I didn’t know anything about web development and quickly realized I didn’t know much about programming either,...
Over my career, I've worked with some great print designers. The work has always been fun, but often difficult; the Web is a very different medium than print when it comes to design. For designers used to the print world, moving to Web design can...

This has been driving me nuts, there are a million ways to do this, but this is by far the easiest method I have found: Move to the beginning of the block you want to cut/copy and press shift + V for whole lines or CTRL...

I spent some time today reading and considering the ideas in two different blog posts online. The first, Universal Internet Explorer 6 CSS by Andy Clarke, and the second, The Elephant in the Room by Jonathan Snook, which was somewhat of a reply to...
