Using a Key-Pair To Automatically Login with PuTTY

Okay, here’s a little tutorial to teach you how to use a key to log into an SSH server. It’s actually quite simple after I found out how to do it, thanks to this guy. Log into your SSH server using PuTTY. In your home directory (if you don’t automatically go there at login, you [...]

Music by Google

Music by Google is a cloud-based music manager from the folks at Google. Songs from your media library are uploaded to Music so you can listen to them from anywhere. It’s currently in an invitational beta stage (you can request an invite from the site) but it seems like development is going pretty well. Currently, [...]

Estimating US Corporation Income Tax in Excel

I recently found myself having to estimate income tax for my U.S.-based corporation. So, I made an Excel formula to handle it for me. It takes the taxable income (you’re on your own for that, but you can reference the IRS’s instructions for form 1120) and puts it against the brackets listed in the publication. [...]

April 27th Tornado Disaster

A month ago, a massive storm system tore through the southeastern US leaving much in the way of devastation and death in its wake. Part of the devastation was in my current city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We suffered damages in the billions and a great loss of life. This is my first blog post in [...]

Clearing form values (and putting back the defaults) with jQuery

This is probably the oldest trick in the book, but I’m a n00b to jQuery, so I wanted to try and figure this out on my own. I have a decently simple form where I wanted to put the field name as the default (so it shows up in the field itself). When the user [...]

Sync installed apps with Android Market

Sometimes the Market app on Android phones can get a little confused and not sync up installed applications properly. Maybe it was a corruption, an app, or a crash, but, nevertheless, the damage is done. This affects the My apps of the Market where you can view all your installed apps, look for updates, rate, [...]

Quick way to disable tab animation in Firefox 4 with about:config

On Lifehacker, they show a quick and easy way of editing one value in Firefox’s about:config to turn off the animations between tabs. Which, ascetically speaking, it’s quite nice. However, I use Firefox as more of my workhorse browser which I’m developing sites and what not, so ascetics take a back seat. This little fix [...]

Changing application names in Symfony

It’s generally frowned upon in Symfony to change your application’s name. To be honest, I thought it was just going to be a lot of hassle. Thankfully, it wasn’t and here’s how to do it: First, rename the application directory to reflect your new application’s name. The directory will be in < sf_root >/apps/. In [...]

Getting around FreshBooks’ recurring.update ‘frequency’ issue

I’m writing a few scripts which interacts with the FreshBooks API using a modified (by me) version of the Freshbooks PHP Library by Milan Rukavina. Using this library, to update anything, you first call the get() method which populates the appropriate class (e.g., FreshBooks_Client for clients and FreshBooks_Recurring for recurring profiles) attributes with the data.

Unsupported Browser!

My site is designed for and currently displays best with modern browsers (and it looks like you don't have one!).

Everything should still function properly, but you won't be able to see all the fancy effects, text, or the way I intended my design to look.

Consider trying the latest version of either Firefox or Chrome... I think you'll like it!
