This is a great description/view point of frameworks and the framework crowd out there. It’s funny, and like frameworks, isn’t always the answer.

YANYRP – Yet another new years resolution post

Posted by & filed under personal, php.

I’m a strong believer in the power of the written word, and that if you want to achieve anything, you must write down your goals. It’s a little like documentation and defining requirements for a software project, in life if you haven’t written down what you want, you’re missing the requirements document of your life….

For all the travelers out there, who stay in hotels….

Sprint EVDO/3G data cards, and Tele-Commuting

Posted by & filed under Apple, evdo, iphone, php, telecommute.

A while back, I had talked about the issues I had with my
EVDO express card purchase and my macbook pro, a lot of you asked me to sum up my experiences with the card, and to comment on whether the speeds are worthy of being a primary connection or not, so here’s my answer.

Definitely, maybe.

I know, such definitive answers make me sound like a politician don’t they? Well.. politicians would probably skirt the question completely..
Here are my experiences with the Sprint USB card since late June 2007.
