I’ve recently made the decision to move away from a PC to a Mac for day to day use and for work/development. This process has been slow so far, but one of the first things that I tackled was being able to sync my web files to all of my computer and also be able to access them locally without having an internet connection, if needed.
Using BitBucket and GitHub with hg-git
November 8th, 2012

I’ve been using Mercurial and BitBucket since 2010 and my experiences have been really great with it. BitBucket has a great service and Mercurial is very easy to use. However, within my need to learn new and different things (and seeing everyone else use it), I decided to take a look at Git and GitHub.
Back at it and more coming soon…

Hello all,
Thank you for keeping an eye on my blog. I really like being able to help other coders and programmers out there with web development. Unfortunately, I haven’t posted anything in quite a while, so I apologize for that. I’ve been messing around with some new things that I will be posting about very soon. Just so I don’t keep you on the edge of your seat

So as most of you probably know, I run a web design and development company, but we also deal with a lot of advertising on the web. SEO, PPC, Social Media to name a few. Around this time of year a lot of people want to redesign their site, make some changes, or do some sort of advertising.
Dynamically load modules, models, and configurations in Yii

As I stated in a previous post I have started to play around with the Yii Framework, and I really love it so far. I’m moving over from CodeIgniter, and even though the 2 frameworks are very different, I haven’t had too much trouble getting up and going with it. I have built a pretty large CMS on top of CI and I’m now working on porting that over to Yii. I’m trying to mimic as much as I had before without affecting the workflow that I had previously. So far so good.

Sorry, I know that I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve just been pretty busy with client projects, personal projects, music, stuff around the house, and general “summer” stuff. I’m going to try to make it a point to write some more in the very near future.
