Watching the Wheels

People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I’m o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game.
For those of you who don’t know, this is the first verse of John [...]

The Reverse Engineering of a Super Tag Ink

I just thought I’d let you all know what’s going on while you’re waiting for the latest and greatest.
As the post title says, I was involved in the reverse engineering of one of the most important inventions of the 20th century: the Super Tag Ink.
For those that aren’t privy to what exactly the Super Tag [...]

From the Heart…

CAUTION: This post is probably might be oozing a little more than people are used to from my blog…
Anyway, last year, June 17, 2008, to be exact, my wife and I were gifted with a baby boy. As an added surprise, he was born with Down Syndrome. Immediately, we were hit with the [...]

PHP Script Security Revisited

So back in the day when I first started building Caffeinated Content for WordPress, it occured to me that I should include some sort of registration scheme so I could protect my interests.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve walked on both sides of the tracks.  I whole-heartedly believe in a try before you buy software system [...]

Back From Lake Tahoe

I’m back from Lake Tahoe in one piece!  All I can say is that I nearly wept when I pulled out of the hotel parking lot on my way back to the Reno airport.  The entire area is simply breathtakingly beautiful.  Here’s a picture from the summit of Heavenly ski resort looking over at the [...]

Sanity break…Lake Tahoe

All work and no play make for a grumpy Jason.
Friday, I’ll be flying out of here (Shittown, USA.  AKA NYC) to Lake Tahoe for a few days of skiing and a few nights of work.  Since I’m going alone, leaving the family at home, you can expect a new release of Caffeinated Content to show [...]

Busy busy busy….weekends are now shot through the holiday season.

My mother is visiting from Wisconsin this coming weekend so we’ve been busting our tushes trying to make things presentable for her. After the baby was born, all of the spare time that used to be there is out the window…at least he’s got an excellent temperment so it could be worse.
Anyway, I’m working [...]

Jason got run over by a limo…

Apparently I’m accident prone.
Just ran out of the office to get a bite to eat.  Innocent, yes…this time!
The limo was trying to make a turn into the wall of tourists crossing the street and I just happened to be at the end of a good portion of them.  Luckily, I walk fast and he was [...]

Holiday decorating stinks!

Yesterday, I got out the lights, ladder and staple gun with intentions of decorating the porch for the holiday season.
Sounds like a good idea right?  Well, it was supposed to be.
I got the ladder set up, picked up a set of lights, grabbed the staple gun…and shot myself right in the finger.  No idea how–it [...]

WordPress 2.7 beta testing

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been playing with the latest beta of WordPress 2.7.  It’s got a few cool enhancements (the new dashboard slick, as are the enhancements to the plugin interface).
The only downfall so far is that it seems to be extremely slow…
Either way, Caffeinated Content still works perfectly.
