    Photos from my Iphoneography

    Welcome to my Iphonoegraphy gallery. The series of photos started as a result of an iphonoegraphy challenge on Twitter that required taking and editing pictures with your phone. The photos displayed here have all been taken using my iPhone 4. All editing has been done on the phone using various apps. I hope you enjoy my work.

    Who Coined iPhoneography

    December 6, 2011 | General

    This post has absolutely nothing to do with who coined the term, iphoneography. But it’s pretty hilarious finding out this site came up as a Google search result for that term. Moving along to what this post is really about.

    You Found Me How
    I don’t recall the last time I looked at my site stats. More specifically, the keywords that people use to find my site. After reading yet another funny post by Patti on how people found her, I figured I would write up a similar post. Unfortunately, I can’t produce anything as funny as “blind girl eyes”, “can hives look like scabies”, or “cheboygan chicken joe”. My Eureka! moment came after scrolling past 189 lines of networking, server, and web programming related terms. I found my first jewel at line 190.


    Salesforce SOAP API and PHP

    December 3, 2011 | Web Development

    Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of work integrating a Drupal content management system with Salesforce through it’s SOAP API. Along the way, I’ve come across many stumbling blocks in getting both systems to interact and simply play nice.

    Some of the features included extending Drupal’s authentication and authorization to happen between both systems, and building a front-end in Drupal that allows users to interact with and manipulate data residing on Salesforce.

    Enough of the small talk, let’s start with the basics and get a connection going to Salesforce using PHP, and run some cool functionality.

    PHP: Loading XML locally or externally

    November 27, 2011 | Web Development

    I came across this issue on Saturday, and I’m totally stumped. I’ll explain the issue and maybe someone can confirm that I’m not losing my mind.

    I’ve set up two web servers on a LAMP stack; one public facing and the other internal used for testing. The site gets data from Salesforce and uses their SOAP API. In the configuration file, I reference the username, password, and location of the WSDL file as a URL. It’s been working fine for the past few months, up until Saturday night. The error I receive is.

    PHP Fatal error:  SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL:
    Couldn't load from 'http://domain.com/soapclient/partner.wsdl.xml'
    Failed to load external entity "http://domain.com/soapclient/partner.wsdl.xml" in
    /var/www/soapclient/SforceBaseClient.php on line 57

    When Math and Money Messes with your Head

    November 21, 2011 | General

    My sister hit me up with this interesting question, and I felt compelled to share it with you. I’m wondering how many of you will get the right response or end up with a headache.

    You have no money, and while walking around the mall you see a shirt for $97.
    You borrow $50 from your mother, and another $50 from your father.
    $50 + $50 = $100

    You buy the shirt for $97, and now have $3 left over.
    $100 – $97 = $3

    You gave your mother $1, and your father $1, decreasing the amount you owe each to $49.
    $49 + $49 = $98

    But you still have your $1 left over. Where did the other $1 disappear to?
