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.

Looking at your own posts and figuring out which fits where was a gruesome process. Thanks Patti! Luckily, some were easier to find, provided that you looked at your analytics data. I was shocked at the performance of some of the posts, and more surprisingly, how old networking articles still produce the most traffic on this rarely updated site.
I got yanked into this by Patti, and I personally think it’s her indirect way of saying, “Dude, you need to shake the dust off this site!”. So without further adieu, below are my seven (and then some) links. Apparently, there are rules, which can be found here: My 7 Links: The Rules.
This is an inspiring video on networking, but in a whole new light.
Freedom Box Project: Vision Statement
We live in a world where our use of the network is mediated by organizations that often do not have our best interests at heart. By building software that does not rely on a central service, we can regain control and privacy. By keeping our data in our homes, we gain useful legal protections over it. By giving back power to the users over their networks and machines, we are returning the Internet to its intended peer-to-peer architecture.
In order to bring about the new network order, it is paramount that it is easy to convert to it. The hardware it runs on must be cheap. The software it runs on must be easy to install and administrate by anybody. It must be easy to transition from existing services.
SEO (search engine optimization) is most possibly the key word on the tips of every marketers tongue. My understanding of it is that you position your content in such a way that search engines can better find you and analyze the effectiveness of your data. So, little things such as headings (and its various levels h1/h2/h3/h4), description and keywords all come into play.
I initially launched this blog after having an interesting conversation with a friend, Rob Jama, about resumes in general. He joked about the possibility of ditching resumes completely, and just having a business card that shows Google’s search box with your name in it. This would only work if
Recently, I was dealing with a rather dumb issue between various browsers and how they display/download PDF files. What was dumb was that one browser would display an error when the file originates from a CDN, while when locally available on the same server, no issues. Let’s not forget, visa versa for the other browser.
First thing I managed to do was reach out to the browser and CDN in question on twitter, hoping this was a known issue. With my luck, no go. So, let’s just force a file download and avoid the headache all in all. We’ll call this getfile.php.
Recently, I had to import two old forums into Drupal. One of the forums had its own tagging system, such as [B] and [U] for bold and underline. The thing about forum content is that everything is stored in the database. So, when a forum post is opened, you would see the [B] and [U] and it wouldn’t mean anything, unless you wrote a module that would make sense of it.
For PHP developers out there, it would be enough to simply implement a string search on pages before they get sent to the browser and have it converted to standard HTML code. What about tackling the problem at the source and convert all those tags at the source? I came across an interesting MySQL function that allows you to search for a string and replace all occurrences, thereby, avoiding the added overhead with a PHP function that would do this for you.
