As If

Short post, lot on my plate right now. Maybe? switching from Phoge. I love everything about this software but sometimes things just break and I have no clue how to fix them. I may not maintain repo compatibility (unlikely). will break things but what can you do. making sure to back EVERYTHing up because god knows I will forget something. rip

More Web Ramblings

This post was originally written as a discussion question response for my Master’s Degree. The prompt was: What are some of the challenges with “Cross Browser Compatibility”? How do you deal with this problem? Discuss. Thanks for reading! I would argue that cross browser compatibility is neither a challenge or a problem, rather it comes with the territory of being a web developer. The web is an open standard and should remain that way....

The Future of the Web

Disclaimer: I know I sound bit like an elitist in this, but I know that I’m the stick in the mud and should be the one changing with the times. I’m just upset that the old web and old computing in general is dead and I never got a chance to experience it. The web has undergone a seismic shift over the years, evolving from a collection of static HTML pages to a dynamic interactive platform that’s deeply integrated into our daily lives....

WWDC 2023 - Part 3

Wow, I am finally getting around to writing this blogpost. Took me long enough.

Long story short about the whole plane fiasco: my intended route of travel was BWI -> DFW && DFW -> SJC....

WWDC 2023 - Part 2

Short post hopefully (lol no), but my flight got diverted AGAIN from Dallas to Houston. I’m still on the plane after sitting roughly 5 hours in Oklahoma. This is just really peachy. I am having a good time. I don’t know what to do. I’ve got to make it to Dallas by 0853 tomorrow morning so I can get on my final flight to San Jose. I can honestly say I did not anticipate this turning into a modern remake of Trains, Planes, and Automobiles....

WWDC 2023 - Part 1

Woo! WWDC time, baby. Supposedly a very exciting WWDC, just based on the rumored tech alone. The most exciting part, for me, is that I get to go! I’ve watched just about every WWDC live stream since they announced OS X Mavericks, which was when I was in like 6th(?) grade? I don’t remember, to be honest. How I managed to watch a live stream in the middle of the day is beyond me, but I do remember watching it in Mrs....

Armed and Ready

Well, I finally set up Phorge and plan to move all my stuff into it. This really is a very nifty piece of software that can seemingly do everything I want. Every time I open it up and poke more into it, I find a new feature waiting to be discovered. Here are my plans and goals for this website: Keep it actually running Time and time again I stand something up, forget about it, and then inevitable it rots and falls over....
