I just noticed that the live feed from this blog to my brochure site at mistercameron.com was broken. The code I wrote to parse the rss data was throwing an error because the link to http://iamcam.wordpress.com/feed no longer resolved. Huh. The folks at WordPress must have changed something in their .htaccess file recently because adding [...]


After much work and anticipation, the Environmental Lights redesign has launched. I’ve effectively been the dev project lead (not project manager) for this site (via 212Interactive) for the last year – a great experience. The goal for this redesign was to clean up some of the design and make the site easier for customers to [...]


The Flood website redesign has finally launched. On the back-end is the upcoming revealCMS. There are still a few bugs here and there that I want to iron-out before I make it a 1.0 release, but it’s getting there. Overall it’s been a very stable release. The only hiccups we’ve really had to date are [...]


I recently read an article over at A List Apart, called Frameworks for Designers. It got me thinking. Actually no it didn’t. The idea was so brilliantly obvious! And sometimes we even do it (such as using blank CSS templates), but not quite like how Jeff Croft describes the process.
From a developer’s point of view [...]


I’ve been thinking about the things PHP needs to remain relevant. I don’t mean to say that it is becoming irrelevant, but as many people are becoming wooed by Ruby on Rails, the way PHP is done is becoming more and more … tiresome.

One of the latest tees from ThinkGeek is probably one of my favorites so far. White text on a black shirt says “I Never Finish Anyth”. Product page can be found here.
You gotta admit this is pretty funny – especially if you’re somebody like me with a lot of interests, but never the time to [...]


There’s some news last night about the first Mac OS X “virus” in the wild. First of all, it’s NOT a virus. It’s a Trojan horse, which requires the user to execute the program him/herself. It’s low-risk and probably won’t spread beyond the few people who’ve already been infected. Good news is that it appears [...]


Blogger is nice and pretty, and somewhat easy to use, but it’s really not that great. After a few short days on the service I’m already switching to WordPress (here) for the moment, and probably soon to switch to my own hosted version of WP in coming weeks.


Like so many others attending ApacheCon 2005, I’ve been inspired to begin blogging some of my web programming experience, so expect to see short explanations of my ideas, and probably several snippets of conceptual code. I’ve spent some time on the forums over at PHPBuilder from time to time as I develop for work, but [...]
