With the success of the first swap, The Postcard Swap, I think that Swap-bot is ready for prime time. I have only come across two errors in Swap-bot so far and neither of them had an affect on the outcome of the swap. The first error occurred when I tried to send reminder emails automatically by [ READ MORE ]
I have recently started using del.icio.us on a regular basis and have come across a few really cool things on the web. Today I found an AJAX/PHP powered webmail application called RoundCube. I have installed it at http://webmail.gunnerweb.net/. Anyone that wants to use it is more than welcome to. All you need is your account [ READ MORE ]
Rachel and I have been busy working on her new online store, ilovecutethings.com, for a little over a week and it finally launched tonight. Needless to say, my part in this project was creating the e-commerce site, not the inventory. I briefly gave some thought to using a packaged e-commerce site, but didn’t like the feel [ READ MORE ]

Swap-bot is up! What is Swap-bot? Well, check out the site for all the answers, but basically it facilitates swaps (have you read about them on Rachel’s site?). I created it and FINALLY got it up. The first swap we are doing, for testing purposes, will be a postcard swap. Essentially, all you have to [ READ MORE ]
I start my new job on Monday and had a few projects I wanted to work on before then. The first thing I needed to do was complete my move to a new server for all the sites I host. My new host, Site5 was able to host Ruby on Rails sites and I had [ READ MORE ]
I’ve been listening to Pandora a lot lately and had a question about the stations I created. When I’m listening to a station, and rate it, do those rating affect the station if other people listen to it? And this post successfully concludes what I was testing, no more junk posts for a little while [ READ MORE ]
