  • Use Bootswatch themes with Museum Core to “skin” your site

    I did a writeup on Museum Themes on how to use Bootstrap 3 themes with Museum Core (which this site uses) to get new “skins” for the Core theme. Note: I wouldn’t have even thought of this if it wasn’t for Shawn Wildermuth‘s Bootstrap 3 course on Pluralsight. If you want to check it out, I…

    Brought to you by Sublpress

    This post is being written in Sublime Text thanks to a new package by Nicolas Dienstbier — who has a much cooler way of shortening his name than I do (what could I do? rnlds? Actually…) — called Sublpress. The premise of Sublpress is simple — use Sublime to manage your WordPress site(s). You can…

  • WordPress + Koding == Awesome

    I just discovered that you can install a live WP site on Koding.  Here’s how I set mine up: WordPress on Koding | jazzsequence on Koding.

  • In-Place Windows 7 RC downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium

    a few months ago, i posted a link to a hack that revealed how to do an in-place “upgrade” (although it’s really a downgrade) from Windows 7 RC-1 to a lesser version of Windows 7.  as the nag alerts saying i need to backup my stuff and reinstall have started cropping up, i decided to…

  • wordpress shortcodes kick ass (or: shortcodes, an affiliate marketer’s best friend)

    this one will make the internet marketing peeps smile… let’s say you have some kind of text or phrase that you use a lot.  it could be anything, but let’s — for the sake of argument, and for showing the full power of this code — assume that the text or phrase includes a link.…

  • my wordle looks like an ad for thinktank-studios.com

    wired ran a blog post on what everyone in the tech biz is thinking (namely the iphone).  it’s called wordle and what it does is take a body of text, or a blog, or something, and creates a tag cloud (like what i have on the right) based on the word usage.  a  pretty one…

  • gr + avatar != grave avatars OR growling avatars OR robot

    so it’s been bugging me for a while.  why is it that in the comments of my posts, there are avatars (or generic, blank avatars), but no way to use/change/update/upload your avatar?  i even poked around in the user preferences in the blog several times trying to find where “upload avatar” was located, to no…

  • project: Image Slideshow — method: RubyOnRails

    i’ve decided to learn RubyOnRails.  Rails is a programming language/framework that comes with some prepackaged “programming shortcuts” which allow developers to write programs much faster.  it’s more of a “do this” and the app actually does that sort of thing as opposed to writing lines and lines of code for weeks to make it “do…
