This weekend, I made an interesting (re)discovery. I was digging though some old emails and found an email with details about how an acquaintance and I were creating a centralized git workflow. I figured out how to keep my project in sync with yours. I use git on the command-line, but I imagine it should… Continue Reading →
If you add ‘–‘ to your git command, git will know not to process anything after the double hyphen as a command-line argument. This was useful to know for the situation I just found myself in. I had accidentally cloned a repo into a directory called “–force”. I had placed the –force argument in the… Continue Reading →
I encountered a rather obscure IE bug at work this week. After coding up a series of text inputs that enable/disable other radio buttons based on their values, I was dismayed to find out my javascript code wasn’t working in a test environment. I opened Internet Explorer’s F12 Developer Tools to check for any errors. Unfortunately, the javascript… Continue Reading →
Inside WordPress’s WYSIWYG editor, if you start a line of text, inside a code tag with a bad character, in my case, the ‘#’ character, the output gets screwed up. Here’s how to fix it. If anyone looked at my previous post in the first week or two after I posted it, you may have noticed… Continue Reading →

Nevertheless, it’s a great feeling, knowing that I can directly improve a great product that I actually use. And I gained a bit… Continue Reading →

Vagrant manages all of that business for me now! The TL;DR of this post is that you need to be sure… Continue Reading →
I’ve been working with a colleague on getting a logo designed for the game company he has recently started. The designer that was hired used a font called “Exo” in the logo. The source file was given to us in a .svg file. And in order to view the logo with the correct font, I… Continue Reading →
So I’m investigating an Eclipse error I’m getting on my dev laptop and need to search for a bit of text in a file that may be in a hidden file somewhere in my workspace. I don’t trust Eclipse’s global File search (Ctrl + H) to be thorough enough for my needs. I need to… Continue Reading →
I am not sure how long Github has offered their Pages service, but I only recently discovered it. And, as I have been trying to improve my workflow, I found the idea of deploying my site with a simple “git push” very enticing. I experimented briefly with Pages and decided to go with Github for… Continue Reading →
Any idea what it is?
