Leo of Zen Habits (one of my favorite blogs) recently posted asking readers for tips on working from home. I left the following comments on his blog: Bad TV. Yep, that’s the secret. If you watch good TV, you will turn around from your desk and watch. Same with good music… you will pay attention...
I'm glad to announce that the Graffiti migrator will be included with Graffiti beta 2. Thanks to everyone for all of your help and feedback. Beta 2 should be out sometime this week, worst case early next week. The first round will support CS2007 DB connection, Wordpress and BlogML. The amount of testing...
My recent post gathered a lot of attention in the comments for the Graffiti migrator utility I've been working on. I've received a lot of great feedback and have a new version in need of testing. What's different 1) This new version supports Wordpress in addition to the CS2007 Database import. 2) Previously...
After lots of work, we have finally released the 'private' beta of Graffiti. If you don't know already, Graffiti is a simple CMS (content made simple) that is unlike any other. It is extremely easy to use and installs in minutes (copy/paste). So much for 'private' beta - get it now at http://graffiticms...
Oh Javascript... you can't be intuitive can you? I want to see if a function exists and then call it - if(decrementComments) decrementComments(); Wrong. if(typeof decrementComments == 'function') decrementComments(); Right.

A year from now for some reason, I need to get all of my electric bills. This becomes a major PITA because some documents are...
My blog has moved! You can now find me at http://ndepth.net - which I am proud to say is running on Graffiti . I plan on adding other sections as I have time so "Blog" wont be the only category. If you haven't signed up for the Graffiti Beta, do it now. Right now. :) Jayme...
OK... so some of these tools/ideas don't matter to most folks... but I sure would love them. Nothing sucks worse than having code you do not need. I absolutely hate it. Here are a few tools I say someone (me?) should write: 1) CSS cleaner. Far too often I have left-over CSS classes that are not used...
I have a side project I've been working on for quite awhile now. I wasn't happy with the available invoicing applications online, even though they claim simplicity and ease of use. So I launched Meiraware Business . A simple application that allows you to enter products and services, customers, invoice...
This morning was the deadline for the CS 2007 Theming Extravaganza . I decided to go track #2, which was the site-level theme. For the design, I had a few ideas swimming around but ultimately settled with a vista-ish look. After a few hours, I was finally happy the borders, colors, customization options...
