Over the years we have jumped cell phone carriers mostly switching between Sprint and it’s MVNOs. For the past few years we have been on Ting and so far it’s a win for us. Ting allows you to pick between CDMA and GSM. With CDMA you are on
Learning about automated testing and implementing is great. Unfortunately some projects I work on are multi tenant, and each client has it’s own subdomain. I then have an “app” subdomain with separate routes on it for things like API, or switching tenants if you belong to multiple of them.
If you have ever moved a far distance there are ‘odd’ things that popup you did not expect. When we moved to Colorado the bugs were a lot less than in Michigan. Now that we are in Florida, the bugs have come back with a vengeance. The other day as
I was installing a Nest in the new house and the thing was only blowing out hot air even while on cool. I ended up calling an HVAC company and they came out and switched 2 wires. For some reason Nest has them switched on their wire guide or my
We found the floor plan we wanted and the location they were building it was great. It’s the wait time that is killer.

When is the app I am building ready for the world to see? There is always more cleanup, more features, blah blah blah to keep the development process going. Meanwhile at work, I am fighting off ‘cool features’ for the sake of of being ‘cool’.
I found this gal just randomly hanging out on our back deck.
With all these Shia LeBeouf videos being created I came across this video from Rob Cantor.
Late last year I had a recruiter contact me for a web developer position working at one of the major adult entertainment industry companies. Interesting I thought. Would I take the position if I got it, I don’t know. Would you? The salary was between $90k – $95k. Very tempting!
Finding a place to rent can be stressful. Growing up I heard in movies and from others about “slumlords”. These are basically landlords that let their properties go to waste while tenants are still renting them. When I first moved out of my parents house I was concerned about this.
Was composer not able to find the mcrypt PHP extension? When I developing on my local machine I use XAMPP because it is easy to setup. I also tend to use Laravel for a lot of projects as well. If you are using the same, when doing a composer update
I am always looking for better ways of deploying me code. In the past I have used Fabric to create a deployment process. Although I use git, I have never used it for deployments. With Fabric I copied my code to another folder, did any processing such as removing files,
When I was looking for a job I had applied to quite a few positions. Several lead to phone interviews, and a little less than that lead to in-person interviews. The place I landed at (company A), I had applied to a few weeks before hearing a response back. During
