Leopard PHP with magento woes

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Yeah, another woe post. haha. I tried to install Magento Commerce onto my Leopard system (Apple OS 10.5.x) just now, and it complained about not having "pdo_mysql", "gd", and "mcrypt". Oh, how I hate having to deal with compiling extensions and plugins! Now, I know why I don't use a VPS ...

TangoCMS / PHP-XML installation woes

Monday, November 17th, 2008

I thought I'd give TangoCMS a try this weekend. I have used CodeIgniter and Kohana, and so I figured the TangoCMS which is built on a MVC framework was worth trying. I don't know if there will ever be as many Zula developers as there are Kohana developers, so that ...

Barcamp San Diego - learning about improving memory

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

breath deeply - hand on chest and stomach, only the stomach should rise eating - avoid snacks sleeping - if you can't get regular nights sleep, try power napping before sleeping, review information during the day before going to sleep - done by Da Vinci ... sounds like what I learned in psychology ...

Wii Fit - “You’ve got amazing ab strength”

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

I finished up the strength exercises today. I started with the jackknife be/c I did so poorly on that last time. The last time I played, I only touched the board once or twice during the exercise, and that was a 20 point dud. So, in my first try today, ...

Overly Fit - is it possible?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Sure, it's possible, but I don't imagine it's going to happen to me in a true fitness sense. It will, and has already begun, in a funky web site sort of way. Enter http://overlyfit.com, my Wii Fit related site. Knowing that I can throw together a site on a whim is a ...

You have great posture!

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

So, my BMI is higher than it should be. That's not news to me. Heh, I've set a goal of getting it down to the "normal" level of 25. I've given myself 2 months to do it. I think it said I need to lose 3 pounds every two weeks. ...

Wii Fit - Day 1

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

I had planned on waking up early to be at Target at 8am, but sleeping an extra 2 hours was more appealing. Victor IM'd me that he got one at Circuit City on the way to work. When I checked CC, they showed that they had stock, but he was ...

OpenID and database store problems

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

grrr, the file store works all the time, but when I switch to the database store, I consistently get a "OpenID authentication failed: Bad signature" error. I checked the database, and the `openid_associations` table has an entry, but the `openid_nonces` table doesn't. I checked my account activity at myvidoop.com and it ...

Testing Zenbe

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

It didn't take long in my test of zenbe to notice something I don't like. The browser back button always takes you back to the login page! The site is built with so much ajax, that I wasn't surprised that this happened, however that doesn't make things better. Maybe they ...
