Why Reinvent the Wheel?
Posted by: Tix-R-Us at 10:45AM PST on April 9, 2009
I have a blog  that I host myself on a Debian Virtual Server running wordpress 2.7 with my own homegrown MU extension. I appreciate the GT offering me a community blog but I don't have time to maintain yet another one in the high style to which my blogs have been accustomed.   What I do like is in-links to my existing blog.   So I am including a widget that points to the latest posts on my own blog that I totally control.  Of course this is widgety javascriptey so there is no link love here.  But I'd be tickled if the titles of any of my blog posts inspired you enough to do an actual honest-to-goodness (OMG here it comes) Clickthrough!

Your faithful dork recently had to be hospitalized for surgery.  Everything went well and full recovery is expected, but I did get a midline incision that incapacitated my core until it heals. You use your core for EVERYTHING, so that nasty little side effect could not clear up too soon! [...]

Back at the Zend Framework… finally!
Posted by: Tix-R-Us at 10:34AM PST on March 13, 2009
Warning:  HARD CORE DORKAGE!!!! I hope beyond all the hope that I have obtained the book that will drag me over the learning curve for Zend Framework for real.  The book I am referring to, Zend Framework In Action by Allen, Lo & Brown, was meant to come out in September, but it finally [...]

Ultra Custom Twitter REAL Mosaic Poster
Posted by: Tix-R-Us at 10:13AM PST on March 2, 2009
In a recent blog post on the Twitter Mosaic Web App I showed an example from a twitter app that randomly tiles your follower avatars into a grid and then tries to sell you the design on shirts, mugs, etc. This is not a true mosaic. In a true mosaic [...]
