Richards Blog PHP, food and life

I have been looking for a decent shared folder system for a while, I even paid for a .mac subscription just for the idrive and for personal stuff it works great but for sharing it pretty much sucks and basically just uses a webdav system which can be slow and problematic.

What was I looking for in such a system?

1. The ability to sync folders across multiple systems
2. The ability to access these folders on and OFFLINE ( I will go into why that is so important later)
3. The ability to share folders with multiple people

So if you haven't figured it out yet a good burger needs a certain amount of fat otherwise it tends to not stick together, be drive and just not turn out right. A lot of people suggest at least 15-20% fat for a good burger.

If your going to have fat in your burger why not make sure the fat your using provides and extra kick of flavor.

2 pounds extremely lean ground beef ( 3-5% )
1 pound jimmy dean hot sausage
2 teaspoon McCormick's salt free steak seasoning
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Started work at Mashery last week and although I have only been there a couple days but I have to say its the most exciting company I have worked with in a long time.

No spending weeks getting familiar with things, there system is built on top of the solar framework which I have played around with so I was able to jump right into the middle of it and get some things done my first few days there which really feels great.

I hope that I can continue this trend and help them push bug fixes and features out the door on a consistent basis.

For those few that do check my blog out from time to time, I am looking for a couple of PHP web developers in the Seattle (office in renton highlands) area to help with a couple projects.

All the standard crap, you know familiar with PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, blah blah blah you have seen it before.

I am open to any applicants including any students looking to build up some industry exp and need a summer job.

Email a resume and some links to any work you have done to richard [at] phpjack.com

As I mentioned in the prior post I am pretty much a "Jack of all Trades" when it comes to website development. I have done it all from the ground up, hardware, os, apache/mail/mysql, and finally php programming so when I decided to give consulting full time another shot (last time I got hired on full time and dropped the consulting) the name "PHPJack" seemed extremely fitting.

I have left my position at BrokerBin.com part of this change involves moving back to Seattle to be closer to family and friends out there.

The other part of this change is taking some time off from the "7am-5pm if I am lucky" daily grind of being a System Admin/Programmer/Office Support/Handling any and all technical related tasks to spend the next year with my family and watching my 2 year old grow up.

Going to the PHP Quebec Conference next month, should be interesting.

Just wondering if there are any others out there that would be interested in getting together once and a while to discuss PHP and various other related technologies.

Right now I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to the nearest php group.

If your interested please give me a holler through the feedback.

What do these 3, 3 letter words mean?

One big mess in the PHP community!!

The problem is the people against the CLA are thinking with emotion and not rational thought. The main argument? CLA's are worthless and hold no legal ground....

You know what I say to that? WHO CARES!!! If a stupid signed piece of paper gets the developers from major databases providing more direct assistance, support and debugging for PHP database drivers then it doesn't matter if the piece of paper is legal or not.

If you have a single drive Centos 5.1 will not install until you go into the BIOS and set it up to use RAID mode.. for some reason in IDE mode it pukes loading the ata_piix drivers.

It also would only install in text mode, it didn't like the 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS DVI/VGA that was on the system it seems, it failed to setup X so I had to download the nvidia driver and install that before I could get a gui up and running
