Coworking

Monday, 10 December 2007
A while ago, I had the idea of starting a business where you could rent a "day-office" to get your work done if you get tired of working from home or from a coffee shop. People are evidently already doing it. Write Comment (0 Comments)

Make your Joomla! site accessible, profitable, and unstoppable

Friday, 07 December 2007

Three new books on Joomla! have been recently released by Packt. Joomla! Accessibility by Joshue O Connor will guide you through concepts and practical considerations when designing an accessible website in Joomla!. Tom Canavan (of JoomlaJabber fame) and Brandon Dawson join forces in Joomla! Cash, a book showing how to generate revenue through your Joomla! site. Finally, James Kennard has released the long awaited Mastering Joomla! 1.5 Extension and Framework Development. This volume contains a comprehensive reference of the Joomla! 1.5 framework. If you enjoyed my extension development book and want to learn even more, this new book is for you!

Joomla! GHOP and Bug Squashing

Thursday, 29 November 2007

In case you didn't hear elsewhere, Joomla! is having a "Pizza, Bugs, and Fun" (PBF) event sponsored by PICNet and Google. Sign up now! If the NYC, DC, and SF Bay areas are not convenient for you, you'll still be able to join in on the IRC channel.

Also, Joomla! recently announced their entry into the brand-new Google Highly Open Participation Contest. Tasks are open to all high school aged students who want to contribute to the Joomla! project. I was asked to be a mentor on this project and gladly accepted :) See you on the forums...

So glad I moved away from Maryland!

Tuesday, 20 November 2007
To the delight of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Maryland decided to tax computer services. Thank you Maryland! We will enjoy the wave of talent you are pushing to our side of the river. Write Comment (0 Comments)

Congestion is good

Friday, 16 November 2007

According to the Sydney Morning Herald. Why?

Cities, unlike hearts, are not improved by zero congestion. Pretty much the whole of Australia has zero congestion (unless you count the flies). Cities are designed to concentrate - or congest - human energy. They are less about moving through than being there; they thrive on bustle, busy-ness and friction, creative and otherwise.

The article also recognizes the "walkers vs. drivers" false dichotomy:

Think, for example, of the proposal to retime street crossings to give priority to pedestrians. Such ideas have been discussed and squabbled over in Sydney for decades. The killer is that every second given to the pedestrian is a second taken from traffic and, much as we might wish to see "cars" as the opposite of "people", any slowing of traffic will be bemoaned as a worsening of already intolerable "congestion".

What stairways and sidewalks have in common

Saturday, 10 November 2007
The DC PHP Conference was held this past week at George Washington University, specifically in this building. Our main conference room was on the third floor, but our breakout rooms were split between the first and fourth floors for the first day. While I was walking up to the fourth floor, it suddenly dawned on me that this was a perfect example of what I'm talking about when I say I'm a "sidewalk advocate." Write Comment (0 Comments)

About Me
A crunchy conservative computer programmer (open-source and paid) facinated by traditional neighborhood design (sidewalks are good, but cars are not bad). Homeschooled all the way through high school, yet decidedly in support of public education. Enjoys cooking at home and eating in unpretentious restaurants. Loves not only having his cake, but also eating it � la mode.
