FLIR v2.0b2 coming soon…

May 28th, 2009

I just wanted to take a moment to give everyone an update about Facelift.  I have been super busy lately with trying to drum up business and haven’t had a spare moment to give to anything else.

Some bugs have been reported in v2.0 b1 (thanks everyone!) and I hope to have them fixed and a new beta out very soon.  I’m planning on sometime in the next week.

I apologize to people who have been posting to the forums!  I haven’t had much time to respond to all your posts but I assure you I will soon.

Right now I’ve got this new economy partially figured out…

  1. ???
  2. ???
  3. Profit

CacheMogul – Disk caching in PHP made simple

May 5th, 2009

I’ve finally gotten around to formerly putting many of my projects online.  This is the first part in a series of many, detailing those projects.

Up until recently, this project didn’t have a name.  This is basically a more polished version of the caching that Facelift uses.

When accepting uploads from a community of users, you need to store that data someplace.  You can’t store it in a database unless you want to end up pulling your hair out a few months down the line when you are trying to backup an 8GB database regularly. So what do you do?

LOL…

May 4th, 2009

Nate Anderson over at arstechnica wrote a hilarious peace on Apple marketing today… at least, I thought it was hilarious.

Steve Jobs is widely reputed to have Buddhist leanings; how the man pairs “nonattachment” with “running Apple” is a mystery we may never plumb.

I don’t get you Apple lovers.  Do you hate consumerism ironically?  How does that all work?

Update:  The comments are just as good as the article!  Take a look at this one from masterkenobi:

The amazing hypocracy that is Apple. The products they produce do not irk me as much as the way they try to push sales, and the rabid fanbase it produces. The straight up lies from the Mac vs. PC which, though admittedly effective, created a false sense of superioriy from Apple users. Hence, we now have a growing army of douchebags with white headphones that follow Justin Long’s word like it is gospel.

Ah…. brand loyalty.. you gotta love it and wonder how the hell it happens at the same time.

Check out my new portfolio!

May 4th, 2009

Well, I finally got around to it.  I’ve created my portfolio and released it to the world.  You can check it out at http://cory.mawhorter.net/!

I looked at a lot of other portfolios and read a lot about them and I think that the finished product is pretty straightforward. This article from Smashing Magazine was especially helpful.

Let me know what you think.  Do you think this new portfolio will bring me millions of dollars?
