Feedback

Tinsley — Mon, 11 May 2009 20:05:59 +0000

After the release of SimpleMail I immediately experienced a problem that I imagine is shared by many developers: lack of feedback. Though I greatly appreciate all of the comments, suggestions, and bug reports (especially the bug reports) I know that for every one person that experienced a problem and reported it, five people experienced a problem, uninstalled the plugin and never thought about it again. I found myself constantly worried about the bug reports I was not receiving, and in fact there were bugs that had existed since the original version that went unreported until recently. This was a Read More Related posts:

As I mentioned in a few previous posts, I am interested in finding tech writers and starting a group blog. The site is now up, though it is somewhat lacking in content (partially because I am still searching for writers). You can find information on how to apply to be a writer on the site: EverythingDev.com Read More Related posts:

Looking for Writers

Tinsley — Fri, 08 May 2009 02:28:07 +0000

I'm interested in starting a programming and development blog. Rather than going it alone as I am with this blog, I'd like to have a few writers working with me to generate new content. I will be providing the domain and hosting (I'm in the process of setting up the new site now). Requirements are as follows:

Strong writing and communication skills (in English)
Interest in web development, programming, or computer science
Able to post new content semi-regularly (I'm stressing new here, I'm not interested in copy and paste jobs)
Able to provide a sample

I Just Took a PHP Test…

Tinsley — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:00:15 +0000

So I was going through the process of signing up on a freelancers website, and the site offered various tests meant to prove proficiency in a given subject. I decided I'd give it a try so I took the PHP5 test. 30 minutes later I found out that I passed and did better than 66% of people that have taken the test. The only problem is that of the 40 questions, I can only think of one that was relevant to PHP programming. The remaining questions were completely obscure and pointless. You might think that I'm just upset about Read More Related posts:

Organic

I take no issue with cage free eggs or vegetables grown without exposure to pesticides, but I do take issue with the word organic when used to describe food.

"I can't eat that cheeseburger because it is not organic."

"Really!? Its not relating to or derived from or having properties characteristic of living organisms? To think that I went my whole life thinking beef was from cows." Read More No related posts.

Will Code For Food

A few months ago I quit my day job in favor of dedicating more of my time to school. Seeing as how after three months my cash reserves are all but depleted I've decided to offer my services to anyone in need (PHP, Java, SQL etc).

Adjusting the Curve

Tinsley — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 08:01:04 +0000

Every time I have an exam, I show up to class and place my scan tron and number 2 pencil on my desk, in plain sight. This is perfectly normal for exams that require a scan tron, but in those that don't it may cause people to run to the bookstore and then arrive once again ten minutes late, clearly exhausted.

I’m Not A Crazy Person…

Some people dream of buying a house so they can raise a family, buy furniture, decor and electronics, or just so they have a place they can call their own. When I think of buying a house only one thing comes to mind: Lawn Gnome Army. Read More No related posts.
