I currently have an iPad 2 (yes, 2). It was bought somewhere around June 2011 for a former co-worker, then conveyed to me the following year after said co-worker retired. It’s a 64 GB, wi-fi only model. For those who may not recall, the iPad 2 features Apple A5 (which […]
For our final application recode from ColdFusion to PHP, we hit on needing to do some custom form elements. We’d already done custom form view helpers to implement Bootstrap design (which I’ll cover in-depth as either a separate series or as part of the An Eclectic World Recode series). This, […]

Really, I do plan to blog more than just my goal updates! Just struggling to find time. I am planning to do a series of post on extending Zend Framework 2 view helpers, particularly for forms, to implement Bootstrap nicely. I also want to do a post (or maybe multiple […]
The financials continue to trot along on plan nicely, other than the Ting bill being slightly higher than expected (more calls and texts than usual pushed those to the medium levels). Still, my first bill was cheaper than it used to be on T-Mobile even though I’m still on the T-Mobile […]
Every year I set goals for myself across various areas of my personal life as targets to try to accomplish during the year, be they big or small. 2016 is no exception, so it’s time to set out my goals for this year!
