When I first started writing this post, I thought it would amount to a few bullet points of what I’ve learned over the past 2 years as a small business owner. In the end, it’s turned out to be a rather long post, but I have summarized everything in a bullet list for those who […]
Over at Nevis Technology, I’ve been a part of an exciting project in conjunction with Financial Symmetry. We’ve been developing a client-facing product that brings their client’s financial plan online and easily accessible to view, make changes to, or respond to advisor recommendations. It’s a completely custom product that connects with Financial Symmetry‘s internal system […]
As I get older, I’m really noticing that I’m not as excited anymore. What I mean is when I used to think of an idea, or talk with a friend about an idea, I’d get to thinking about it, programming it, etc, right away. Ashley and I were talking about some really cool idea and […]
NOTE: Sorry about the blurry video. I don’t have a premium Vimeo account for the HD option and YouTube denied this video for some reason. You can click Vimeo in the lower right of the video to go to the Vimeo video page and it’s clearer. I was on Twitter the other day and […]
RIP 9/9/2015 Sometime in late 2005 / early 2006, I adopted Owen and Taby. At the time I was working at Ridgemont Animal Hospital and their owners had abandoned them. It started as a weekend of boarding them, and it turned into 3 months. Soon after, I had the opportunity to take them home, and […]
Installing soft close on cabinets is much easier than drawers – and less thought beforehand too. There are hinges with built in soft close – though they are a little more expensive. We installed these Blumotion Soft Close Adapter for Cabinets in our kitchen, as well as our bathroom vanities. Our kitchens have a traditional hinge […]
Kitchens are a huge selling point for a house, so nice features create so much value. The good thing is retrofitting your kitchen for soft close drawers is much cheaper than getting new ones, and the parts are very inexpensive! Even though drawers are harder than the cabinets, it still only took about 2 hours to do all […]
Every year, Ashley and I go to houses listed in the Parade of Homes in Raleigh and areas surrounding us. It’s a great way to get ideas of features to add to our current home, colors of counter tops, floors, or walls, or lights, or get ideas for things we want in our next house […]
UPDATED script 4/14/2017. Updates include using mysqli. Tested on PHP 7.0.15 on Ubuntu 16.04LTS. S3FixExistingMedia.php (don’t use this until you’ve read the post or the comments in the script!). I’ve used the WP Offload S3 plugin (under a previous name) before and it works well – as long as you set it up before you begin […]
For 10 years (or more), I’ve unrealistically had it in my mind that I wanted to retire at 30. I knew it wouldn’t be a possibility – and as I’ve grown wiser – I like that better than “older” =) – I feel like that’s not what I’d want anyway. I really enjoy programming and […]
