[Wordpress] – Update image links when moving site

Posted by Tony under Developers Corner

I needed to move a customer’s domain to a new location and that meant updating the image links, since wordpress uses absolute URLs.  Fortunately there is an easy fix for this, MySQL to the rescue!

A letter from an atheist

Posted by Tony under Biblical

This was a letter Ray Comfort (many know him from the Way of The Master series with Kirk Cameron) received from an atheist, read it and meditate on it.  Do you fit into the category of what this atheist is saying?

“You are really convinced that you’ve got all the answers. You’ve really got yourself tricked into believing that you’re 100% right. Well, let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? If you’re right, as you say you are, and you believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak with me, you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation, into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your ‘loving’ god created, yet you stand by and do nothing.If you believed one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unchangeable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness. That’s equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes you walk blindly directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You’re just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that ‘walk’ signal will shine your way across the road.

Think about it. Imagine the horrors Hell must have in store if the Bible is true. You’re just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you’re right then you’re an uncaring, unemotional and purely selfish (expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as love and caring.”

Were we meant to be vegetarians?

Posted by Tony under Biblical

Now in context of today’s study, I am a meat eater, I love my steak and potatoes.  I am in no way advocating a society without meat, I am merely examining the scriptures and learning something about our earliest ancestors in the process.  With that Let’s begin:

[JQuery] Remove one select option based on a different select option

Posted by Tony under Developers Corner

JQuery is simply amazing. I am really impressed with this javascript framework. My previous framework of choice was Scriptaculous and I was happy with it, but it always seemed limiting. Since switching to JQuery over about 6 months ago I have been pleasantly surprised. For example, I had to create a function on a select to remove a specific option from a different select based on the first selects selected option.

[Wordpress] redefining the default calendar

Posted by Tony under Developers Corner

So I had a customer that needed a very interesting change in their default calendar.  It’s really two parts and I’ll show you how I overcame both.  Normally I would write a plugin myself, but being that the customer is trying to stick to a budget I decided to find one, unfortunately it only did half the job.

We need to get back to praising God!

Posted by Tony under Biblical

We should all Praise God every day. We thank Him for what He gives and does for us, but do we Praise Him? What is praise?

Praise is when we are genuinely joyful for something that has been done, either for us or by someone else. When our children do something that genuinely makes us happy, even if it is not for us, we praise them because we think they deserve it. When you do a good job at work and your supervisor praises you, do you think you deserve that? Why should you deserve it, you get paid to do your best.

First day working for myself

Posted by Tony under IDM stuff

What a whirlwind day!  It’s been exciting coming into the office knowing that this will be my new permanent environment.  Our employees were happy to see me and understand the great strengths that I bring to our humble group.  We have a very strong core group each with our own unique strengths.  I am so pleased with the employees that Chris has hired and the job he has done at managing the company prior to me coming on-board full-time.  I’m still feeling a bit new around here as everyone runs around doing their daily tasks and I’m standing around a lot asking, “What can I do, how can I help?”.

Breaking up is so hard to do…

Posted by Tony under Mindless Musings

I never realized how much it would effect me to finally put in my resignation from my current job.  We never seem to think about the relationships we’ve formed with our co-workers over the course of our tenure with whatever company.  I’m finding out that saying goodbye is an extremely difficult thing to do, more so than I had imagined.  In fact I never thought it would be difficult, I mean it’s not like I’m saying goodbye forever, right?  When you start saying your goodbyes you begin analyzing the relationships you had with your co-workers and all the memories, good and bad.
