There’s a New Section in Town

Posted: November 11, 2009 | Category: Site News

Some of you may have noticed a new item in the navigation of the site. I added a new section to track my little projects, which should not be confused with freelance/design projects. This is where I’m going to house some downloadable stuff like my jQuery Syntax Mode for Coda and the Form Maker Plugin for Coda. Actually, right now those are the only things in there, but I have some other ideas (for Coda again).

The new section will allow me to consolidate all those items and offer a single link to access the latest versions of those projects, while still providing links to the old versions. So if you’ve come here looking for one of those items you’ll want to head over to the Projects section and get what you need there.

Sorry for the Errors

Posted: October 07, 2009 | Category: Site News

Just wanted to apologize to anyone who has come to the site in the last few days to find errors or (even worse) missing Coda plugin downloads. The errors should be corrected and the downloads should now work. I had some issues with the latest Expression Engine update (my fault not theirs). Regardless, the issues should be fixed now. Please try the downloads again. Thanks.

Multiple iTunes Libraries, One Source

Posted: July 28, 2009 | Category: Tech | Comments: 3

When I bought my Mac Pro, the old Mini became a designated Home Theater PC (HTPC). Ever since then I have struggled to figure out how to maintain the libraries in multiple locations. The Mini didn’t have a large drive (only 80 GB) so I focused on using it for movies. The Pro had 250GB so it housed the music, but only some videos since I don’t watch movies on the computer screen anymore. This naturally meant that the two had some overlap but a lot of differences. The goal was always to buy a larger drive and house everything in one location and, if possible, keep the libraries in sync.

I recently bought a 1.5TB hard drive for the Pro and am in the process of setting up my media center. Here is the solution that I have come up with so far. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good and it works well.

Facebookin’ It

Posted: July 16, 2009 | Category: Randomness | Comments: 1

Well, I resisted this as long as I could, but I finally broke down and joined Facebook. No real reason other than I didn’t see much appeal in the whole social networking thing. I was on LinkedIn and could understand the utility in that, but Facebook, MySpace, and the rest seemed like a duplication of effort to me. I have this site and don’t update it as often as I should, how can I find the time to post stuff to Facebook as well.

I guess the clincher was the option to track down some old friends that I’ve lost touch with and because my sister was constantly pestering me to join (which now that I have she has yet to friend me <hmmmph>). So if your interested my profile is here: http://www.facebook.com/garner.kory. I plan to use it mostly to connect with old friends and such so please don’t be offended if I don’t add every invite I get.

Form Maker Plugin for Coda

Posted: June 22, 2009 | Category: Web Design | Comments: 11

I have moved this to a new section so that all future updates can be tracked together. The new section is here. You will need to visit the new section to download the files. This post will remain, but if you link to this page, please update your link to the new seciton. Thanks.

One of the things I hate doing is creating forms. Sadly, most webapps use them pretty heavily so not doing them isn’t really an option. What I can do is create a plug-in for Coda to do all the heavy lifting for me. Without further foreshadowing, I give you…the Form Maker Plug-in for Coda.
