ShoutCast Web DJ Software

This is by far the coolest implementation of a web based DJ control solution for ShoutCast streams. I have spent probably 30 hours so far writing this app and think it is by far some of my best work (Backend wise) – the front end is kinda sketchy still. A video is worth a few million bytes so here it is – pardon the drunkenness. Beta Testers Sign Up Below Name Email Share... [Read more]

How To CodeIgniter, jQuery & JSON

I shot this screen for those who are looking for an extremely simple explanation and demonstration for sending and receiving data asynchronously via jQuery Post and JSON.  About two years ago I really struggled with this concept so I figure there are probably others who will find this information useful. I would have been extremely happy to find something like this when I was learning (and frustrated). Share... [Read more]

CodeIgniter – Getting Started

Today (June 23rd) at 8:00 PM I will be hosting a 1 1/2 hour DimDim meeting for anyone interested in getting started with CodeIgniter.  I am by no means a CodeIgniter “guru” but  I love sharing knowledge and feel that this could be a beneficial webinar to attend. Schedule: Part I – Basic Principles and Standards Part II – Open Q&A Once again this is a Basic introduction... [Read more]

!important is important!

I have been up all night working on this template for a local business and have been running into some major issues with IE6 (what else is new?).  I have used !important in the past but not as heavily as for this project, sure learned a lot. For those who don’t know – creating stylesheets that render identically in both Internet Explorer and Good browsers is a saught after talent.  I... [Read more]

Duty Free Kicks Ass

I have been in Denver Colorado for the past week at a natural health conference (I was the IT insurance in case something broke).  It turned out quite well, though I never got to see the rockies – a crying shame!  Anyway all was not lost, I was able to hit up the duty free in Niagara Falls late Wednesday evening for some wicked deals! I ended up walking away with a 40oz bottle of rum (with... [Read more]

Shiny New Cards

Thanks to Tony at The Printing Press for hooking me up with these new kick ass business cards – We bartered some FreePBX know-how and he definitely over delivered – I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for print media in the GTA! He shipped 1500 high quality gloss cards and I couldn’t be happier – once again, thanks Tony! Share and Enjoy:  Read More →

Bandwidth : Get It While It’s Hot

As most of you Cogeco subscribers know, Cogeco is implementing a new “Pay Per Gigabyte” plan for any cap overages – according to the DSLReport forums – this should be fully functional as of June 1st. So I have taken the initiative to give these crooks a run for their money and TAX their service like all hell. A few days back when I received my 100GB cap email, they said they... [Read more]

Finally – Google Adsense Is Paying Off

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for the support (especially #pbxinaflash).  My Google cheque has finally arrived – after almost a year we have broken the thresh-hold and it is all thanks to YOU!  Believe me – this cheque went to a very good cause (beer and groceries).

Japanese Brown Rice Tea

We visited our favourite sushi place last week to enjoy some amazingly fresh california rolls, squid, salmon and absolutely delicious tea.  I noticed their cabinet full of really neat pots, cups and other really neat japanese food paraphernalia - I had to buy something. After our meal I asked if they sold their tea to customers, she seemed somewhat confused but soon returned with a 1KG bag of tea... [Read more]

PHP Growl Relay

I think Growl is a pretty awesome little notification app, I use it for absolutely everything and thought I would cook up a simple way for anyone to relay growl messages to their nodes – even from remote events. What you need : A Local web server (with PHP of course) Remote machine must have curl (unless you are good with javascript) Download the class.growl.php from google code and toss it... [Read more]
