  • From the mouths of babes

    Me: "It’s time to wake up."
    Evan, 6 years old, stumbles from bed, stomps down the hall: "Argh. Why does this happen every night‽"

  • Memory flush

    It’s never a good time to suddenly remember that you need to buy a new plunger.

  • Mental Me

    The stress is far too great today.

  • Cross-domain communication

    If I have an aspx site on one server, let’s call it foo.com and I have a php site on another server, let’s call it bar.com, and I want to use an iframe to include data from foo.com within the bar.com site, security for iframes prevents this correct?

    So, if I instead create a subdomain of foo.com, let’s call it bar.foo.com and use bar.foo.com for the aspx site, does that overcome the cross-domain security issue since both sites are now part of the foo.com domain or does the nature of bar.foo.com being a tertiary domain still create the security issue since bar.foo.com is technically different than foo.com?

  • How tired?

    So tire, I cannot even type a post…

  • To Live, To Love, To Learn, To Leave a Legacy

    I slowly explained, with long sentences and great clarity, "To Live, To Love, To Learn, To Leave a Legacy" to the six year old. He listened intently. Repeated my words. And questioned. But there was a definitive moment when his fuse clearly popped.

  • 3PO! 3PO! Shut down the…

    You know the garbage compactor scene in Star Wars? Yeah, today is like that.

  • The IT World is a Religious Place

    Information Technology work is religious. The work I do frequently requires faith and prayer and when things go wrong I end up in Hell.

  • WordPress Hooks, Actions and Filters – Modifying the Publish function

    I’m writing a child theme to twentyeleven and want to modify the administrative post "Publish" function to do some additional processing during the saving of a new post. Does anyone know if there is a hook, action or filter that will allow me to extend the Publish function?
