Resources

I do a lot of stuff, these are the subject areas that I have published about. That's not to say tht I won't add more material on the other subjects I like.

Programming

Hotel Demo - A funky example how to use image swapouts to produce a funky hotel map.

Card XML - We propose to give websites an improved ability to show themselves off. We introduce the "Card XML" Initiative. To join, you need to put a "card.xml" file into the web root of your site. When a user or an automated web client comes to your site, they can look for either:

  • A static XML file, named "card.xml"
  • A PHP created XML file, named "cardxml.php"
  • Or an ASP created XML file, named "cardxml.asp"

That file will contain information on the site, who is connected with that site and the street address and other contract information needed to people in contact with one another. At the very bottom of the XML file is a section called "associates" these are links to other websites who hopefully have adopted the Card XML initiative and in turn will link to other sites.

The Card XML initiative will allow a near-peer-to-peer NP2P system to be put in place. While best centralized, desktop applications can crawl through linked Card XML sites, gather information and deposit that information in their own central database.

Web portals can build applications to read information from Card XML sites. Because the site owner control their own Card XML information, they can maintain their own current details.
Below, we have an online application so that you can create your own Card XML file. We also have the application source code available for download.

Upper Case Regular Expression - This is a handy little regular expression that turns plain old 'happy days' into 'Happy Days.'

Rosetta Stone For Code - A table of comparisons from one lanuage to another.

Environment Variables - Figure out what environmental variables are available.

Cooking

The Noodle Bowl - I like noodles. Heck! Everyone likes noodles. I offer one recipe with two options. Trust me, your belly will thank you!

The Big Mike! - Do you like burgers but hate the idea of some vengegul weirdo paid only $5/hr. to handle your food? Break out from the burger bingo and make your own burger.

The Recipe Vault - Thousands of Recipes available for you to peruse and use.

Debt (and Getting Out of It)

I have a number of pieces on how to move away from a precarious debt situation.
I will be updating the list as frequently as time allows
