  • WordPress Development Workflow

    When I work with WordPress, I am still a ruby coder in a PHP environment. I spent several years doing PHP only and have watched the language develop nicely, but still like to focus on Concept/Design, CSS3, Ruby and JavaScript when I’m doing web development work. In the hope that someone might benefit from my…

  • WordPress Theme Development

    I’ve started to get much more serious about WordPress themes. For me that means making them from scratch instead of modifying someone else’s theme. Traditionally, I just purchased a template and modified it. Now I’m starting to work with good designers and working from scratch.

  • Workout Tracking Solution

    I love to exercise. It gives me an excellent chance to relax and preserve my overall goal of maximizing my physical strategic margin, or keeping maximum function as long as I can. (I want to be able to wrestle with my grandkids as long as I can.) I also love data. I love to track…

  • Your key with fingerprint … is not authorized to access heroku with Ubuntu

    This error was pretty hard to solve. I emailed heroku support and they recommended: “https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-accounts”:https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-accounts bq. For git commands to work git needs to use the ssh key associated with that account. It’s probably choosing a key associated with a different account which is causing these permissions errors. You can use a ~/.ssh/config file to…

  • Mongoid counter_cache with has_and_belongs_to_many

    If I have two Mongoid models joined by a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, Users and Groups. I need to quickly and efficiently sort by the most popular groups which really should be done with a counter_cache. However, counter_caches are implemented in rails by setting a callback to update the counter cache every time a child model is…
