First Apple Disappointment

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Tonight I have had my first Apple disappointment ever. I’ve been trying to create a ringtone for my iPhone using the ringtone generator in the new iTunes. I have been through all the help tutorials I can find online, but no matter what I can’t get it to make a ringtone.
Earlier today I thought it [...]

Building a Site for the iPhone

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

With all the craze and hype surrounding the new iPhone we’ve decided to undertake the seemingly daunting task of re-creating a Dogbark.com that works on the iPhone. I just picked up my iPhone this past Sunday, and though I love it, I have to say that re-creating a website for it can be quite a [...]

Soda Pop Coke, whatever you call it, drinking contest…

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

A few weeks ago, the office fridge was stocked with one 12-pack of each variety, dr. pepper and diet dr. pepper. Myself and Harry prefer the cancerous-causing diet beverage while Mr. Jaded, aka Adam (who is a huge fan of David Hasselhoff, by the way), prefers the caloric-giant regular dr. pepper. One thing is for [...]

Flock web browser

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

So, I’m giving Flock a shot. It’s a specialized build of Firefox, geared for social networking sites, and has some pretty interesting features. Right now, I have my Facebook and Twitter accounts set up, as well as a couple of blogs I run with Wordpress, and my Flickr account. All show up in the sidebar, [...]

CSS and Internet Explorer

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about the nuances of Internet Explorer and how it renders CSS. I’ve been using Internet Explorer through an x11 plugin on my mac to view the world in the eyes of Explorer. Since I’ve pretty much always been a mac guy I’ve never really taken that opportunity before. If [...]

Website Marketing Checklist

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I came across this article this morning while reading all of my website building blogs. It’s a short checklist of things that you can do to improve the visibility of your website. I think that a lot of these are really worth looking into if you aren’t getting the traffic that you desire. Hope this [...]

Noteworthy Websites and Blogs

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I’m always on the lookout for new sites/blogs that are both interesting but also informative to my personal and professional development. While I have a number of blogs and websites I visit on a daily basis, there is always room for a few more (and a few less of the current ones). Today, I found [...]

Webmaill Tip #17: Don’t compose lengthy emails in Webmail.

Friday, August 15th, 2008

When using webmail.dogbark.com, we advise that you not compose any email over 3 paragraphs (100 words or so) within webmail. The reason for this is that webmail will automatically sign you out after 10 minutes of inactivity (and typing an email does not constitute activity). So if you’re writing a really long email, chances are [...]
