Good Mac Apps

Over the last week I’ve been noticing a few slowdowns on my computer so this weekend I decided to take inventory on all my Installed Apps and do a back up of all the data in prep for reformatting my HD. Every year I’ll do this, where I swip my computer blank sending it back to 0, and then re-installing all my apps and putting my files back on. ( this way I’ll always be sure that I’ve only got the things that I want on my computer )

So here is the list of apps I’ve decided to keep. Most of these I use on a fairly regular basis, but some are there more for connivence.

Here is a pdf if you want. Apps List

Web Wednesday :: Captain FTP

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Web Wednesday, but I received an email this morning from the Support team of the FTP Application, Captain FTP. About a month ago I submitted a ticket about their app and possible bug. Nothing to be concerned about, but I thought I’d drop them a line anyway.

They sent me a message saying, “Can you please let me know if this is still a problem in the [...] Read More

VisualComa Construction – Week 7

Week 7 -> FrameWork WrapUp / Functionality Check

This week I focused on a particular function I’ve been working on for a couple of months. Last Friday something clicked and I figured out what I was missing.

I now have an arbitrary Widget with about 30 options that will allow me to place any “Page” or set of Category “Posts” into a Widgetized area. Options include most basic loop items, with fields for standard WP customizations. There [...] Read More

Seven Oaks Park

In the last 3 months I probably spent half my life online typing odd code to make websites work so people can be social. Every now and then I get the energy to pack it in and head up to Seven Oaks Park in Nashville and throw some Disc Golf.

So far since I’ve been here in Tennessee, Seven Oaks Park is the best Nashville Disc around. You’ve got all types of holes to shoot. From [...] Read More

Harnold the Turtle

I was on my way to work this morning, just scooting along down the road. I usually dodge as much debris as I can being that I’m on the scooter. This morning I came across this little guy, I almost smashed him but swerved at the last minute.

I call him Harnold, I picked him up and put him in a nice patch of green bushes. I hope to see him again, but hopefully not in [...] Read More

Week 6 -> PSD Cut / FrameWork Stage 2

This weekend was a huge step for the general look and feel for this Theme. Where as last week I left everything at a very blank spot, this week has made a vast improvement on the visual aesthetics of the posting section, the sidebar and the loop.

Here is what I had last week. public.visualcoma.com and here is the final design comp.

The focus of this weekend was:

Post Area

VisualComa Construction – Week 5

Week 5 -> PSD Cut / FrameWork Stage 1

This weekend I took the comp you see below and worked it into my frame work. I kept the development to a minimum that I’ve listed below. So if your wondering why things may feel a little in shambles that is why. Technically the Theme is active but only have developed.

I Still feel like the color could use some more saturation, I think I’m loosing to much [...] Read More
