Reading Time: 2 minutes A friend of mine asked me to come over and take a look at his WiFi situation. With him being a different flavor of nerd than I, I was happy to oblige. Everything went fine right up until we were trying to get his Samsung Blu-Ray player on his WiFi. And then I discovered something

Reading Time: 4 minutes Folks that work with me know that I’m not a super-awesome programmer; I’m a front-end guy who dables with programs. I’m way more comfortable telling you what went wrong with your CSS in Internet Explorer 8 than what happened with your Razor template in Tridion 2011. Razor Mediator for Tridion is a blend of C#

Reading Time: 4 minutes So, I was helping out a fellow coworker with a JavaScript issue where we were trying to figure out if there was a property somewhere that could tell us what the referring window was. While he was using ‘the googles’, I just pulled up my console window, typed in document, and started browsing through the

Reading Time: 4 minutes Not too long ago, I worked with Alex Klock on creating a Tridion GUI extension for a client. The GUI extension was for a document embedding service provided by Crocodoc1.  Once I finished, I had to provide a training document for it. Soon after, the client wanted documentation on some other things. And then more

Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve said before and I’ll say again that contenteditable is one of the coolest attributes you can apply to an element. This lil’ gem originates from Microsoft, of all places, and has been there since IE5.5.  Well, the other browsers caught on a while back, and others, including myself, have demonstrated some cool techniques with

Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m a child of the 80’s. Every Saturday morning, between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, and GI-Joe I’d catch at least two or three Public Service Announcements from NBC where they’d teach me about bullying or doing my homework, and end it with, “The More You Know.” The last few Tridion 2011 projects I’ve had

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s probably not the most exciting thing that you could read about, but it’s definitely one of the cooler ones. If you haven’t heard of Crocodoc, you really should check it out.  Crocodoc is an API that converts PDF and Microsoft Office Documents to HTML5. If that still doesn’t quite ring clear, allow me to

Reading Time: 7 minutes In  a current project, we have a website that’s in both French and English which we’re transferring into Tridion 2011,  using Razor Mediator. This is not my first bilingual website, and it definitely isn’t my first Razor project, either. However, it’s the first time I’ve had both at the same time. So what I’d like

Reading Time: 2 minutes So, yesterday while I was on a call, demoing something to a client, there was a Skype conversation going on in the other window. And though I explained I wouldn’t be able to respond to what was going on in that group chat, a certain coworker decides to get a little snarky. So here we

Reading Time: < 1 minute I just want to publicly say, “congratulations” to my fellow coworker and code-monkey, and Coded Weapon,  Alex Klock. Alex was recently given the SDL Tridion MVP Award. This is a well-earned award and Alex should be very proud to have it. The thing is, Alex is what you’d call a digital inventor. Some people go to
