Cicero's was one of our first clients.

Both versions were handcoded with a lot of css and php.

We also did the design, digital photography, hosting, mailing lists a calendar cgi and live broadcasts.

Please remember that stylesheets didn't do all the things they do now and very expensive digital cameras were shit. :)

NextCloud JW Tue, 10/04/2022 - 01:58

I've been running a NextCloud instance for a few months now.

I'm really digging it.

It backs/syncs up notes, files, pictures and bookmarks.

It also has chat, kanban, invoices, etc...

It works with my Android Phone and a couple Macs.

It's nice to have the redundancy and ability to work locally.

This all started because Google stopped pushing my phone backup down to my desktop.

Thanks, Google.

An Open Cover Letter JW Mon, 10/03/2022 - 19:15

To you it may concern,

I am applying for the job you posted.

In order to expedite this process, here are my constraints.

Conceptually and practically I believe I understand what I applied for.

I consider myself a generalist and web builder (production artist).
Developer leans more to "programming from scratch" and I am more hack than writer.

However, I have been doing "Full Stack", since I started over 20 years ago.
FullStack: DNS, Web, Mail, eCommerce
My sites have always been optimized for different platforms, so I haven't used apps.

I recently did a crash course on Full Stack as it is now and ok.
It seems a lot like Flash to me, but it's still all about the schema.
I could work on an existing project, but probably not write from scratch.

I started out with Filemaker, Lasso a Merchant Account and PayPal.
Graduated to hand-coding SQL when PHP was released. (yep)
After literally trying all the different CMSs, I ended up on Drupal.

Drupal is what I've built on for 20 years, through all the painful changes/versions.
It's always been able to fill the need and I've never needed anything else.

Most jobs seem to be looking for WordPress.
I recently did a few installations of Wordpress.
It's smooth, can be managed without CLI and has a lot of modules.
(also free on my very expensive former rackspace now liquidweb grandfathered cloudsites)
I can handle doing these sites for a paycheck.
It's open source and the PHP is straightforward.

My wife (breadwinner) works at City Hall and does not drive.
