There’s no place like home.

Lately I have been noticing more and more websites eliminating the home link from their navigation all together. Is this where websites are headed? Has the user evolved to just know to click the logo to return home? I know that most tech savvy people wouldn't miss it, but what about everyone else. I would guess most people look to the main navigation to move about a website. Personally I don't think we are to the point where we can just remove the home link. I feel like if we just assume the use... read more!

Render Me This, Render Me That…

One commonality with modern editing software (Vegas on the PC, or Final Cut Pro on the Mac) is that they are hardware independent. Not so long ago, software came with it's own hardware card that would aid in the running of the software (often taking the processing burden away from main computer) and show layered effects in realtime. This, of course, made the whole package more expensive and developers soon went away from bundling expensive hardware and focused just on the code. Want to speed up ... read more!

php 6 - looking to the horizon

In reviewing articles from the net, it looks like some of the most major changes to come about in php 6 revolve around the removal of old deprecated and bad practice items such as magic_quotes, register globals, $HTTP_*_VARS, asp style tags and many other items. This comes as great news to me, I follow good practice in not using those items but have become weary of seeing bad practices used so much in the wild and will be happy to start to see them disappear. I know that php 6 will be quite far ... read more!

The DSLR for the agency that has everything.

If you think the $8000 price tag for the Nikon D3X is chump change I have the perfect camera for you. The soon to be released Mamiya DL33 Puts all other DSLS's to shame. With a $20,000 price tag (body only) this camera is not for the budget sensitive. What do you get for twenty thousand dollars? How about a 33 megapixel Aptus-II 7 Digital Back from Leaf. A 3.5-inch touchscreen, 16-bit capture, an ISO range of 50-800 (Only for the crispest of photos). So how large is RAW photo from a 33 megapixel... read more!

What is GD?

GD is a computer programming library used by many programmers to perform image manipulation/creation tasks. It is very commonly used in php for tasks such as resizing images or creating a CAPTCHA image ( a measure used to prove that you are a person and not a robot ). The letters in GD had at one point in time meant "gif draw", after some patent issues with the GIF image format and the fact that the GD library does much more than just process gif formatted images, the GD does not really official... read more!
