It’s 2009. Time for an updated look to this log that I never post to. I’m also using that new spiffy HTML 5 doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html>I also just realized there were two addresses for the RSS feed. Hopefully you are subscribed to the correct one.
Columbus Startup Weekend was fantastic. Here is the project I am involved with: JoeMetric
Tables and spacer GIFs bad. CSS good.

I just ran into a nasty issue when uploading MP3 files with the CodeIgniter PHP framework. Apparently an MP3 can either be ‘audio/mpeg’ or ‘audio/mpg’. CodeIgniter is only set to accept ‘audio/mpeg’; OS X seems to use ‘audio/mpg’.
This can be fixed by editing the mimes.php file located in:
system/application/config/mimes.phpSearch for the line:
'mp3' => 'audio/mpeg'And replace it with this:
'mp3' => array('audio/mpeg', 'audio/mpg')My homeboys at meticulo have released Helperoo!
What is Helperoo you ask? Well, it’s a hosted email support desk with easy in mind. It’s simple, it’s light, and it’s fast. We think it’s especially perfect for all you 1-5 man shops.
Play with your vendor-specific runtimes. Don’t call me when you wake up one morning with a pink line in the round window and your BFF vendor won’t return your calls.
We don’t take security as seriously as we should at work; issues are handled when they come up. Recently a spam bot was abusing the contact form on our site. So we went out on the intraweb, searched on Google for CAPTCHA, and probably installed the first solution we came across.
However, I dislike the idea of CAPTCHA; images not accessible to everyone. So on our latest project, I used a simple logic field (1+1 = ?). I think this is a better solution, but not everyone agrees. Does anyone else have a better solution?
