This is a handy statement for redirecting all requests from a sub-folder to the root of the site. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have originally built a drupal site in a subdirectory "/drupal". Then, let's say that some users used the ckFinder image uploader to upload files. Perhaps your designer used some references in the css (and or theme) to /drupal/image. Well, to save yourself from headaches, and buy some time while fixing the url's within the site, use this statement:

RewriteRule ^subdir/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Sweet, sweet magic.

Sharing Facebook content seems easy, and for the most part it is. If you're developing a web asset that is going to be shared on Facebook, you want to take advantage of the open graph, and insert Facebook open graph meta tags onto your page; this way, you can specify the proper title, thumbnail, url, description, etc: http://davidwalsh.name/facebook-meta-tags - which is used when sharing url via Facebook.

I've never coded on punchcards, nor relied on books for helping me code on projects; however, I would like to take a moment and appreciate those circumstances where many programmers have probably found themselves (perhaps, regretfully so). I usually manage projects, clients, and focus my time and energy on business development tasks. It was not that long ago that I actually had to code..like, every day. It was a great time and an important part of the progression of Nerdy Dragon, because it set our course of action.

I always have to look this up, so here it is.

1. visit http://developers.facebook.com
2. create a new app
3. to add it to a business page, find the app id and visit: http://www.facebook.com/add.php?api_key=__APP_ID__&pages

Easy, right?

Some days, you're hit with an expected task. This was the case today, when one of our servers was under attack.

We provide web hosting, and a variety of websites on a leased, dedicated server. With those websites, we have various user accounts that have access to those sites.

Each time a user account is created, and access is provided - it opens the door to an attacker.
Good security practices are critical.

Limit access to only those who need it

I had the good fortune of meeting with two of the best and brightest in Boise today. During the meeting, a quote was thrown out by Tara Russell of Create Common Good - "same same but different".

Like a lot of what was said, I was compelled to write it down and digest it.

Drupal is an outstanding content management system, and it's beauty is it's flexibility.

A pure drupal installation downloaded from www.drupal.org is minimalistic, and has certain nuances that aren't ideal. To account for that, Drupal has a beautiful module system/api.

One handy module, is admin role: http://drupal.org/project/adminrole

dmoz.org is the most authoritative directory on the web, and a link from that directory to your website is one of the most influential single links there is.

We've applied several times to be included, and for some reason - we weren't. After all, it's an open directory and relies on volunteers to review and include the requests to be included.

Either there was no-one to review our links, they were too busy, or they just didn't want us in there.

We are proud to be throwing our hat into the iPhone Development Arena. Due to popular demand for iPhone app development and a limited supply of iPhone app developers in Boise; we've teamed up with a large development outfit to collaborate on projects.

The iPhone platform and iOS has exploded in popularity. Sometimes a simple mobile css configuration on a website is enough, and other times a native iPhone app is needed. We'll help you to determine which method is best for you, and then will help to build and launch your app.
