Atomic Context at FMDiSC

I presented my Atomic Context slides today in L.A. for the mother of all FileMaker developer groups, FMDiSC.

You can get the presentation as a PDF file (2MB), PowerPoint slide show (2MB), or QuickTime Movie with narration (appx 30 minutes and 140MB).

(I made the video a downloadable MOV file, rather than a Google Video or YouTube video, because it needs high resolution to be able to read the slides.)

Problems with Showtime Anytime via Charter

Image
Showtime Anytime vs HBO Go I am a recent Charter cable TV subscriber (although I have been a Charter internet subscriber for over a decade). I subscribe to HBO and Cinemax, which gives me the HBO Go and Max Go on-demand options, both which work flawlessly for me. I also subscribe to Showtime, which gives me the Showtime Anytime on-demand option. This has been nothing but a headache so far. Unlike the two Go apps, Showtime Anytime requires that you register before your Charter login will give you access to their premium content. This in and of itself is annoying, but what makes it far worse is that in all the places where they tell you about this registration requirement, they provide no hyperlink to aid you in figuring out where/what exactly they are asking for, and so far, I have never been able to login. The login process, in short (detailed screenshots below), involves two different Showtime web sites (sho.com and showtimeanytime.com) which seem to be very loosely int

Session materials from php|tek 2008

Today I presented The Ins and Outs of FileMaker/PHP Hybrid Solutions at php|tek in Chicago. Here are the slides from the talk in ppt format and in pdf format . The demo solution files can be found in this zip archive . It includes the FileMaker and PHP files plus a readme file and a pdf of my slides. Enjoy. NOTE: Full access username is "Admin" and password is blank on the downloadable demo FileMaker files. If you want to look at a hosted version of the demo solution, you can connect to the Mac Mini in my hallway closet (be merciful!): FileMaker Pro client "staff login" fmnet:/shn.serveftp.net/PUSD_OE_Main Test credentials pclark:pclark Web browser "user login" http://shn.serveftp.net Create your own user credentials

Charter could be worse

Say what you like about Charter's borderline hostile customer service, price gouging, etc, but if there's one thing that can make a man overlook a few personality flaws, it's raw speed. Yes, I hate Charter's secret $10/month punishment fee on broadband for non-cable-subscribers, but where we live (the foothill north of LA it's going to be a long time before we see fiber reaching us) there's been nothing that can come close to coaxial broadband, and Charter is the only game in town. But as luck would have it, Charter is not content to be the hands down winner in the speed department. They recently started promoting significantly faster packages at lower prices to their existing customers (me). Last month I upgraded to their " Max " offering (nominal 20Mbps Down/2Mbps Up) which turns out to be cheaper than what I was paying for the previous 10Mpbs offering, and double the nominal speed. Okay, well as we all know from the School of Hard Knocks, nominal sp
