Book Review: The Innovator’s DNA

The research piece behind this book might be the next thing I read, as I’m intrigued by the academic rigor applied. The reveal and living examples of the five skills — questioning, networking, experimenting, observing and associating — are tangible and approachable given their articulation through well-known and highly visible entrepreneurs running innovative companies. There’s much to be gleaned by looking at the way these people behave and, even through simple emulation, enhancing one’s own skills. My only real disappointment with the book is its limited approach to practical, daily application for those not yet at the top of the (translate)

On Working Remotely (Telecommuting)

I've been wanting to share my tips for being productive while working from home full time for a while now, but never got around to writing them all out. As luck would have it, I ran across an article that covers almost everything... I've had the good fortune to spend the last year-plus working at CounterMarch, which is to say working from home. We don't have an office to which I could commute if I wanted to -- but that's ok, because I don't. I've also been fortunate enough to have a few jobs that allowed me occasional telecommuting privileges (translate)

Enable Advanced Reboot Options on Cyanogenmod

For a few months now I've noticed that the option to reboot into recovery has been missing from my cyanogenmod rom'd android phone.  I'm running the latest nightlies and not being able to quickly reboot into recovery is the epitome of a first world problem.  Be that as it may I still wanted the feature back so I finally spent a few minutes googling for the solution. enable developer options.  These used to be in the normal settings screen for the phone but they are hidden now. go to about phone scroll to the bottom find the "build number" field (translate)

PhoneGap Online/Offline Tip

A few months ago I wrote a blog post that talked about "robust" PhoneGap applications. Basically it was a look at the types of things you should consider to make your PhoneGap application more of an app and less of a wrapped web page.One of the main topics of that blog post was about handling connection status. PhoneGap gives you access to the type of connection the device has as well as events that let you respond to online and offline states. These are important features that (most likely) every single PhoneGap app should be using. I want to point (translate)

Tip of the Week: Enabling Event Caching

An important piece of a well-performing application that can scale under load is caching. This can (and should) be implemented at multiple levels. CacheBox is an enterprise cache API and aggregator that can be used stand-alone and comes bundled with the ColdBox framework. ColdBox has some nice hooks to allow you to utilize CacheBox in several ways with very little work and Event Caching is one of those ways. Event Caching gives you the ability to cache the result of any event in your application so that subsequent requests will bypass all the processing in your handlers, views, and layouts, (translate)

Tip of the Week: Editing Content with CKEditor

When working on large pages or blog entries it can be difficult to see much of the document at once. Dealing with scroll bars inside of scroll bars can also be challenge. Don't forget that CKEditor has a fullscreen mode. On the top toolbar, the second button from the left looks like 4 diagonal arrows pointing away from each other. Clicking this is maximize the editor windows to take the full window while you are editing. To return to the normal view, simply click the button again. Sometimes you may also need to have specific markup tags in your content (translate)
