Quieting the lizard brain

Posted under distractions, projects, tips - Sep 3rd, 09 - No Comments

This video isn’t the typical ClearDev blog post.  Has nothing to do with a specific project, a server upgrade, a client site, or company activity.  However, I found it to be really important to our work in general, and it may help you with that nagging project you’ve had in the back of your head.  [...]

Another one live – this one designed by The Company Standard

Posted under news, projects, site of the week - Aug 28th, 09 - No Comments

We just moved this over to the live server yesterday and we like the way it came out!  This was designed by Melissa Gorman over at The Company Standard, and we coded it up.  In the coming weeks we’ll build in a shopping cart and possibly a CMS, but we had to get it live [...]

A Helping Hand

Posted under projects, site of the week - Jul 8th, 09 - No Comments

Illustrator Kelly Light knew exactly what she wanted her site to look like.  She even created the Photoshop files to supply all of the art, copy, and layout.  Putting it on the web is where we came in!  Using her files, we were able to slice and dice the images and put the site together [...]

A Quick Refresh

Posted under projects, site of the week - Jun 24th, 09 - No Comments

We just gave JeffreyKrames.com a quick refresh.  It’s all in Wordpress with a number of custom page templates at work.  Good luck on the new business, Jeffrey!

ClearDev in the NY Times! (kinda)

Posted under news, projects - Jun 10th, 09 - No Comments

The New York Times ran an article today covering the 9-11 Memorial Foundation’s next steps, and we played a pretty big roll behind the scenes!
The development of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center is far enough along that officials are now asking the victims’ next of kin to confirm [...]

New site live today…

Posted under projects, site of the week, wordpress - May 1st, 09 - No Comments

We just flipped the switch on a new site for Decker*Farrell.  In the STM publishing world, these two guys are pretty legendary.  To put the site together we used Wordpress as the backbone and then just tweaked away on a template from Brian Gardner.  Fast, clean, and affordable development.  Plus, it’s hosted on the ClearDev [...]

Filemaker truncating fields to one character in MySQL

Posted under projects, tips - Jan 4th, 09 - No Comments

We’ve been working on a database project here and a key component is hooking FileMaker into MySQL.  That way the client will be able to do all those cool desktop type things like easily create labels, do custom layouts, mail merges, etc. and still have a sweet web-based application.
Using the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver, I [...]

Worlds collide!

Posted under databases, projects - Oct 24th, 08 - No Comments

Judging from the number of MySQL databases created on the CD servers, databases are driving just about all of our websites.  From blogs to collecting visitor info, there’s a lot of information floating around in “the cloud.”  And it’s really powerful stuff.  The part I could never get my head around is that if you can [...]

Congratulations to Jeffrey Krames

Posted under books, projects - Oct 20th, 08 - No Comments

Author, editor, & publisher Jeffrey Krames just released his latest book last week, Inside Drucker’s Brain (published by Penguin).  I used to work with him years ago in the “book biz” and was lucky enough to help him put together his website a few months ago, http://jeffreykrames.com.
I really like the way he used the blog [...]

So you want to start your own blog?

Posted under applications, projects, tips - Aug 17th, 07 - No Comments

Well, you came to the right place! After you set up your hosting account with us, and use the “Installatron” to easily setup and configure your own WordPress blog, you’ll be live! But that’s when the work begins…
I’ve been blogging here (http://cleardev.com/cdblog) and there (http://mbwpicks.com) for a few months now and
1. I think [...]
