Validating reCaptcha with jQuery and AJAX

This example is well out of date. Please don’t use it as is until I have a chance to update it. I recently did some work for one of my clients that involved securing some simple web forms. These forms were to request literature or request a call back, simple stuff. Incidentally they were getting […]

New Blog

Most of my posts over the past few months have been of a technical nature and it’s time for this blog to officially find it’s place. From this point forward I will be focusing my writing efforts on PHP, jQuery, or whatever else I am working with at the time. My new personal writing will […]

Use Synergy To Clean Up Your Desk

Synergy is one of those DotCom era buzzwords that you still occasionally hear from an out of touch executive giving a bad presentation. Synergy also happens to be a piece of software that has significantly contributed to the clean up of my desk here at work.

It’s Been Grand, Dear Rose
