Submitted by AlanReiley on Wed, 2006-01-25 14:30.So, you may be asking...Who are these guys behind this cool looking site?

More specifically about our location, we can be found in Thornton, Colorado, which is about 25 minutes east of Boulder and 15 minutes north of Denver.
Pragmattica.net provides the following services:
Web Design - We create web sites from scratch as well as re-design websites. Our portfolio includes sites designed for artists, sports magazines, and outdoor enthusiast online meeting places. Our approach to web design is simplicity before fluff. Fluff is cool and fluff is neat, but it's slow to load, is distracting to your valuable customer, and takes away from your intended message, products, or services. So we focus on creating valuable relevant content for your customers and viewers so that they will stay on your site longer and will come back much more often to visit your site again.
Web Development, PHP Programming - Not only do we design professional amazing-looking websites, but we also write the code behind many websites that require functionality such as shopping carts, invoicing systems, and even dating sites. PHP is the primary programming language we use in our sites that we develop. We also utilize the database language MySQL which works so perfectly and seamlessly with PHP, anything is possible with these two together! An example of a web site we designed and Developed with PHP and MySQL is OutsideBySide.com, a website that serves as the only online meeting place for outdoor enthusiasts. Their web site can be found at http://www.outsidebyside.com
So, this is who we are and what we do in a nutshell, believe it or not (the nutshell part may be pushing it.)

iPhone Unlocked/Jailbroken - Application cannot be verified error after 2.1 upgrade.
Submitted by AlanReiley on Tue, 2008-09-16 13:49.This from a colleague of mine:
I am writing this because I searched the Internet through and through for an answer and had no luck. What I ran into was that once I upgraded my jailbroken and unlocked iPhone to 2.1 firmware, I couldn't get any of my apps to install any longer. The solution I found was surprising.
Step to reproduce the error.
- I installed iTunes 8
- I upgraded my iPhone 1st Gen's firmware to 2.1 through iTunes.
- I then used the usual tool to unlock and jailbreak my iPhone again.
- I copied over the updated 2.1 mobileinstallation file and chmodded it as usual.(continued)
PHP Error - "Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent" - A Solution
PHP Error - Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent - Finally, a solution!
This error seems to be a very common one and the only solution usually offered across the Internet is this:
- Make sure to check for and remove any spaces or carriage returns directly before or after your opening and closing php tags.
This problem persisted for me one time and after trying the above recommended solution with no success, I was still scratching my head as to what else may be the problem.
Then, I started thinking about how different code editors can add extra code and spaces into your file without your knowledge so I thought I would investigate that some more. I already was using a pure-text editor, so I knew that it wasn't injecting garbage code into my existing code like a WYSIWYG editor may do. So, I started poking around my settings and preferences and found something that I had overlooked many times before in my search... The files could be saved in different encoding formats, such as UTF-8. Depending on the server configuration where the files live, this setting can have a huge impact when it comes to sensitive functions such as creating a session or setting a session variable.
On a whim, I decided to change the default setting of UTF-8 to ANSI and Lo and Behold, it miraculously started working again.
So, I offer this solution to those who have tried everything else to correct the headers slready sent error:
- Change the encoding type/format to ANSI (or UTF-8, UNICODE, etc.), then save the file to the server again and reload the page once more. This worked for me when nothing else would.
I hope this has been helpful for some if you out there. If you ever need someone to do some PHP coding for you or someone you know, I would appreciate the referral.
Take care,
Alan
Excited about new Drupal CMS Book
Good evening everyone! I am all smiles tonight because my new book was delivered today from Amazon.com. This is the new book on creating Content Management Systems using Drupal, which is my preferred CMS System to use for site design and creation.
The full title of the book is "Building Online Communities with Drupal, phpBB, and WordPress." It's an amazingly well written book that not only addresses the advanced to intermediate designers, but it also does well at communicating to the beginners, too.
What I found most exciting and interesting about the Drupal section of this book is that it will walk you through, step-by-step mind you, and recommends to you what extra modules you should install and how they can be used and how they will benefit you. This is KEY, because when you try to follow the "Online Drupal Handbook", which is just a collection of some very generic instruction pages, geared toward the advanced programmer, that really will leave your head spinning, for those of us who didn't major in Computer Science in college. Also, after trying to follow this Online Drupal Handbook, which is really more of a reference guide, you are left saying "Okay, what do I do now?? I have it running...amazingly. So what can I do with it?"
