The new WizOneSolutions.com has launched!
I’m happy to announce the launch of the new design for WizOneSolutions.com.
After many months of anticipation, it’s here! There’s quite an interesting story behind this new design, too.
Around the end of summer last year, I asked my good friend Andrew Sepic over at Think Up! Design if he could help me create a better design [...]

Possible downtime June 15 8 PM-June 16 6 AM
I’m expecting the site to be down during this window of time – I’ll try to put up a maintenance page, but if I don’t get to it, then here’s your explanation.
Ironically, if you don’t visit the site before I post this message, it’ll mean nothing. So I’ll try to switch to the maintenance page.
A little bit about oDesk
So I’ve been working on oDesk, and I’ve been very pleased. This is a very brief post on that. I’ll try to write more in the future.
Let’s break it down – oDesk offers providers that “fit any budget,” and from a freelancer’s point of view that sounds something like, “oDesk lets certain providers offer laughably [...]

WizOne Solutions: Now based in the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County
We’ve moved! Previously based in the Berkeley, California area, I am now based out of the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles. Of course, I serve clients both locally and online, so this is not a major change – but I thought I’d let you know.
By the way, if you’re wondering why I don’t blog [...]
Developer musings – should I put them here or on a separate site?
Hi there – a question for you! Answer it in the comments.
I have lots of stuff I could potentially share and that I run into all the time. I’ve been holding off on blogging too much here because I’m not sure if it would fit the page.
I see on other developer’s sites though that they [...]
New site theme coming soon!

So stay tuned…it’ll be quite nice to look at.

VIM: Moving around windows made a little easier (and how to escape without Esc)
This is a quick post with some shortcuts I just implemented in my vimrc file that I just felt compelled to share with the world.
It answers the question, “Are you tired of hitting Ctrl-W to move around windows?” Then do I have the solution for you!
Pop these guys into your vimrc file:
nnoremap <S-C-h> <C-W>h
nnoremap <S-C-j> [...]

Code merging with VIM
So today I had the chance to learn about vimdiff, VIM’s mode for file comparison and merging. It was a lot better than I expected!
When I switched to using Ubuntu for my day-to-day local testing (because I need reliable Xdebug, and Windows Vista’s Apache-PHP module just wasn’t cutting it as far as Xdebug stability goes), [...]

Coding on phone; Vim pays off
Learning more Vim paid off the other day. I edited a couple files on a remote server using my T-Mobile G1 along with the ConnectBot program. The process was, of course, pretty simple.
Start ConnectBot on the G1.
Connect to the server.
cd to the directory containing the file I wanted to edit.
Type vim <name of file>
Edit as [...]
