Do you use Flash in your design
No, Flash is not supported by many mobile devices and replaced by dynamic javascript. Flash is also not ideal for SEO, as it’s data is embedded, hence invisible to search engines.

ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
Getting the error as End User
If you’ve come across Firefox error code ssl_error_rx_record_too_long as a user, your options are limited because most problems resulting in this error are web server related.
The best course of action is to clear your browser’s cache and try again. Possibly try to use another browser and see if that solves it. The likely reason for it is that you may have visited that same site in the past before it had SSL enabled, and the old version is now cached in your browser.
If that still does not solve the problem, ensure you’re upgrading and ...
We could not complete your purchase – Fix
I guess you landed here because your Mac displayed the message We could not complete your purchase while trying to update your Mac. Most commonly the root cause is due to an authentication issue. Granted, Apple’s messaging could be a bit more specific, but here is a possible solution for fixing the update problem.
In a browser (Safari, Chrome …) head to Apple Account page. Click on Apple ID and password and login. Chances are that you’ll get some sort of warning about your device. Carefully confirm that it is you wanting to login. If you did not get any ...

Fix for Item can’t be moved to Trash because…
Deleting files on a Mac is one if the simplest tasks, or one would assume. Ever so often the error “Item can’t be moved to Trash because item can’t be deleted” shows up when attempting to move a file to the trash can.
The reason behind the message is that the file to be deleted is in use and the holding application won’t release it for moving. The easiest fix is ...
Is Agile Overhyped or Misused?
Over the past few years, agile has overtaken the development scene from being a buzzword to being implemented everywhere, or so it seems. Is anyone claiming not to be agile these days?
I believe the benefits of Agile development still stand. Enhanced visibility and adaptability, reduced risks and increased business value, if implemented properly. But the way it’s used in most teams today, it hardly meets any of these criteria.
In the ...
Fix the Patriot USB write protected issue
My Patriot USB Memory stick flash drive got stuck in write protected mode. The first glimpse that something was awry I got when using Disk Utility on my MacBook Air. All options were grayed out, except for verify disk. Running it resulted in a message letting me know that the disk needed repair. The repair process in turn gave me a result of Error: -69877: Couldn’t open device. Nice!

How do I Motivate my Team
Successfully motivate my team is an ongoing challenge, quite sophisticated yet rewarding. It’s like steering a ship toward its destination, keeping course without ever arriving. Motivating factors are based on two influencing environments. The existence of a comfortable, clean environment free of negative mental and physical impacts (foundation), and stimulating influences that strive for and enhance satisfaction and contentment (stimulation).
For example, how could we expect a team to be motivated if ...
Building a Team
This article is not about the usual subjects, like motivation, communication etc. What I’m talking about is consciously planning to build, improve and measure key metrics of a development team. Often times, teams get built over time with little awareness of their dynamic. “We’re swamped, we need a javascript developer”, or “For this project, we got to add another dba” and so it goes. Before we know it, the team has ...

Custom URL Parameter Rewrites in WordPress
Recently, I was building a custom search page in WordPress for a gift idea site, where users could select the occasion (Birthday, Christmas …), the recipient (Women, Girl …) and the maximum price of the gift. In addition, I wanted the URL to be nice and SEO friendly, without query parameters.
Now, creating nice URLs within the confines of what WordPress has to offer out of the box is really simple ...
