Month: August 2012

So, we have a ton of share links all over our various domains at work. And much of our domain structure is based on users have subdomains (example: JohnCongdon.herbalhub.com).

All of a sudden, the sharer.php seemed to stop working. Some browsers stayed white, Chrome showed a grey error message with a 500: internal server error.

It took me a long time to track down the problem. I tried so many different things, but in the end, it was the CASE of the subdomain. 🙁 Changing it to johncongdon.herbalhub.com solved the issue. So strange, undocumented, and frustrating.

I hope this helps someone down the road.

Running a user group was not in my thoughts prior to 2011. I joined Orlando PHP Dec 2010, but there was an hour commute. Then Daytona PHP started back up, and I was thrilled. Except they had 1 meeting and fell apart. 🙁

I planned on starting Daytona PHP on my own, but due to waiting for the OK from my then employer to use their conference room and then deciding to move to California, I put that idea to rest.

I started looking for a PHP Group in San Diego and was surprised to see that one did not exist. It became my goal to start it up (well start it up again, there used to be one). I had everything in place before I even moved.

Running a user group has to be one of the most satisfying experiences I have had in a long time. The people are great, and I have been very lucky to find members that want to be part of my team and co-organize. I was lucky to find a host that would provide space and pizza for the group.

We have had 3 meetups so far, and there have been a few regulars, which tells me something is going right. 🙂

After spending some time doing a lot of research, I settled on ordering the Motorola S10-HD.  I read some great reviews, some not so great as well.  We’ll see and I will post once I have them in hand.
