jkendall@ventura:~$ uname -a
Linux ventura 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

83 exit
70 clear
58 cd
47 ls
44 ps
35 svn
32 tail
32 jgrep
23 kill
11 sshdev

Image Upload Issues with Internet Explorer and image/pjpeg

I'm working on a project that uses Zend_Gdata, specifically Zend_Gdata_Photos, to manage photos in Google's Picasa Web Albums.

While I could upload photos to Picasa without issue, my business partner John couldn't upload any photos at all.

IEs4Linux Blank Screen Bug and Installation Issues

Mail Notification 5.0 with SSL in Ubuntu

The Problem

We recently began using SSL to connect to IMAP at work. Prior to switching to SSL I had been using the excellent Mail Notification to let me know if I had any messages in my inbox. As soon as we switched over to SSL, Mail Notification quit alerting me to the presence of new email.

Welcome to jeremykendall.net

Thanks for visiting the personal site of Jeremy Kendall, web developer and entrepreneur. I hate sites that are "Under Construction" and have always felt that you should build content and flesh out your project in a development environment before going live.
