I've had an additional blog to help people become better speakers called Afterwit.com. This is dedicated to all things that go into making a better speaker. As a very active Toastmaster and something I'm passionate about, I'm always on the lookout for good resources. I've just recently posting there again. Check it out.

I participated in the foursquare hackathon over the weekend. My project is called Everything is cool. The idea behind my project is that most people when they hear of something going on in your area,, whether it be something weather related, or an accident, all they really want know is where you are and that you are okay.
My app let’s you do that in the quickest way possible. Using the Foursquare API, once you sign in it grabs the nearest location to you. From there you can just hit a button, and an email or text will be sent to your contact list with two pieces of information: Where you are and that everything is cool. Here is a link to the demo

The first thing we noticed was a drop in traffic. Then other symptoms that seemed unrelated at the time were also being reported like search not working. it wasn't until we got a notice from Google Webmaster that we realized we'd been hacked. Again.
The reality
After taking the site down for the second time in two weeks, it dawned on me, if we are to continue we’d better learn to fail.
It’s simple, a website with our set -up running a popular content management system on a public facing website might be compromised. It could happen for a variety reasons both in and out of our control. The important thing then is getting the site back to a point where it is safe as soon as possible while being 99% sure that whatever compromised the site in the first place has been removed.

I posted my first project on GitHub. It’s a very simply Day/Night theme switcher built on jQuery based on the client time. This is not a new idea by any stretch of the imagination, something I thought was cooll. I’ve wanted to try GitHub for a while and this seemed like a good first step to try it out. As for the switcher, I tend to work on projects that are proprietary or not viable as an open source project; I thought this was a good opportunity to finally build this for tobiaswright.com, which I should implement soon. Anyway, enjoy.
