Alright so I haven't kept up to blogging as much as I would have liked to but the past few days have been pretty hectic with the Olympics happening here in Vancouver. Yea, I'm sure by now most people will know that Vancouver is host to the 2010 Winter Olympic games. In the past few days I have gotten to take photos of Maelle Ricker, Alexandre Bilodeau, visited various areas of … Continue Reading »
I remember the first day that I signed up for a Flickr photo account, one of the free offers they gave to people signing up was a box of free Moo MiniCards, though at that time I had no use for business cards. What Are Moo MiniCards? Moo MiniCards are small business cards that you get to design and create. You can use either your photos from a service such as Flickr, … Continue Reading »
Alright over the past couple days (well today and yesterday) I've been tinkering around with a new layout here for Tyler Ingram dot Com. It's not an entirely new layout, but right off the bat you probably have noticed the various changes I implemented. Why Change the Layout? Some people fear change, I love change (well for the most part). I wanted a new layout that would give more emphasis on my … Continue Reading »
The past few hours I have been pretty geeky. I've been looking into Flickr's API (application programming interface) and how I can monkey around with it and PHP. What did I want to accomplish? At the beginning I didn't really have a goal, I wanted to see what I could do with it, how I can access my photos and from there I would figure out something fun to implement. Well … Continue Reading »
Recently I went in for some preventative surgery. As I mentioned a while back I had a Pilonidal Cyst that it seems I was disposition to have since I was an embryo. Even though it was taken care of previously, it still had the potential of coming back. This recently surgery is to help prevent that from happening. So I sit here at my computer with stitches in my backside, … Continue Reading »
Saturday the 3rd of October marked the second time I've attended a Barcamp here in Vancouver. What exactly is a Barcamp? Well it is an unconference. What is an unconference? From my observation there isn't really anything scheduled during the day and the first part of a Barcamp is for people to give a brief overview (within 30seconds) of what they would like to talk about and then their talk … Continue Reading »
Being an enthusiast of WordPress I try to attend as many WordPress orientated events that happen around Vancouver. This time around it is WordCamp Fraser Valley and scheduled to be held on August 22nd of this year. This I believe will be the second WordCamp to be held in the Fraser Valley and the second time I also will be attending it. Last year was the first time I actually … Continue Reading »
This post will serve two purposes today. The first is to write about out little adventure to Grey Rock in Deep Cove, the second to test out the lightbox portion of the Flickr Photo Album plugin for WordPress. I've been using the Flickr Photo Album plugin for WordPress for quite some time now, but mainly to allow me to easily integrate my Flickr photos into blog posts. A feature I have … Continue Reading »

I've been using Facebook for a while and I have seen them change the user interface (UI) numerous times. People hate it or they like it, but for me, the most recent change annoys me everyday and there seems to be no end. When Facebook changes something, we are all stuck with the change, no matter how many people complain about it, there seems to be no going back. I was … Continue Reading »
