Using Chart JS in FileMaker Pro 15’s Web Viewer

I’m doing a project in FileMaker. FileMaker 15. I think the last time I used FMP seriously was 2010-ish- version 11 had just come out. It’s still the same program but there have been some interesting changes. It’s also weird now because I have an entirely different set of experiences with technology that I didn’t […]

NGINX Redirect Tutorial

We recently assigned a few custom domains to rampages. That ended up causing two complications. The first was that some people were using https associated URLs previously (news to me).

Scraping with Google Spreadsheets Across Instagram, Flickr, YouTube etc.

I remain kind of amazed with how many little tricks can be done with Google Sheets. After seeing Alan’s post today, I wonder how much of the data I could pull (assuming we had the right user names and knew the services . . . really the harder part) just using Google Sheets. Turns out […]

Discography to WordPress

flickr photo shared by Thomas Hawk under a Creative Commons ( BY-NC ) license This is in response to something Adam Croom wrote two(?) days ago. I thought it’d be an interesting proof of concept and would let me figure out some things with a purpose. I also like to have a few projects going […]

Post Documents for Student Comments

Students writing short papers and posting them for comments from other students is a fairly common pattern among VCU faculty. It’s a nice entry point because it doesn’t require any radical rethinking but still starts to expand the audience for the work, has possibilities around peer review, and is a possible gateway to writing on […]
