Hey, I’m Chris!
I love my wife and 5 kids, my consulting opportunities, and my life in general. I love to solve problems and usually like to find ways to do it with Technology. My hobbies include programming and learning about self development (and attempting to improve myself every day). Because lifestyle design is a passion of mine I also love to help other people unlock their true potential. If you are interested in what I am working on right now, you can see it on my Now page.
My small business consulting & web design company is Polished Stone, LLC.
Hey Friend! Welcome to my ramblings.

Well I’m slowly making progress on this site. Last weekend (I’m just getting some time to post this now…) I created a way to add albums to my site. This has given me the advantage of being able to have more pictures divided into their perspective albums. This isn’t a difficult concept, but if you…

So yesterday at work, Will introduced me to a new Firefox add-on. Its called FireFTP. I’m quite impressed with it, and here are a few reasons why: 1) Speed – It loaded the ftp sites pretty darn fast. I was impressed because I know its faster than what I use to use. 2) Run inside…

So I recently watched Robots and I really enjoyed it. It is a funny movie that has a great plot, and some great character development. I have seen it before, but it is so engrossing that although I had seen it before, three days after my sister-in-law started watching it and I saw the first…

Yesterday and today I noticed a problem with my feed creators. It seemed I was getting multiple feeds for each day. I knew partially why this was happening, and that is because my feeds are created by a php page so I created a script that would hit the web page and cause it to…

When I first started my new job, my boss was telling one of the other guys about a program called “SpaceMonger”. It sounded pretty neat, so I thought I would look into it. I figure this is a good place for me to express how absolutely pleased I am with this program. What SpaceMonger does…

Last night I completed the creation of the RSS feeds for the Book of Mormon – A chapter a day. There are now two feeds. One is the RSS feed described in the previous post, and the other is a podcast. The podcast links to lds.org giving both a link for the text, and the…

So for the last couple of days I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the podcast I had created and why it wouldn’t display correctly in Mozilla Thunderbird. I had 3 other podcasts that were showing up great, and this one didn’t. It turned out in the end that the podcast…

Well, I had this great idea for a new rss feed. It is a chapter a day of the Book of Mormon. This is for those of you who, like me, might struggle some with reading everyday. Right now there is only a text only version, but soon I am hoping to figure out the…

It seems that after some stalling and neglecting my sites, I have now got it setup enough that I can make some posts. I even set up RSS Feeds! I decided to setup 3 feeds. One for all of the posts, one for the general post section, and one for the Tech Stuff Blog. If…
