About Michael Curry's Exodus Development

Submitted by Exodus Development on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 10:03pm

Exodus Development, Inc. was founded in 1998 by Michael and Teri Curry. We've worked with a variety of clients over the years.

Why Exodus? I chose the name because I liked the idea of a mass departure.

We dissolved Exodus Development, Inc. in December of 2012 due to a shift in our focus. We'll retain this site for historical purposes, and any future business activity (if any) will be done under the name "That Michael Curry's Exodus Development." (It's a long story.)

Here's some of our most recent web site content.

QFind - Find text in Chrome Browser tabs

Quickly find text in titles and page content in Google Chrome tabs.

This browser extension is a real lifesaver if you tend to keep dozens of tabs and multiple windows open for extended periods.

WhyReboot™

Why Reboot?

Exodus WhyReboot™ is a small (~100KB) "Portable" Windows application that helps you decide whether to reboot your computer after running an installer. It does this by displaying a list of "pending file operations" (rename, delete, etc) that will occur after rebooting your computer. Quite often, no reboot is really needed.

You can download the utility by clicking the file attachment link at the end of this article.

December 18, 2006 news flash: Version 1.0.1.537 now available. See our news release for more information.

Ministry of Silly Prompts

"Would you like to restart your computer now?" Arguably the most aggravating prompt displayed by your Windows-based computer.

When I woke up this morning, I said to myself, "I think I'd like to reboot my computer several dozen times today!"

Why should you have to reboot your Windows-based computer so many times when installing software? Why do Microsoft Windows product installers insist on a reboot?

OpenSearch Plug-ins for Drupal.org, Drupal 4.7 API, Drupal 5 API, and Drupal 6 API

I've created some Drupal-specific OpenSearch plugins for Firefox (and IE7, too!). They provide Drupal.org and api.drupal.org search integration in browsers supporting the OpenSearch search plugin protocol.
They are useful when searching for Drupal API routines or other Drupal development subjects. Install them as you would any other OpenSearch plugin...

MyBlogLog for Drupal 4.7

Submitted by Mike on Sat, 01/06/2007 - 3:57pm
Posted in

I've created a simple MyBlogLog module for Drupal 4.7. This module provides the following features:

  • Inserts the MyBlogLog tracking javascript into generated pages - no need to hand-edit your template's page.tpl.php file, or manually create a block to inject the tracking javascript.
  • Provides the "Recent Reader" widget block
    (includes configuration options - color, width, # rows, etc.)
  • Disable visitor tracking for Administrators and other users on a per-role basis (prevent skewed stats due to admin or other roles' visits.)

Insert AdSense Ads Automatically in Drupal Nodes and Teaser Lists

Submitted by Mike on Thu, 12/28/2006 - 10:56am
Posted in

Here's a useful Drupal module that tweaks a node's body or teaser to insert an inline AdSense ad, when a node is rendered on a full page or teaser list.

This allows site administrators to enable automatic insertion of an AdSense ad into the page without the content editor having to insert inline [adense] filter tags, or having to edit a site's template.php (or other template files.) This offers a big advantage, as you can change the ad format, group, and channel on the fly without hand-editing each node (which is the only way I can think of doing it if you are using inline filters). Another advantage is that you can enable/disable the inserted AdSense with just a click of the mouse - no need to edit each node.
