About
Hi, I’m Mike and I’m a developer. Of just about any and everything. php, Java, Javascript, Ajax, C, C++, Business Basic, blah blah blah. I occasionally write about the dizzying array of computer (mostly software) technology I wrestle. My current job has me working a great deal with Magento, the open source e-commerce package that is really quite extraordinary.
I play bass, piano, guitar and a little bit of harmonica. Very Little. And sing.
I live in Southern New Jersey with my wife Lisa and son, Trent. My three daughters are grown and out of the house at college or at work (or both): Ashley, Gina and Megan. This was, at one point, a very crowded house.
Please drop a line if you think there’s something in these pages that makes you think I have a clue about something you’re grappling. It helps to have friends out here when it keeps changing every 8 minutes.
Best,
MXWest
hey mike – i ran across your blog in between pulling my hair out over trying to open a connection to the Magento API via XML-RPC and swearing. I see you have quite a few posts on how to do this via SOAP, do you have any experience in doing the same via XML-RPC (my server is not configured with SOAP) – any interest in helping me figure it out? Maybe it would give you an opportunity to pull some of your own hair out…
thanks for your time

Mike! Hey man, long time no chat how’ve you been?
