I want to give this idea to an enterprising young individual who has the talent to make it happen on a mass scale. Logistically the idea is not all that complicated, however, pulling it off successfully will take some experience with the underlying technologies.In additional, one will need a passion for server administration, something I do not have. Alright, so the problem is providing an

I have run into this problem time and time again. I have read several posts on the topic and while I did gain some insight I failed to improve my particular situation. In a conversation today I began to talk about my portfolio. I say I began because I couldn't finish.I don't have a portfolio. I have done plenty of work, don't get me wrong. I just don't have anything to show for it. How? I

I have a request to any hardware developers out there who would like to develop the most practical futuristic input device possible today.  If you heard of multi-touch input done on a small scale then you are getting close to what the device looks like.The device I speak of is 16x9 in format and is no thicker than a few inches.  It has a height adjustable stand with the ability to pivot.  The

After spending the last 20 minutes dealing with a certain popular website editing program, rhymes with DreenBeaver, I got to thinking. First a bit of background. Anytime you visit a website your browser downloads a copy of every page you look at. This is commonly known as caching.The reason your browser caches any visited website is on the off chance you visit it again, it already has the

There was a change in the .NET framework that took the System.Web.Mail class away and replaced it with System.Net.Mail.  Some of the documentation still points to the old method of mail and I always struggle to find the correct information.I am including a link to Scot Gu's blog on the correct way to send an email using .NET with code examples in C#.

I can't take credit for this as it was originally put together in the newsletter Kibbles & Bytes by Small Dog Electronics. Enjoy as it contains some excellent information.Mouse Clicks and Key Combinations for the DockMouse ClickClicking on an item in the dock brings the item forward or opens it if it is not already open. It also brings minimized windows out of the dock.Control-clickReveals the

Here is an interesting idea. A search that can access content beyond multiple types of authentication. Now on the surface this is no more of a request than what any other search company is doing. You may have already heard of the quest for finding information buried in the "dark web". Kinda like the Dark Portal only much less sinister.The problem is present in any organization that uses

This video is way to amazing to ignore. Kudos to the creator.

This is more of a reminder for myself than anything else. I don't think this is something that is solely limited to a small group of people. Or maybe it is, I'm not sure. Anyway on to something more useful than an introduction of rambling.If you find you signed up for a service and don't use it anymore. Permanently get rid of it. Services, like the popular profile sharing sites, won't

There is much talk about Ruby on Rails (RoR) and how it will revolutionize the way programs are developed. The technology allows rapid deployment of web products and relies on standard technologies. RoRs has certainly made it's mark.Some of you may have read the rant by Mongrel creator Zed Shaw. I won't go into summarizing the article or adding my opinion because it's been done. After reading

Right now I am not impressed with Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions. I am not a fan of the number of different versions to choose from nor the need to use more than one edition. At first, I thought for web development I could just choose the Web Developer Edition.For .NET development I am a big fan of C# so I avoid Visual Basic whenever possible. I am also a big fan of testing my code so

The name of this blog was actually not my first choice. Sadly, I was a bit tardy on registration and someone else got there first, timely decisiveness is not my strong suite. If you get a good idea for a domain name or anything requiring registration, register it. I won't mention my first pick as I still might register the domain name.That's it for the Background Story. I had to think a

Because everyone needs change.Because life is too linear.Because it's unexpected.I can't vouch for that last one and be totally serious. The idea behind yet another blog is to stir up some thoughts and change your perception on daily living. I don't intend to ramble on or delve into strange and utterly useless topics. I don't intend to write what others have already written.I do intend to keep
