Because someone's got to do the dirty work

  • INTJ's, ENTJ's, and PITA's

    Anyone that has worked in a corporate dev environment (of any size) knows there are usually lots of different personalities among development teams. Some burn incence in their cubicle while listening to Enya and buying a VW Bug online, Some come to work smelling of smoke and beer and claim that they carry visine around because they wear contacts. I'm sure you've run into your fair share of them, and I alluded to some in my last post on this. I guess you could say "I'm back" or that this is "Round Two" of these posts, whatever. Here are some more I've had the honor of working with in the past.

  • My own Nerd Quiz

    Since my introverted nature as a nerd didn't compell me to post my results from taking this quiz that's been circulating through many of the blogs I read, I thought maybe I should make my own nerd quiz -- that better reflects what I consider makes me (and others) nerds. You'll also see that I have significantly reduced the complexity of how the scoring works.

  • Getting .asax in VS.NET 2003

    I looked all over the google, err..I mean the internet and also the google groups...err...I mean the newsgroups and still couldn't find the answer I was looking for so...figure I'll post it here and maybe someone that knows the answer will pick it up.

  • Web developers tip: use favorites to resize your window

    I've seen the tip before about how to type something like "javascript:resizeTo(800,600);" to get your browser to resize to 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Very useful. What I found even more useful however, is to create a series of favorites/bookmarks in IE, Firefox and other browsers and set the URL to something like "javascript:resizeTo(1024,768);"  and name the favorite "1024x768"

  • Best Wishes to Jenny & Paul

    I just read this over on Paul Wilson's blog. This hits particularly close to home because a long history of breast cancer runs in my wife's family. Both her grandmother and great-grandmothers survived through breast cancer on her mother's side. All I can say Paul, is that I'll keep you in my prayers and wish the best possible outcome for you and your wife. May god bless Jenny with a quick recovery and may she suffer as little affliction as possible along the way.
