  • Learning Things the Hard Way

    Three years ago my wife and I lived in a neighboring town to Portland Oregon. Things are very different there than they are in the Los Angeles area, particularly the dependency on a steady flow of what we've all come to know affectionately as "electricity".

  • Oh, Pah-leeeeze!

    Today I saw an online petition designed to preserve Visual Basic 6, COM, and a bunch of those old, out-dated related technologies on this web site.

  • Thumbs Up Logitech

    A couple of months ago I started to travel fairly extensively. Being a married man it was quickly evident that being away from home as much as two weeks out of the month forces you to try to create new ways to be as close to home as possible.

  • Windows Forms Panel

    Today I was toying with the task of creating an extensible Windows Forms application (much like stock & bond quote systems are today). The client wanted to be able to select a particular real estate investor and have the ability to create any number of more detailed content areas on the main application form.

  • Good Things Come...

    When I was still a youngster we'd visit my grandmother every year during the month of August. My aunt would fly in to visit from California during this time and without fail she'd always take us to the toy store and buy my sister, brother and I one toy each.

  • A Kinder, Gentler Network

    Over the past few months I've been having problems with my servers, particularly in the active directory and exchange arenas. SQL and IIS have had no problems at all (so I guess I had THAT going for me, if you want to look on the bright side) but I had tons and tons of red alerts in the application logs that contained really impressive looking techno-babble which I absolutely did not understand.

  • Introducing "Ms. Car"!!!

    The lease on my wife's 2001 VW New Beetle is finally up in January so we have been keeping our ear out for specials and incentives over the past few weeks in order to make sure we didn't have to take what we could get at the last minute.
