Oh my beloved Time, where art thou?

  • Last Day

    Well today is my last day @ http://www.impactimaging.com.  Moving on can be hard sometimes.  Especially when you care alot about fellow employees.  Monday starts a new phase in my life.  Should be interesting.

  • Gmail

    Just got my Gmail account setup.  First cool feature I noticed:  Intellisense in the ‘To’ field!


    Yes, I’m easily amused.

  • GetThumbNailImage()

    Upon using this method, I have run across something I did not know.  All of my thumbnails were turning out really bad with some horrible looking compression.  As it turns out some digital cams imbed a thumbnail inside the image, and the GetThumbNailImage() method returns a thumbnail from the imbedded thumbnail as pointed out in this article

  • SQL Injection

    Considering SQL injection attacks (and not performance reasons) what is difference between the two examples below? Taking the two examples into consideration I dont understand how using a SP is any safer against attacks?


    MySql = "SELECT field1 FROM table1 WHERE field2 = @search"
    MyCommand = New SqlCommand(MySql, MyConnection)
    Dim sp As SqlParameter = new SqlParameter
    sp = MyCommand.Parameters.Add("@search",SqlDbType.VarChar)
    sp.Value = Request.QueryString("search")
