Performancing
26 October 2006Ok, so I found another alternative to BlogJet: Performancing. This is an extension of FireFox so I have to have that installed.
So far it looks like it is easy to use. It can’t seem to be able to insert an image like Live Writer but I think it will be easier to blog about something […]
Windows Live Writer
22 October 2006So I just heard about the Windows Live Writer Beta. I am a big fan of BlogJet so when I heard about this new Microsoft program I was skeptical. So far I like it.
Now if it uploads this picute then I will have a reason to start using it and not use BlogJet.
I am always […]

7 October 2006The other day, though, I stumbled over yet another software quality assessment tool: Lattix LDM. And what impressed me immediately was it´s easy to understand output based on the intuitive concept of the Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM).

Note to Craig: Pick Me! Pick Me!
I have been listening to Craig since he started his podcast and have been thourhly impressed with the show. He always has some good info and does not come across as being self important. He sounds like a […]
.5 TB Server
10 September 2006While rebuilding our home file server I realized that I had about .5 TB of disk space. This is spread across four different sized harddrives but if you add up the total space it is over 600 GB. It is not the full Terabyte server that I’ve been wanting to build but it is a step in that […]

Coding Horror: Source Control: Anything But SourceSafe
26 August 2006If you are serious about the practice of software development, you should avoid SourceSafe.
SourceSafe poisons the minds of software developers.
Coding Horror: Source Control: Anything But SourceSafe.
Visual Source Safe sucks. Jeff Atwood explains in no uncertain terms why it sucks and I just want to get my vote in. The two most important issues he points out […]
YouTube - The future of TV
19 August 2006I have been saying for the last couple of years that once we get true TV on demand we will stop becoming slaves to the networks. YouTube and Google Video are the start of that phenomena.
The thing I just found out about YouTube is that you can embed videos in any post and not worry about actaully […]

Gallery Upgrade
17 August 2006I upgraded my Gallery from 1.5 to 2.1 and man am I freaking impressed! Between WordPress and Gallery the stuff I’ve been working on with ASP.NET look like total crap.
The upgrade process was really easy. Rename my original gallery folder, make sure it still works, install the new gallery, import the old. The new […]
Moving blogs, ASP.NET vs PHP and WordPress
16 August 2006I moved my permanent blog to here, if you hadn’t noticed. It went a whole lot smoother than I thought it would as my main blog was on Blogger.com. I had this sinking feeling that in order to move all my entries I would have to save them one by one then repost them. Boy […]
VMWare Server - Good but…
12 August 2006I’ve have discovered virtualization. Actually I started using it several months ago and found that it is GREAT! It Rocks My World!!
After trying Microsoft’s I decided that I preferred VMWare’s Virtual Server, mainly because there is a version for Linux. I have a plan to build the ultimate home server using VM’s.
However, tonight I had […]
Reading .NET Configuration Files
9 August 2006I am currently working on a small app that will scan our environment and verify that all the configuration settings are correct. One thing I found was that you can’t open just any .config file using System.Configuration, it has to be named the same as the calling assembly.
What a pain.

Public Education - Where Should the Money Go?
30 March 2006Why should the government be responsible for paying for my kids education? After all, he is my kid so why should local, state, or federal tax money go to improve his education?
Because the USA will benefit from my son being educated. The State (meaning local, state and federal governments) will benefit by my son making […]

My First WTF Experiance
15 March 2006OK, so I have seen bad code in the past. Hell, I’ve written some pretty bad code in the past, present and will in the future. But what I am looking at right now just blows my freaking mind.
A stored procedure that generates dynamic SQL to parse an XML document stored in a table which […]
