So I think I jinxed myself earlier with that post about it being slow. I’m now on hour 16 at the office with no end in sight. Oh well though, I’m on a roll and having fun sitting here by myself with my music cranked and my fingers typing furiously at the keyboard. It feels [...]

Slow Times

So one of the most fun and yet boring times of a project is that end phase where you are pushing out bug fixes to the first round of testing. I think my favorite part of it all is sitting in a room with the rest of the devs and going through the list of [...]

So just a quick post about some more datagrid fun from yesterday before I really set into the day’s work in earnest. Basically adding other controls to a datagrid (in this case a textbox and a dropdownlist) so that the user can just edit all the fields at once similar to how excel works. So [...]

Yesterday’s momentary dilemma of the day was being able to enable and with that disable links in an ASP.NET datagrid control. It was a fairly easy task, just took a little time to find what I needed to make it work. So here is what we’re looking for:Quite simple by the look of it, so [...]

So I grabbed a link to an article by Jakob Nielsen, a name that I’ve been finding more and more on the web the last few months. Basically the Usability Guy, who my first web encounter with was on DesignByFire in an article entitled “Design Eye for the Usability Guy”. Anyways, he posts a Top [...]

I got the first round of pictures up in the images section. Just got those today from Graduation a few months back. Thanks Vito!

I know stereotyping is bad, but so many just crawl to mind after reading this article.

Katrina Updates

So a few fun things that have happened on the home front (New Orleans & Slidell) since Katrina.

Speakeasys:
A few bars in New Orleans have taken up the old tradition of Speak Easys, that is you give a passcode at the door to get in. This is mostly to get around the midnight curfew so that [...]

E-mailing via Text Messages

So the interesting things you learn by doing nothing really other than clicking on random things on websites. Today’s find? E-mailing through text messages. How did I find it? Well the first thing was catching on to GeoURL which I found on Nathanael’s site. So I registered myself, set up that nifty tag in my [...]

ASP.NET vs. Word, Take 2

So I haven’t finished with this project, in fact I haven’t made it very far into it other than some initial research. Got to love the programming business, figure this out and at the same time get x, y, and z done. So what is the conclusion of the research? Well according to Microsoft, it [...]

Today’s Agenda:After making sure there aren’t any bugs in my latest web part I get to try and tackle creating two word documents from the data stored in the database. I’m sure it can be done, but I’ve never done it so this should be a fun little project to tackle. Details to come as [...]

Neuticles anyone?

Want to neuter your pet but don’t want him to be picked on by the other dogs well I have a product for you. It’s Neuticles.

Yikes… Who comes up with these things?

Murphy Strikes Back

“What can go wrong will!”Yeah but why last night Murphy? So we were practicing last night, going through a couple new songs and making sure we have everything down for the three songs we are going to record tomorrow when our lead guitarist’s amp stopped working. At least this didn’t happen while we were in [...]

Who would win in a match between a 6’ American Aligator and a 13’ Burmese Python…..

computer simulation running

... and the answer is, neither!

Check out this link.

And the moral of the story is: If it’s your time to go, bring someone with you, preferably the rotten bastard that is trying to eat you.
