The bee’s knees. The cat’s meow. Last night I was going over some stuff on how to download Gmail messages via POP to a desktop email client like Outlook or Thunderbird, and saw that they had added IMAP access now! I personally don’t think I’ll go back a desktop email client anymore, but I know [...]
How many comics can incorporate SQL Injection* into the punchline? See XKCD: *The down and dirty of it is that SQL is the language to manipulate databases, and unless you check for certain characters when entering data, somebody could run code that isn’t meant to be run. That’s “SQL Injection”. By having “DROP TABLE Students” [...]
do people send image files (say, a logo in this instance) as a PDF or embedded in a Word document? Send the f-ing thing as the original JPG or BMP or GIF image. You have to copy and paste the damn thing into Word or print as a PDF in the first place – just [...]
Just a few minor annoyances to end an otherwise pretty good week: One of the houses that we were going to look at this weekend, has been taken off the market. What sucks is that this one (at least from the outside) had the potential to be a front-runner for us, and the outside of [...]

Anyone have any good ideas for a Seinfeld themed costume that would work for me? There does seem to be a lot going on lately, but really that’s no excuse to let things go stale on here. My apologies…. Won’t Someone Think of the Children?? Courtesy of Ars, it is being reported that Anheuser-Busch is [...]

I had the distinct pleasure of stumbling on an old copy I had around of Transformers: The Movie this weekend. What am I to do but relive some childhood memories and watch it again, right? Some thoughts: This was made a long time ago. 1986 to be exact. Damn, I remember watching it as a [...]

Ken sent me this, and I’m bored, and I don’t want to forward it on to a bunch of people. Yeah, I’m a dork: 1. What is your full name? passing on this….I don’t want to put my full name on here. Yeah, if you know me, you know my name. And if you don’t, [...]
[This probably isn't of interest to most people, but hopefully the googlebots will find it and maybe I'll help someone else in the same position.

We watched Tom Hank’s “Bachelor Party” tonight….I don’t think Jen was amused. It’s some good campy 80′s humor, plus a young Tom Hanks before he was a “serious” actor and all! What’s not to like? Heh, it’s fun anyway… Otherwise, I just have a couple of stories I saw today to comment on. First, we [...]
