So I've begun my 4-week vacation and thus far it's seemed like a weekend. I am sure once a week has passed though I will start to feel like I'm off work. I've not done much but it does feel nice to be able to not think about programming...

All the more reason why I plan on buying a Playstation 3 tomorrow. Microsoft fails again. X-bit labs - Microsoft Denies Plans for Add-On Blu-Ray Drive for Xbox 360. Share this post: | | | | | |

Sick and tired of Windows Mobile on my Mogul. It's slow. It's designed for a stylus, not my thumb. On the plus side, I like the fact I can write applications for the phone in a very advanced development environment (e.g. Visual Studio 2008), do...

Well I found it was about time to get a new laptop so I went on a spending spree today. Picked up a new HP DV5-1004NR . It's a pretty decent laptop for the price tag, and it certainly has some nice features included. It was mandatory I get a 64-bit...

It's no surprise that running an anti-virus program will put a performance hit on your PC. However, I was recently really getting fed up with Norton Anti-virus as it's resident programs were always bloated using up to 50mb of ram and my system...

I've had it. I quit. I'm done. It can't be done here. I'm tired. Help! All of the previous statements have been said by me in the past few years here at my current job as a Sr. Software Engineer at a local government contractor. Our company...

Below is the bulk of the content from a standard procedure I recently wrote for my open source project .Mail Server Suite . Often when you have a group of people working on a single project, it makes sense to have an expectation of consistent code design...

Well, just about everywhere. My HTC Mogul and Sprint PCS plan allow me to have unlimited data transfers, and with the ability to share my phones Internet connection via USB or Bluetooth, I can get access for my laptop where there's no public wireless...

Microsoft released a website recently posting reaction videos of people they had asked to preview a new version of Windows called Mojave. Only this was simply Windows Vista they were actually previewing. The point being to show that people had misconceptions...

So I recently took my mom and dad out to dinner for my father's birthday. It was suggested by my mother that we go to Ruth's Chris steak house but I had in mind another place I had been before that I felt my Dad would enjoy just as well. To eat...

...killed it for a couple of days at least. Until I came across a comment in a blog about a related issue regarding how Sprint denies MMS on Win mobile and blackberry phones. Although I had also read that Sprint will "soon" be releasing an update...

Hell yeah! I loved the first Tron; to hear they're making a second one is pimp. About time! A movie only a computer geek can appreciate. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x692m3_tr2n-cleaned-up-001_fun Share this post: | | | | | |

It seems like Microsoft is only partially getting the hint these days. Perhaps they've lost their fight to be the best in every market; innovators in every respect. Maybe I'm just overly jaded by their mistakes. Vista, Mobile 6, and TagSpace to...

Oh yes, I've done like the rest and have moved on from mySpace to Facebook. Quite frankly after using Facebook, I'm wondering why I hadn't done so sooner. It is quite frankly a more robust site, with "pluggable applications" it's...

So I've decided to start another open source project. This time, it's a release of code that I've been brewing on the back burner so to speak for quite some time. I've recently have completed a total re-write of a .net smtp server and...
