This is just a reminder for most of you who haven’t seen my live streaming cameras at http://live.damnednice.com - If you like to watch, give it a look.
I tried to embed the two cam feeds here for your viewing pleasure; Alas, Lockergnome’s Wordpress engine refuses to give me direct HTML access, so I couldn’t [...]

The (big, fancy, secret) project I work on moved to Production this week. The test cycle was a joke, but half a dozen people inside the company have been using it and I’ve been getting the feedback I need to keep the application free of bugs. So the site has launched and people can log [...]

Some of you know I bought GoogleJuicer.com awhile back and started hosting it, though there’s nothing there, really… Well, I randomly Googled GoogleJuice and showed up on page 1!
GoogleJuice: #8 of 31,200
When there’s actually stuff there, I’m sure I’ll shoot up a bit in the rankings. The Google search ranking algorighm puts lots of weight [...]

As some of you know, I code my ASP.NET code-behinds in two languages: C# for hobbies and projects, and VB.NET for work. I never had to instantiate and invoke events manually in C# before, just in VB.NET. But, because of the new stuff I’m doing in Z-Index 255, I had to come up with an implementation for C#. [...]

Okay, so there’s this bug in the AJAX Accordion that prevents a nested button from firing on the first click. That is, you have to click the button twice to cause its event handler to fire.
The bug was apparently added to the AJAX team’s long list of bugs to fix a year ago around the [...]

Remember when I said I was having a hardware issue where occasionally both screens connected to one of my video cards spontaneously stopped responding, thus freezing the system?
Vista is able to recover from this occuring; my guess is they do the obvious thing and cycle the card. Why didn’t they have this kind of error [...]

I bought a headset lamp a few days ago while window-shopping at CompUSA. This thing was a real rip-off.
As advertised, it’s a light you put on your head. It comes with these basic parts:
- Headband
- LED Lights
- Dimmer switch (Built better than the rest of the product)
- Cheap Plastic Switch (Cheap, plastic)
It does what it [...]

Today during my weekly food shopping, I did something I’ve been putting off for months now: I bought a $20 USB BlueTooth adapter.
I used to use my BlueTooth headset with my phone, but since I’m not taking 100 calls a day now, it’s not really neccessary. It’s literally been sitting on the charging cable [...]

This year, I have resumed a tradition I had observed only twice before. I suppose the “Pre-Thanksgiving Royal Gorge” is a fitting title; allow me to explain it in further detail.
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I feast upon the carcasses of dead livestock. That is, I gorge myself; mostly on meat. I stuff myself to the [...]

Trying to get good wallpapers for a multiple-monitor configuration is difficult. The people who make wallpapers for fun and profit usually have one screen so they never realize alot of us have more than 1680×1050 pixels to fill.
I, however, am an afficionado of widescreen and multi-screen wallpapers (which I’m collecting on my Multi-Monitor Resource Page). [...]
