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#. [...]
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 [...]
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). [...]
I ran a traffic analysis today and must say, I like the results. Stats are for the dates of 07/14/07 19:40:19 through 10/16/07 17:09:55. All stats have had internal addresses (hits from me) filtered out, so this is pure external data.

Never would have thought I’d end up on Page 1 of a Google search for unused Halo 1 product key… sure enough. Obviously, I would never broadcast a perfectly-good product key across the Internet; I’d keep it for my own selfish gains. Nonetheless, I find it funny. Y’see, I complained about Halo 1, and I [...]
I got a wild hair up my ass to check my GoogleJuice today, based on recent search results I’ve been seeing. In my typical fashion of self-promotion, here’s how it went:
1 of 6,240,000: Very Widescreen (Entry) (Wow!)
1 of 221,000: Comcast Line Tech (Entry)
1 of 169,000: Shiny red sports car (Entry)
1 of 72,200: unreliable Comcast (Entry

So, the question of the day is how to solve a routing problem. Hopefully some of my secret blog readers are CCNA’s who don’t mind working with Linksys and Belkin hardware. Yes, I know, Linksys embarasses Cisco. Moving on…
Comcast’s continued problems have caused me to get a DSL connection as a backup. However, I want [...]
Some of you will recall the plans to upgrade to Dual Broadband as brought on by the Year-Long Saga. Qwest delivered their modem as promised, and it’s up and running.
Initially, the plan was to set up a load balancer to pipe outgoing connections to whichever outbound network had the most bandwidth available at the time. [...]
Having given up on Comcast ever concluding the Year-Long Saga, I ordered Qwest DSL to be installed this Friday. Their prices are higher and their speeds lower, but they’ll function as a stopgap until either Comcast fixes their issues, Verizon offers FIOS in Colorado, or I move.
One of my spare systems will function as a [...]
Many of you have been around for the Chronicles of Comcast. This is a synopsis for those of you who don’t want to bother with reading through each post in order.
The problem started sometime in December of 2006, around the time that Comcast bought Adelphia. I noticed my connection speed immediately increased, but the connection [...]
