You want Multimon Wallpapers? You got ‘em!

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). […]

Programatically Download File from Remote Location to User Through Server

I struggled with this problem for the better part of a day. The problem is this: I had a Page that needed to push a ZIP file out to a User, programatically, based on information acquired from SQL. Normally this would be fairly simple, but the file isn’t on the web server, and it can’t […]

Google Works Funny

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 […]

Today’s Google Results

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
1 […]

Thoughts on Vista SP1

Let me begin by saying I am a power user, and as such many things in my environment are different from a lower breed of user. My Vista system has six monitors and some of the best DDR2 RAM money can buy. I have a server at home with nearly 4TB of total storage.
I’m an […]

Buyer Beware

Not having a car sucks. I tried to finance one awhile ago, but got turned down because I have a repo on my credit report. They didn’t care that I make enough money to pay it off in two months, nor that I make five times what I made when the repo occurred. Bah.
So I […]

Christmas Story v2.0

found this piece in a dark corner of my aging repository of text files I don’t read very often. It’s a revision of a Christmas fairy tale which is verbose to the maximum. The original tale’s name escapes me, though it hardly matters. I’d Google it for you if such matters were of substance.

The Year-Long Comcast Saga

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 […]

Monitoring your Unreliable Comcast Internet Connection

Lots of us have old computers that sit around collecting dust, or possibly even plugged in and running, “Just in case”. Lots of us have Comcast and are thus aware of the Unreliable Nature of Comcast. When you fall into both categories, I suggest you take it upon yourself to implement a monitoring system similar […]
