Phantom Tinglies
October 12th, 2007 · 1 Comment
I always thought that it was just me. I thought I was alone. I wondered if anyone out there shared the phantom tinglies, or if I was just crazy. It turns out, I’m NOT the only person who feels phantom phone vibrations. My favorite quote from the article:
“Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams […]

March 14th, 2007 · No Comments
So I was working on a project last night where I needed to set up a MS SQL Server 2005 database on my web hosting companies servers.

Being new to .Net, C#, ASP, ect., I wasn’t sure how to make use of forms and their data. Don’t get me wrong, I know the basics of how it would work, but not the specifics for the environment I am trying to get acquainted with. So I went looking for the obvious, […]

Sometimes you are forced to move away from your roots. Usually when you hear something like that you are talking about changing cities or states.

Permalinks Suck in IIS
December 21st, 2006 · No Comments
Its official. I’ve thrown in the towel on the pretty permalinks. I’m convinced that its just not going to work for me, and that sucks, because there was lots of content that was indexed by a number of sites that will no longer show up right. I did add a link on […]
Permalinks
December 15th, 2006 · No Comments
Damn. So close. In IIS the permalink structure doesn’t work right away as I have it set up….and because my site has been around a while and been indexed with the permalink setup, I want to keep the same architecture.
