 | If you think back, you may remember that I blogged about a being a technical reviewer for an upcoming O’Reilly book. Well the book has just been published, and I got a copy in the mail today. In the O’Reilly tradition, it has an animal on the front cover — a catfish. If anyone buys a copy, I’d be happy to sign it for you. You know, now that I’m famous… and published… sort of… in that “I didn’t really write anything — I just read the book” sort of way. Update: A co-worker pointed out that my name was listed in the credits at the end of the introduction. I didn’t even realize that I had been mentioned in the book. Now you have to buy it. |
According to optionsScalper, I make the web “suck less” with some things I posted earlier this month here and here.
Just doing my job, ma’am. Just doing my job. 😉
Tonight, Kelly and I are going to Chicago to see the Blue Man Group. We’re going to the 10PM show, so we’re staying the night (at a nice 4 star joint thanks to Priceline).
Her birthday was yesterday and this was part of her present. I think I might enjoy it as much as her, though!
Now that VB8 has been out for a few months, and I’m using it as much as I use VB6 (mostly on VB7), I’ve finally found an answer to a problem that has bugged me forever. OK, well, not forever, but for a long time.
Has anyone ever noticed that the scroll wheel on your mouse doesn’t work correctly in VB6? A coworker sent me a link today that tells you how to fix that.
So, in case I’m not the only person to not know that such a fix exists (because I never bothered to search), here you go! Enjoy!
What a great way to end a Friday… 😉
Something that every business should do. Imagine how good it would feel to be a customer for a company who thinks you’re they’re favorite. And from the other side, imagine what it would be like to only work with people who are your favorites?
I was reading Scott Guthrie’s blog post about a free CMS (content management system) written with ASP.NET 2.0. I went to look at the site, and clicked on the link for a demo. First sentence:
You can test and get to know the new AxCMS.net for 4 weeks completely free and without oblivion. (Emphasis added.)
Oblivion. Funny.
Update: I checked last night (2/13/2006) and the word was corrected.
Today is my wife Kelly’s 24th birthday. Happy birthday, Kelly. I love you!
A couple weeks ago, I posted a “slightly useful piece of software” which could be used to convert a bunch of BMP files to JPG. We’ll I just updated it to allow you to select the source and destination file types.
I’ve replaced the old download with the modified one, and you can get it here. Use at your own risk.
It’s pretty simple to use, but see the original post for more info. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I probably won’t put too much work into it, but if it’s a good suggestion, I may.
I just saw this today: MS Paint
