I think this is blog worthy. My fiance and I made the drive back from Doylestown, PA to Downers Grove, IL in under 12 hours; setting our own personal best (and quite possibly a world) record. We were on the road with a full tank of gas at about 5:45am...

It's been 9 months in the making and the American Academies of Sports Practitioners (AASP) is finally live! I was given the logo you see above and I built the entire site around it, mostly from scratch. I implemented a forum system using YetAnotherForum...

I finally published a project of mine to some hosting I purchased from DiscountASP.NET. I'm very pleased with their service and minus the inability to contact them by phone, I prefer them over GoDaddy. So after purchasing all the Add-Ons I needed...

The day we drive half-way across the country is the day my system decides to stop working. While driving home for the holidays a friend let me know the site was down and from my fiance's iPhone I was able to determine the whole system had lost connection...

It's not often that an older piece of technology blows my mind, but it happened this week and I'm still reeling with disbelief. I had no idea this cable existed until a couple of days ago! It's simple enough; a triple-band 3.5mm (headphone...

It's about time I installed an SPF record for my domain. Since I host my own Exchange server, I sometimes run into email issues since I'm forced to send all my email through my ISP (Comcast). This can result in problems since all Comcast IP addresses...

I thought I had done a thorough enough job of using Try Catch blocks and descriptive custom exceptions so that I'd know exactly where any error occurred in my application. Alas, I did not. Debug information with line numbers is the single most valuable...

I've been working with YetAnotherForum for a while now. It's an open-source .NET forum control written in C#, and it's great software. I've made some contributions here and there with a smiley pak , an avatar collection , and helping others...

I'm experiencing an odd exception when debugging locally but everything works fine when it's deployed to a remote development server. Someone suggested I use IIS locally when debugging, instead of the built-in Visual Studio Development Server...

So about a week ago I decided to do a little research on this musical phenomenon that has been going on strong for the past year or so.. Mixtapes! What's so great about a mixtape I wondered? Why is it that artists like Lil Wayne decide to put out...

Do you ever remote into many RDP sessions at a time? Have you ever played that really fun little game where you try to 'catch' the one drop down RDP pin menu that you want to close without closing down the entire session? You'll know what...

My website and blog have been online for over a year now. I launched September 28th of last year which is just a little shy of 14 months ago. I figured it's time to look back and analyze my progress and I'm actually excited about some of the suprising...

Well this is new! I just ran a global search in my solution, like I do a hundred times a day, and it failed with this generic error message in the Find Result window: Find all "FIND ME!", Subfolders, Find Results 1, "Entire Solution"...

This took entirely too long to figure out. Hopefully this will help someone else fix it more quickly. If you have a horizontal ASP.NET menu where all of the buttons are centered and looking great in IE, but will remain left-aligned in FireFox no matter...

The Situation: I'm testing my web app on a server in my basement, connected to the internet through Comcast. The app should send email at various times to mailboxes I've setup with my GoDaddy domain. The Problem: Some emails come through ... most...
