Whenever I’m working with Java code I have a habit of opening up a web browser and going to http://java.sun.com immediately. From there I select the Java API Reference and away I go writing Java code. I did the same thing today and was a bit shocked that the Oracle brand has completely infiltrated the [...]

WordPress 2.9 was release somewhat recently and so like a good WP minion I logged into my site and clicked the update button. Error… uh oh.

I was trying to hunt down some information about latest internet provider, Mediacom, for which I have not been extremely excited about. I found this PDF for Broadband Internet Help and figured I’d take a look. It was basically information on hooking up your cable modem… no help. However at the end of the PDF [...]

I was browsing a website looking at Glock handguns tonight for my father-in-law. I noticed that the site was performing extremely poorly; everything took a long time to load. That’s just about when it happened. I received a site error message. This one made me laugh though so I had to post it. In huge [...]

I love (sarcastically) cleaning up other people’s HTML code. For instance I just found this little snippet. <td rowspan="2"> <font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&nbsp;</font> <font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&nbsp;</font> </td> So let me get this straight… in this table column you want a single space, formatted with”Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif” font of size 2.
