I’m very mediocre at online marketing. I know all the theory and things I should be doing to make money online, but I haven’t hit the big time by any means. I think a big part of the problem is that I’m not very motivated by making money. For for some weird reason, I’m very […]

I was happy to receive an email this week from the author of MySQL Front. The product is now SQL-Front. So far, I don’t know that much is new other than the name change. The best part is that all license keys still work – better yet, if you once registered and lost your registration […]

I use DirectAdmin for my hosting control panel. There is a nice plugin to add awstats, but I’ve found they don’t work on sites where I have WordPress set up (such as this site) because I’m using permalinks. No worries though. I found a way to fix it. Just put the bolded line below in […]

OK, here’s the problem. I need an easy way to sort table rows for my new mini site at www.BigBangHosts.com. I normally use script.aculo.us for my DHTML & Ajax needs, but in this case I couldn’t find what I needed. I wanted and easy way to sort table rows and store the new sorting in […]

I saw this joke online today and I got it right away and thought it was quite humorous:
Q: Why do computer geeks confuse Halloween & Christmas?
A: 31 OCT = 25 DEC
So I rushed off to tell my fellow programmers and they just didn’t get it. I even wrote it down for them. Hmph. A joke […]
