Almost 2 years ago I posted a little about my favorite software titles. Tonight I thought it would be interesting to take a look at my current favorites and see how the list has changed. Microsoft OneNote is still on the list, albeit the new 2010 version. This is still where I organize everything and take [...]

Microsoft Office 2010 and Visual Studio 2008
May 8th, 2010 · Comments Off · General
If you use Visual Studio 2008 and install Microsoft Office 2010, it looks like there’s a very good chance your Visual Studio Web Designer will be clobbered.

Avoid Webhost4Life for Hosting
April 25th, 2010 · 7 Comments · General
For a couple years now, I have been using Webhost4Life to host my Chef website, ejichef.com. At $10-$12/month, they weren’t the cheapest option out there for Microsoft-based shared hosting, but they also weren’t the most expensive. All-in-all I never had any major problems with them and their support was reasonably responsive (again, given the cost). I have [...]

More PowerShell – a Cmdlet
September 8th, 2009 · Comments Off · General
This past weekend I spent some time reading up on and writing my first PowerShell cmdlet. The cmdlet is an easy one, but replaces a PS function I have copy/pasted into several scripts here and there to handle cleaning out directories of old backups or other types of files. One scenario is my RadioShark which I have setup [...]

August 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · General
Since rebuilding my machine with a new motherboard and processor, I’ve gotten a few crashes in the middle of the night. I’ve come downstairs to a rebooted PC with an error message indicating the dreaded Blue Screen of Death has visited. So I decided to figure out what’s causing it, and maybe find a fix. [...]
