All Recent Tags Recently, I noticed some strangeness on my home wireless network. Sometimes the speed would be slower than normal, I couldn't print to my printer, and some of my more advanced router settings (for port forwarding, firewall, etc.) would seem to be "lost".
As it turns out, my laptop was attaching...

I have a love-hate relationship with Palm. First, the love: for starters, Palm-based PDAs do everything I want a PDA to do. Just give me the basics, such as a nice contact list, memo/notepad, a to-do list, etc. Palm has always done that, and that's all it really needed to do. If I wanted add-ons, I...

Last August, Business 2.0 magazine published an article that speculated Google was considering building a U.S. broadband network capable of targeting specific advertising to users, based on the location of their WiFi. The so-called "Google.net"" or "Google WiFi" caused much speculation, however,...

I'm a math freak. During my "school days", I hated homework, but loved the extra credit questions. Once I learned something, doing 100 problems seemed more like a punishment for learning than it did a learning exercise. Those extra credit problems often salvaged my grades. Recently my daughter (who...

Web Developer. Webmaster. Web Designer. What do these terms mean? Which one are you? In fact, these terms have been used and misused so much that they are in danger of losing any distinct meaning. This article attempts to define and defend these labels and their meanings.
"Webmaster" in particular...

Most ASP.NET Developers have no previous web development experience. Is that a true or false statement? I suspect it's true, but found no statistics to back it up. However, judging from posts in several technical forum sites, one certainly gets that impression.

I promised "wordplay" in this blog, so here's the first challenge. List as many homophonic antonyms as you can. First, recall that homophones are two words that sound the same, but are spelled differently. An example would be "wear" and "where". Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings:...
