Carol had bought me tickets for last nights game as a Christmas present. Good seats, great view. There doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the place. The game was great. Went into over time with the coyotes scoring a short handed goal in the final minute. Carol really appreciated the game and the [...]

Yesterday I was asked to oversee the network and database portions of our company. My first task was to figure out what each of the people in those areas does on a daily basis. And my second task was cleaning up. I have been a “network guy” in the past. I worked for Oconnor Cavanaugh [...]

So we left Emerald Cove for Huntington Beach RV Park. It was basically a parking lot with power and water. It was however, right on the beach. I mean there was the public boardwalk thing and then the beach. We were about 10 feet from the sand. I took my daughter out there each day [...]

We stayed at Emerald Cove in Parker, AZ this weekend and it was just ok. How did it all happen? When we bought our RV, they got our phone number and called. We got 25 free nights. The first 3 nights required us to listen to a 90 minute presentation. Colorado River Adventures was the [...]

I am sure you missed me. I took time off because I wasn’t comfortable after loosing my newborn daughter Kennedy. I needed time away from sharing etc. I had to go back to work after about 3 weeks. The company I work for was very gracious and made the transition back easy from a management [...]

I hate getting my password reminder 14 days in advance. It is just annoying and I end up changing my PWD every 15 days… Well I read my friend Calvin Hsia’s blog today and it solves the issue. Works great and is a life saver. Thanks Calvin! Just change this registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\passwordexpirywarning

Each and every day is an interview. I have had this in mind for about 6 months now. I have had examples of this regularly and most recently I have realized this had been true for some time. I am a member of azgroups.com. It’s a Microsoft .NET group for developers or IT professionals in [...]

Amazon has a contest for .NET programmers to use VS.NET 2005. Create something using their web services. Just enter. I know enough of you that are good enough to enter this and at least get something submitted. The benefit is in the learning. The last thing I need is another T Shirt for my wife [...]

Back in 2003 I wrote a program called Huber Weather.I created it to work with .NET and XML more and used the weather.com feed to get the weather. It was rather rewarding and ended up being pretty good. I used it for about a year and then forgot about it. I thought about walking to [...]

I wrote a program a while back to shrinkimages from their 4megapixel size to 500X500 (or whatever you want). It was pretty good, it can do all subdirectories and then you can upload the images. I was able to learn a lot in the process about delegates. System.io, and system.drawing. Problem is I bought the [...]

I just watched 40 year old virgin. Man that was a funny movie. It was great. Just plain halarious. The movie reminded me of my favorite movie: Better off Dead. If you arent familiar with the movie – it isnt anything bad. It is a comedy staring John Cusack. It was a classic from when [...]

I should have been prepared for my Dlink I-624 router to die after reading several postings on the web about it. Just keeps disconnecting and connecting and is rather annoying. Finally this morning I woke up and couldnt connect. I called COX and they walked me through the troubleshooting steps I already had taken but [...]

I have been asked many times about cheap web hosting. I host using hostonce.com, and they are pretty good. They dont backup anything however and this got me last year when I lost my entire site. It was actually a blessing – the site stunk and opened family photos up to the world. It was [...]

I had an idea based on my previous post. It might not be much but check out www.huberblogs.com. That is Huberblogs with an ‘s’ remember.. Just a copy of the google home page. If you use good this will work just fine for your searches. I think I might change it to default to web. [...]
