Now really… That does sound a bit high doesn’t it? Maybe not when you look at the basis of the numbers. “95 per cent of information technology groups “are not delivering some number of projects on time or to the full satisfaction of the business executive.”” Now that makes more sense. 95% aren’t delivery ALL [...]

First I have been working with, creating modifying and generally entrenched in database design for about the past 7 years. I have been able to experience the sometimes problematic symptom of feeling experiences that causes a person to “fall in love with” the ways that things are currently done. I have gotten into a groove [...]

I have updated the HuberBlog Software to include an ATOM FEED (look to the left). This was much more difficult of a definition to work with than RSS, but I guess that is also its strength. I have been told by a coworker that he has been working on a google.com atom reader which allows [...]

I have updated the Huberblog software with an incremental update. A Blogroll was added to the lower left down there. This is simply a list of blogs that I read or am attached to through teaching. In the future I will add categories which will be supported through OPML as subfolders. I won’t post the [...]

Hardly anyone who isn’t a Baumanns knows that my wifes family is from Indonesia. Well, her father is from Indonesia but is of Dutch descent. So he was part Indo and mostly Dutch. But Dutch by nationality and green carded here in the US. The family owned tobacco plantations in Indonesia and was very successful. [...]

I am asked regularly by coworkers, colleagues, and students “How do you make those video tutorials?” (http://www.jasncab.com/devry/cis410 Well I used to use RiverPast’s software called screenrecorder. This was about $50 if I remember correctly and it allowed me to record to any number of formats and compressions etc. I have found that I like the [...]

This guy placed an RFID chip in his hand so that he could open his car doors and his house would unlock for him etc. I am thinking it is a little extreme. Why not just devise a bracelet for the same effect? Why bother with actually placing it in your hand. Check it out [...]

Well the doctors were wrong. In february I had posted: http://www.huberstyle.com//viewblog.aspx?blogid=37 And we were so excited. Well early in March Carol was told that the baby was not viable. She was told there was actually no baby, and she should quickly go in for a DNC. We were really being tested. Carol was rather upset [...]

I was reading blogs.msdn.com (again) and Alex Barnett was talking about how he isnt on the RSS band wagon yet.http://blogs.msdn.com/alexbarn/archive/2005/03/19/399078.aspx Well I decided I should be more on it. So I added an RSS feed for my videos for CIS410 as well as CIS349. You can syndicate them by checking here:http://www.jasncab.com/DeVry/cis349/rss.aspxhttp://www.jasncab.com/DeVry/cis410/rss.aspx I have validated them [...]

Recently in my CIS 349 class I offerred the students a deal. Start a blog, post to it throughout the course and I will give back 1 assignment worth of points. Any deficiency will be updated to full credit. I did this because I think blogging is a great way to get your name out [...]

So my family and I decided to take the boat out this weekend to lake Pleasant, AZ. It was supposed to be a little windy, but nothing spectacular. When we got to the lake it was extremely windy and we knew after stepping out of the truck we werent going to be unloading the boat. [...]

A question I hear a lot and a problem I see a lot is related to Foreign Keys and the constraints that are placed on the field when it is a Foreign Key. There are several types of constraints that we will place on fields when we are creating our database. Things such as NOT [...]

So I was browsing blogs.msdn.com as usual about 10 times a day and I got: Which is the same thing we will all see many times during devlopment. In this case they might not have wanted to, but usualy my students are stumped at this error and simply neglect to follow the instructions… Just go [...]

I needed to insert the comments(0) tag at the bottom of each repeated row. The 0 part of the comments is based on a db query and is based on the blogid. I realize I could have rewritten my SQL so that the comments was selected as a row and I would have continued with [...]

This is pretty cool. If you are presenting a subject using Virtual PC you no longer need to switch between the PPT and the application window. It will be interesting to see how this will work with the overhead projector in some situations since my video card drivers like to take control of video and [...]
