I recently moved to a more concise Outlook folder structure: So then I started spending a lot of time simply moving messages from the inbox to the archived folder. Also when I read a message and move it, it was not marked as read. I hated wasting those precious 2 seconds So I googled something [...]

I had a request from a student to show how to connect to a SQLLite db from C#. It turns out it is pretty straight forward. You just need a few tools. I will list what I find here: .NET ADO SQLLite components: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlite-dotnet2/ Great tutorial: http://adodotnetsqlite.sourceforge.net/ SQLLite Browser: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

Yet another use of dropbox I use it to back up my server… First I installed dropbox on my server. Free account using an email from one of the domains on that server. I could not use my primary account since everything on that account would also end up on my server. That is not [...]

Today I had a student call me on my google voice number and tell me that his laptop would not start up with video. Nothing on the screen. He even tried to hook it to a TV and there was nothing coming out. Video card seemed to be toast. No big deal? Normally this would [...]
