I am excited to announce that I started my new job on October 1st, 2007. The time came for me to move on from Trustco, and begin and new and exciting chapter in my career. I am no longer in a Clarion programming job, but have moved into the .NET world full time. For the […]
I love Google! Today I needed to remember the connection string to a MySQL DB, which I have not used in a good 18 months, so to Google it was, and what a beauty of a site I found! This one is for bookmarking folks: www.connectionstrings.com.
So a bunch of my friends have been nagging me to join Facebook. My reason for avoiding it has been that social networking sites are not top of my priority list, as they are generally untidy, ugly, and a big fat time guzzler. Well, I gave in, and signed up. My thoughts are still the […]
I recently discovered an error on the Colin Crowder Memorial Website, whereby Internet Explorer users would get errors popping up while attempting to post their comments. This issue has been resolved. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Ok, so I have finally given in, and realised that I do not have the time to build my own amazingly awesome wordpress template!
So, I have found this one, by R.J. Kaplan, who built the wordpress version of Luka Cvrk’s design, and I think it’s great. I have modified it slightly, and I am very […]
