What is SQL?
Mar 28th
Had an interesting question at work today… “Steve, on any of your sites, do you have anything that explains what SQL is? I mean, I know its a database or something, but what exactly does that mean?” Now, the guy that asked this question is still young and still pretty new to the IT industry.…
Alan Keyes rips into Obama
Mar 23rd
Quite aside from the constitutional questions regarding Barack Obama’s place of birth, the economic statements from Alan Keyes in this video are very true and something I have been arguing for a long time. You cannot buy debt with money that doesn’t exist! You cannot simply turn around and print a whole heap of paper…
Culling the herd with Russian Roulette

Goodbye Commodore
Mar 9th
The family dog finally succumbed to the cancer on Monday. The vet said he wouldn’t last a weekend, yet he held on nearly 2 weeks so my brother could return from his honeymoon and say goodbye.

Howto: Are you sure? prompt in Outlook
Mar 6th
I had a really bad day at work on Thursday. A client asked me to research something for them regarding Outlook. Ideally they want a server side (Exchange) solution where possible, but given thats not possible, a client side script is necessary. VBScript in Outlook. :-/ Two products I really do not like. But, what…
