Code Camp
Published 28 February 5 1:42 PM | William
I'll be speaking at two different code camps in the near future - the one in Atlanta and the one in Charlotte. Code camp is really cool even though they let people like me talk there - they have to allow the token dork make a speech. If you aren't familiar...

Published 28 February 5 11:43 AM | William
Well, other than the fact I got pics of Paris and some chick because of http://www.t-mobile.com , I really love T-Mobile. When I first moved to Greenville, there were a few spots that weren't covered but overall coverage was great. Then, within two months...

DataReader vs. DataAdapter
Published 26 February 5 12:53 AM | William
I'm totally stoked to see Bill Vaughn blogging because he's 1) Irish 2) named William 3) He's a bad a33. I saw Sahil and Rocky chimed in on this issue - and it's one that I feel like running my big trap about too. In the debate between which to use, there...
HoneyPots?
Published 25 February 5 2:36 PM | William
Considering that lately I'm falling flat on my face in the 'Things I want to do' vs 'Things I actually find time to do' category, the issue of HoneyPots really got my interest up. Just saw Apress is putting out a new book on HoneyPots by Roger Grimes...

The most Disturbing I've seen since the "Gimp" scene in Pulp Fiction.
Published 21 February 5 8:33 PM | William
Ok, assume Pulp Fiction was real life. Who would you rather be, this poor SOB or Marsallus Wallace? Just like the Bobbit case, I'm wondering how far down the chopping went... but I better stop here because the next stream of consciousness is just too...

Google SMS
Published 21 February 5 8:28 PM | William
http://www.google.com/sms/ is just what I needed to start playing with. Now when I'm SMSing and driving - I can also get responses back on things like directions to where I'm going. This will provide the perfect excuse for SMS and Driving

About a week ago, I started playing with Magneto and built my first RSS Reader based on it. BFD. Well the whole thing got me in a Mobile kind of mindset, which is cool because I need to be in that mindset more often. So I decided that I have way too much...

Since it's illegal and all - I would NEVER actually purchase one, but if anyone knows where I can get one of these cell phone jammers , please let me know. This is purely for informative purposes of course since there's some stupid law against selling...
Technological Paradoxes of Phishing Scams
Published 21 February 5 11:44 AM | William
Irrespective of how much I hate the SOB's, I have to give it to the people that create the Phishing Scams and many of the spammers - at least in terms of technology. They definitely come up with some pretty clever mechanisms for pulling off their BS....

--It gets technical - I promise Last night, Kim and I rented Open Water . I actually wanted to see it when it was out in the theatre but didn't get the opportunity. Scuba divers that I've met with very few exceptions tend to be amongst the most annoying...

What's the best music for coding?
Published 18 February 5 5:41 AM | William
Different strokes for different folks - I know. But for me, I usually download the last nights Phil Hendrie Show which is a 3 hour show but usually comes to about 1 hour and 45 minutes b/c commercials are edited out. That usually causes me to start busting...

    Please note that this is my personal blog and the opinions expressed are my own. Also, comment moderation is about one of the least important things in my life so please keep that in mind. I can't vouch for the authenticity of any of the posters so please don't hold me accountable. And whatever you do, don't pretend to be Noted Option Strict Off expert and AspFriend Charles Mark Carroll when you post. Doing so will lead him to become apoplectic and write absurd accusatory posts about me that are as coherent and thought out as they are factually correct. He does a stellar job proving his reputation is well deserved and he doesn't need any help from you making himself look foolish. If I have to listen to him banging his spoon off of his high chair one more time, I'm going to burst into flames so please don't make that happen!
