Pink for October
I am planning on doing a quick redesign for the month of October to support breast cancer awareness month. If you are interested in participating check it out. If instead you wish to donate money to the cause make sure to buy a few ribbons, bracelets or any other supporting product. Most importantly get the word out that checking for breast cancer is simple and should be done by all women, get a mammogram.

A few years ago I looked into using a Content Management System (CMS) to develop a site for a friend. At the time there were a few choices including Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, and about a hundred more which you can test at Open Source CMS. Mambo was really the only player that had the needed [...]

The ASP.Net CheckBox and CheckBoxList control don’t allow for the use of the full W3C HTML standard. For some reason Microsoft decided to implement a reduced functionality version that creates more work for the programmer. Come on Microsoft why can’t you follow even the simplest of standards? In this case it would make coding the [...]

I have received a few requests via email and in comments for more detail on how to get your data back after postback with dynamic controls. This evening I started to put together some code examples and mulled over the details of the article in my head. The first step was to re-read my previous [...]

ban comic sans: putting the sans in comic sans
I saw this on reddit today and thought it would amuse a few of you as it did me. I have used Comic Sans on occasion to mimic comic book style in Photoshop and it looks great. The guys at Little Gamers also use it for their [...]
Gravatars – Not on my site

In my Google Reader account I have a few blogs that use the Gravatar icon linking in the comments section. Today I have finally fully decided that I will never (unless something changes) add these to my blog. For weeks now I have been noticing that blogs are loading very slowly and sometimes the comments [...]
Web Apps, Future, whatever

Well I have another strong point to add to my list (which I haven’t written down anywhere yet) of reasons why Web Applications are the best way to go for the future. You can’t trust software these days given the maliciousness of “Black Hat” developers and scammers. We just got the reports about a new [...]
Post-October New Theme

October has come and gone and so down must come the Pink for October theme. I’ve been working on this theme in my spare hours but overall I really like it. Nothing revolutionary, no JavaScript, one Internet Explorer 6- CSS file (gif replacement for the transparent png logo) and yet its a great leap forward [...]
HTML Tags I had never heard of

I recently checked out the source code written by our in-house web designer for the main page of the Housing and Residence website. To my surprise she had used some tags that I initially didn’t believe was valid markup. I quickly realized how wrong I was, kicked my self for my ignorance and set off [...]
Code Control Freaks vs Magic

I am a code control freak. If I don’t understand every aspect of how something works I can’t get comfortable using it. I don’t know a lot of programmers so I don’t know how common this is in the community. At work I program in ASP.Net using Visual Studio 2005, however, I only use it [...]
