Silverlight Dev Camp
Silverlight DevCamp is this Saturday at the Improving Enterprises offices in Dallas. I begged Chris Koenig to let me video intro speaker in the morning and I'm going to hang out a bit and do a little hacking. I'll get the video up on my new Streaming...
Laptop Skinz
I've got some nasty smudges on my laptop where my palms rest. I guess I spend so much time working on my laptop that I've worn off the laptop surface. I've been looking for a sticker like you put on the back of a laptop to put around my keyboard...

I greatly expanded my knowledge of Community Server and especially CSS by trying my hand at building a custom theme for the Community Server extravaganza last week. While working on my entry [ VoteForMeNow ! :) Look for OOTO2K7 ], I found a number of...
Sic Displays!
I just saw an ad for Zenview displays. They've got like 50 configurations of two to seven displays for monitors ranging 17" to 30" each! Check out this setup: I'm not sure how I could use that setup but I'm willing to try. You know...

Two displays - how about two wallpapers?
I got tired of seeing my wallpaper on my second monitor all skewed on my 1024 wide by 1280 tall vertical secondary display so I decided to do a little research and see if anyone had a good way to put a different wallpaper on each display. I think I hit...

Excel Geek
I've become quite the Excel geek. When I joined Telligent, I put together an Excel workbook to help us build quality estimates and I've tweaked and retweaked, ad nauseum. I often browse the "insert function" dialog and read the function...

CS2007 Forums at the Root
In reading the Community Server forums, I saw some questions about using forums at the root. I thought that was a great question. I am running my site with a blog at the root and I've seen several sites where they have deployed a forum at the root...
Technorati Claim
I've been asked by several clients to help them claim their blogs on Technorati . Clients don't want the obnoxious javascript on their site that Technorati tries to inject with their embedded claim and they really don't want to add a "...
Solid State Drives
I posted back in June '06 about a converstation with Rob Howard regarding Vista and hybrid drives. Dell posted recently that they are making solid state drives an option in some of their laptops right now and will soon release an option across all...

Google Analytics - That was easy!
I thought it was about time that I try out Google Analytics and, unlike my foray into playing with Google AdSense, set out to get the scripts embedded right away. I can't believe how easy it was... Go to http://www.google.com/analytics/ Register Copy...
Firefox CSS Style Rules
The IE DevToolbar has a nice DOM model viewer but the tool that comes with Firefox one's it up - a video about CSS development/debugging: [camtasia:FireFoxDOMTools:450:400] In the above video, I discuss the DOM Viewer in the IE DevTollBar and show...
