I used to me a Microsoft zealot.  Now, I let them stab me in the back while they pay my bills.  WTF is he talking about?  Well, this little podcaster/blogger works full-time developing software using Micro$oft technologies.  Hey, it pays the bills.  Lately I’ve been in Samsung Blackjack hell… or is that Microsoft Exchange [...]

Quiet Time

August 29th, 2007 No Comments

August 21st, 2007 No Comments

Well, the short answer: NO. The long answer: maybe. A fellow blogger and podcamp’r sent me this article about such things.

BACN

August 20th, 2007 2 Comments

What is BACN?  Well, SPAM is crap email.  BACN was invented at PodCamp Pittsburgh 2.  It’s better than SPAM!  It’s those annoying emails that you’ve signed up for like Twitter following emails, email list digests, MySpace friend requests, PayPal payment receipts, etc.  They’re things you want to look at but don’t want cluttering your inbox.  [...]
