Last night's game was one of those really exciting games. Up by 10, down by 10, etc. Last minute down by one and pulling out a win. With a few seconds left on the clock we drove, dished, scored and got fouled. Three point play...
I have always been a Microsoft windows user. I am now looking to buy a new laptop. I have heard some great things about Macs. I am seriously considering buying the PowerBook G4. It'll be an adjustment for me one that is probably well worthwhile.
We played our first game last night against Tuvia's and we beat them 80 to 71. Benjy Tilson was our lead scorer with 27 points. Our defense was solid but our offense needs some work. Our next game is Wednesday night at 7:45 against Bubba's Bagels. Bubba's Bagels has a 2 and 0 record. Stay tuned. :)
I've decided to buy the new PowerBook G4 15" Apple laptop today. My current PowerBook G4 will be sold and it currently retails at about $1,300, not bad for a 1.5 year old computer. It runs fine, I am just a sucker for new machines with added features...
A few days ago, one of my wife's friends called me with a computer issue. Her machine was taking a very long time to load and wasn't working very well. She has a 1.8 GHz Dell running Windows XP. She was also getting these annoying pop-ups. So I went by and did my usual "slow machine maintenance" routine...

A couple days ago,
A client wanted to have his products broken down into sub categories. Instead of creating Tables for each layer (i.e. a sub category table) I created a single table with a parent id field which points to the id of the parent category (which is the primary key on this same table)...
After a mediocre first season for the first RustyBrick basketball, being in 3rd place of a total of five teams, the
How many of you out there have phone number fields without any validation or formatting? I did. Today, I wrote a script to go through a database of contacts and "clean up" phone numbers and fax numbers. The script works as follows:
We finally got the Symantec VPN working with Mac OS X. Symantec sent us a beta firmware update that seemed to do the trick. Here are the instructions on setting up the Mac OS 10.3 VaporSec VPN client to work with the Symantec Firewall/VPN 200R model. 1. Download the VaporSec software from
A client came over today and we had a long discussion on how to build a module on to his current application that will help him managed his campaigns for each group of prospects his company targets. Currently we set certain canned but yet customized responses to occur on a set interval through cron jobs...
I decided to try out placing a top place banner ad in
I got an email last night from the company and author who wrote
Today was my intro to HTML emailing. The task at hand was too take a previous RTF attachment and convert it into HTML so it could be faxed via a Email-to-fax service. This in itself isn't the catch. The real catch was that the RTF's are generated totally dynamically so the HTML has to be able to do that as well...
This is the first entry in the RustyBrick Web Technology Weblog, so let me explain its purpose. The blog is to give the RustyBrick development team and others involved in the development team an opportunity to post on ideas, occurrences and other events that occur in the life of a RustyBrick Web Developer...
