I’ve been asked by a couple people recently about option for coding a calendar function into their websites. While I do like to earn good money and make a handsome profit I feel that coding for the sake of it is not an option. There are so many services and online systems available these days that […]

ASP.NET Machine Generated Code
I just started working with a new client in Port Charlotte. They have had a website built by a company in Tampa and how now parted company with that company, so to speak. So I pick up this system and start to go through the coding and it’s build etc, trying to get up to […]
Asynchronus Socket Programming
I’ve recently done some TCP/IP socket programming. The .Net framework provides a some nice features for making asynchronus program calls. One of the most robust is TCP/IP Sockets. It can be quite confusing at first to understand the way an asynchronous call and callback mechanism works. I find it easier to understand when I look […]
Visual Studio 2008
I’ve recently installed Visual Studio 2008 and related software. I was hoping to upgrade and start developing in it as soon as possible. I’ve generally always been an early adopter, but didn’t move to Visual Studio 2005 until quite late in it’s life cycle. I’ve since decided that was a mistake. It’s far better to […]
Auto Insurance Affiliate Website
I’ve just put up an Auto Insurance affiliate website, working with some partners of mine. We’ve decided to see if we can get enough low cost traffic using Google Adwords PPC. We are in the conversion testing phase at the moment. The cost per click for US based Google traffic is rising quite sharply, so […]
Parsing Google Maps HTML
If you cannot afford 10 grand for an enterprise version of the Google Maps API, then you might be stuck having to parse the html form the clunky old maps.google.com website. If that is the case, here’s a snippet of code that seems to work consistently to parse out the lat and lon from the […]
Essential Objects – Treeview
I’ve just finished a web project that I used the Essential Objects TreeView control. I had thought initially that it would be relatively easy to configure. I’ve used a number of Essential Objects controls before and always found them fairly intuitive to use. However, the TreeView was anything but intuitive. At the designer level it […]
Visual Studio 2005 Upgrade
When I first installed VS 2005 I did so with a version prior to SP1. This created a problem for me when I tried to upgrade a project from VS2003 to VS2005. I didn’t know that Microsoft had created a new “website” project template, which had replaced the 2003 web application. The first point to […]
Bulletin Boards / Membership Site Systems
I’ve been looking at some bulletin board systems recently. I want something that I can easily integrate into existing sites and new sites that I’m putting up. I looked at phpBB which has been around for a while and seems to be well liked. It’s also free, which is nice… I was toying with the […]
The Joys Of XML
I’m currently working on a project that requires posting and reading response online using XML. I’m not talking about web services here, it’s a plain old POST of an XML file, response is returned as copious amounts of XML, read that and build a web form based on the contents (yawn), have website user make […]
