    So yesterday at work, Will introduced me to a new Firefox add-on. Its called FireFTP. I’m quite impressed with it, and here are a few reasons why: 1) Speed – It loaded the ftp sites pretty darn fast. I was impressed because I know its faster than what I use to use. 2) Run inside…

    Yesterday and today I noticed a problem with my feed creators. It seemed I was getting multiple feeds for each day. I knew partially why this was happening, and that is because my feeds are created by a php page so I created a script that would hit the web page and cause it to…

    When I first started my new job, my boss was telling one of the other guys about a program called “SpaceMonger”. It sounded pretty neat, so I thought I would look into it. I figure this is a good place for me to express how absolutely pleased I am with this program. What SpaceMonger does…

    So for the last couple of days I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the podcast I had created and why it wouldn’t display correctly in Mozilla Thunderbird. I had 3 other podcasts that were showing up great, and this one didn’t. It turned out in the end that the podcast…

    Well… My hope was to praise things that I like in this tech blog, but I have found something that I don’t like. It’s called the Smarty Compiler (http://smarty.php.net/) The idea behind it seems great but I just don’t like how I can’t work with it. Maybe its just that the Bblog software is already…

    So I decided maybe I would write a little note here every couple of days of neat things that I have starting doing, or tricks I found having to do with technology. We will see how long it lasts. But I guess first off… I have been having fun working with this website stuff. I…
