I was at a recording session a couple of weeks ago and on break, another musician proposed a riddle to me that has been driving me crazy.... I've been thinking it through and have yet to come up with an answer. I'm sure the answer is out there, but I am resiting the urge to "use the Google". I've repeated it to several people and get the same response each time, "Wow, that sounds familiar. I think I've heard that one before." However no one has been able to give a decent answer. Here it … [Read more...]
A Picture A Day – Day 4
Day four. Almost an entire work week keeping moving on the site. We had some Coldfusion woes today at the office, and some Websphere woes, and some programmer woes, and... well people and technology can be difficult. Let's leave it at that. But, if anyone out there has any suggestions for troubleshooting an "Axis fault: Connection refused: connect" error when trying to call a coldfusion web service via <cfinvoke> over https, then I'm all ears! It's not a firewall (there is none … [Read more...]

Hey, these aren't bad questions, right? No, they're perfectly fine. And as such, being the nice guy/gal you are, … [Read more...]

Got an interesting from a friend out of a while back. In her e-mail she asked: My dad, who is 67 and knows nothing about a computer – nothing – is trying to operate my late mother’s Dell, so that he can use the internet. The problem is, Mom had put so many content blocks on it with parental controls that he can’t even get to the google. It prompts him for a password. I have no idea what this password is, and I was able to talk him through to get to the Tools/Internet Options/Content tab … [Read more...]

Welcome Readers!
Hello all, I was planning a post for today... have a couple in mind actually but, like everyday I got distracted. I thought... Hey!...

(and to yours, I'm sure ;-) ) I actually have some readers out there. And this, as you can image, distracted me even further. "Where are these people coming from? Turns out, my site has seen hits … [Read more...]
