I have a firewire device that I want to be able to share between two computers (without having to unplug it every single time). The firewire device is an audio interface that's physically mounted to my desk in a rack. Is there a switch of some kind that would allow me to hook up one device to two host computers? Anyone seen anything like this? Thanks

Merry Christmas To Me... We finally took the plunge and bought a MacPro. It's the slimmed down model, but I plan to add a bunch of memory. I'll be installing Server 2003 on Boot Camp tomorrow. See how that goes. I've been hearing that Boot Camp is running Windows much faster than any PC... We'll see

SQL Reporting Services has a really annoying "feature" that essentially removes all leading spaces from a field, when rendering a report to the ReportViewer control. You cannot use  , You cannot use space(5), etc. But, if you need to do leading spaces, you can set a formula in the padding field of the cell. Fantastic

I have been recently (and unfortunately) forced to go to IE7 by my computer. The details behind it are not important to this post, as I can do most of the things I need to in FF anyway (and much prefer it). I prefer IE6 to IE7. After having been in IE7 for a week now, there is one incredibly irritating "feature." Links that open in new windows don't open in new tabs (which would be the expected behavior of a tabbed browser. It works in FF, Safari, etc. Why didn't MS get this right the first time?...

Does this ever happen to you? I was just a few minutes ago, working through a problem with sorting custom classes. I know that I did this before, but couldn't remember what I did. So, I popped a few search terms into Google, and came across a potential solution. Then I looked a little more carefully at the blog, and realized that the solution I found was mine... A year and a half ago... http://geekswithblogs.net/k...

For more than 5 years now, Apple has used buzzwords like "stylish", "sleek", "elegant" to stress the design of their products. I think that in the early 00's they realized that not only are people looking for functional stuff, they're looking for sexy stuff. And, for the average user of their stuff, being sexy was much more important than being functional. Oh, yeah, and they were ahead of the game with their technology. “The competition hasn’t even caught up with our first generation iPod, and we’re...

I was one of the ones who jumped on the AJAX bandwagon pretty quickly. I've built several private apps using AJAX, and really like it. I like the fact that the web becomes more "rich," and more closely resembles forms in functionality. The gains are enormous. That having been said, I found myself asking the question: Is it worth it? I've found (so far) that doing things with AJAX takes at least three times longer, there's much more room for error, and cross-browser issues are brought to the forefront....
