Went to my local hobby shop to play Hero Clixs yesterday. (For those of you not geekish enough, imagine playing minature soldiers with a lot of rules and dice, then turn the soldiers into comic book characters and put them on a printed map, add objects that superhero's could through around, and u got some good clean fun.) I always lose, but I'm always coming in 2nd, Of course seconds wins you squat, and first place gets you a free figure. Well yesterday it hit me as to why I lose, the game hinges...
Yeah!!!! I'm going to vegas for the 4th of July. Managed to get tickets from NC for $187 a person. (Thanks to travelocity) I'm staying in the Boardwalk hotel. (Not the nicest place, but a great location!) Got that for $75 a night. I'm psyched!!! Any suggestions of things to do (besides gamble *grin*) would be much appreciated! I'm a craps player at heart! ...
I was listening to NPR the other day and they reported about a killer whale that's stuck in a harbor. Evidently the Fishing Department is trying to catch the whale in a large net?? and fly him back to the ocean to get with his pod. (BTW: A pod is a herd of whales, as I understand it *grin*) Anyway, this native american chief happens to die the day the killer whale gets stuck in the harbor. The Cheif tells his people that when he dies he will come back as.... u guess....a killer whale. So the government...
Not much going on in the last few days..but I did manage to do some surfing. Found this unique chat site, you walk in virtual rooms and chat. Unfortunatly it seems to be filled with teens most of the time. http://www.habbohotel.co.uk

So yesterday I come in to work and I have no access to the network. It allows me to login in with my account but when the domain admin tries to login it says “Incorrect Password”. That was very odd! Of course no one knows the local admin password, so I'm stuck! As a none admin around here I don't have permissions to install or even look at my network settings (even though I'ma developer, it was deemed that I did not need that permission, in spite of the fact that I do COM programming,...
In my very humble opinion keeping things simple is wiser. I'm at work and we are debating using a third party active x controll to display info to our users. Now I have nothing against the grid controll we wish to work with, except that it seems to constantly give us problems. (They are loaded with a recordset which is created client side using a variety of protocals (ADO-XML, RDS or XMLHttp). For the most parts these grids look just like HTML tables, so I'm thinking to myself, why not just use server...
I got a 4 year old son, who was addicted to the X-Box for about 2 years. Now he's onto the Game Cube. I ran into this online today. I about fell on the floor laughing. But I'd do the same thing. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBay... found this thanks to Tim (http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/) (Alex, if this is still up when you are older, I will do it, I swear I will! *grinning*) MB...
Why is it that links to Microsoft's site never work? I'm searching google groups for a solution to lil' problem I have, I think I found a perfect answer to the question but the source code has a link to MS.com. I know, even before I click the link, that its gonna be broke. I click, “This content is out of date and has been removed from this page. - Microsoft” (Shaking head) It Never Fails! (*Frustrated*, Walking back to the google search) I don't think I have ever found a link to that...
Firing Up My Blog So I'm finally getting around to starting my Blog. I'm a 26 year old with a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science. I love to programming but I love to design better. (I think that makes me a bit unique, but hey, who cares right) Anyway, I got into programming through games programming. I know have a site UntouchableGames.com where I try to keep all my games located. I also keep info and histories about myself at mobeamer.com My experience lies in PHP, mySql, ASP, and JSP. I did Java...
