I was helping a client yesterday set up a VPN tunnel only to have it constantly disconnected. The client was located outside of the country.

Completely off topic.. Just a personal note.
My bird said her first words today. Ironically, they weren’t “I love you” which I was trying to teach her, but rather… “RTFM”.. How Ironic. I have no idea where she picked it up, but it’s clear she did from somewhere. She also hums along to the music that make my heart hurt. Whenever the…
Database Backed Web Applications Advice
Here’s the scenario. You’ve got a dedicated server running windows in a server farm (generic dedicated server provider). You have mysql + asp or php app running all on the same server. Raid 1 mirroring and 2 GB of ram. You have to have windows, because your application supports it. Sound Familiar? It’s a problem…

Well.. It turns out Kickstarter turned down my project for helping the unemployed.
Interestingly enough, Kickstarter turned down my project, citing the reason, “Self-Help” violates their terms and conditions for projects. I did, however get to startsomegood.com and got the project approved. I just didn’t think the folks at Kickstarter would view a book about helping people cope with unemployment in the current economy would be a bad…
The Perfect Home Office.
I’ve struggled with that question in the past. I can say truthfully that having both was a royal pain in the butt. Keeping data synced wasn’t fun, nor was the electricity bill. Me being me always had the solution so it was never a big deal to just vpn into my home network to get…
