So Star Trek fantasy is one step closer to reality…

Anyone who’s ever seen the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home will remember that fantastic scene in which James Doohan has that great interaction with a computer:

[faced with a 20th century computer]
Scotty: Computer. Computer?
[Bones hands him a mouse and he speaks into it]
Scotty: Hello, computer.
Dr. Nichols: Just use the keyboard.
Scotty: Keyboard. How quaint.

And what [...]

So the past and present aren’t that different…

It’s funny isn’t it? The world goes around and around, and some people grow, others fall down, and others still get kicked down to the bottom. Lately I’ve gotten some e-mail from an old friend who I found out is now a single mother. *sigh* I swear, just when you think someone is [...]

So what I really need is some good Salmon…

I went out shopping last weekend with my grandmother as she was out for a visit, and we did a LOT of grocery shopping. What was the one thing I could really go for we didn’t get? Some salmon. Course, living in northern Idaho, finding said salmon isn’t exactly the easiest thing in [...]

So it’s been a while, but a good while…

Yea, it’s been a while since I posted something here, however I’m working on that (yes, I know I’ve said that in the past, but hey, baby steps folks). I visited the site today, and realized how lame my header images looked, so I spruced them up a bit, in preparation for bigger things [...]

Dynamic Images

Ever since I added them to my website, they’ve probably been the number 1 most requested item to be turned into a tutorial, so here I am making good on all my promises, and teaching people how to create Dynamically Generated images using nothing but PHP, the GD libraries, and some good ol’ fashion know [...]

W3C Standards Vs IE

If there is anything that’s more annoying in the CSS universe, I don’t know what it is. CSS is a very simple tool for the most part that can be used to create some very complex results. However, when it comes to the way that Internet Explorer (IE) handles stylesheets versus every other browser on [...]

Tables No More

Well, first and foremost I’d like to congratulate you on beginning reading this article. Why? Because if you’re reading this, then you must already be willing to take that first step in ridding yourself of “Table Hell.” Not only does this article teach you the basics of how to get your site designed without the [...]

A Brief History

In the beginning, websites were a simple affair consisting of long straight forward pages which you had to scroll quite a ways to be able to get to the navigation of the site. And you know what? It worked for the time. Then came frames, and it seemed as though frames would become the be [...]

Firewalls

Ahh yes, Firewalls, end users all to often get these visions of this great flaming pire which is impossible to break thru unless you know the secret code word, and are surrounded by a +10 ice shield. To many people think these little marvels are the be-all-end-all of securing your system, so much so that [...]

System Security

System Security was so much simplier back in the days of Windows 3.11, DOS, and the 14.4kbps modem (if you were lucky). All you had to do was have a simple anti-virus software package (McAfee had lifetime updates that really worked well), and boom, you had yourself a secure computer. But oh have times changed [...]
