RenEvo

So, since I haven’t built out my own website yet for posting personal stuff, this site gets it! Instead of working on some software projects at home, I have decided that it is time to give my office a serious make over. The first step is already in progress....

I love when this happens – not added to the playlist, but all of the sudden my friends band is on my playlist of songs I will like :)   Check them out @ http://stofma.com...

Some fun facts: I am always listening to Pandora . My stations include Chevelle (new rock), White Zombie (older metal), Clint Mansell (soundtracks/classical), and Paul Oakenfold (techno – Does the music frighten you ?) all with a lot of additions to them...

Well, that’s it. I am just going to roll my own, what better way to learn, than to do (paraphrased from “ The only source of knowledge is experience.”   by Albert Einstein ). I have installed ASP.Net MVC 2 , and am downloading Visual Studio 2010...

So I downloaded and installed AtomSite, checked it out, the front end seemed pretty good, the admin section was quite nice, and the plugin architecture seemed… sharepointy… I then took a look at the source code, and seriously decided against it. ...

So, a while back I had mentioned something about creating a site for TomAnderson.me . Originally I was going to write the entire thing from scratch, then release the source, etc… Well, life happens, I don’t have that kind of time, and I want to “get in...

I have disabled new user registration for the time being, as the site is being new user spammed like mad right now....

There are two new themes under development right now by DreamWraith and myself.  You can find them under your user options (dw and beta). Not sure how fast they will be updated, but feel free to check them out. I can’t guarantee they are going to...

Just starting to notice how dated my web site is getting. It has been a few years since I have updated the look and feel of the site. Thinking maybe over the next month or so I might update the look a bit, I don’t think I have the time to do more than...

I still find it amusing to find projects I have released on random pages around the internet.  This one shocked me. Amidst all that advertising is a listing for C&C Far Cry on gamershell.com . (is it gamers hell or gamer shell?)...

So here lately I have been doing some discovery with C++ and C# using mono. Can’t get into the details, but I may build a project in one of my old stomping grounds just to play with. Should be fun to monkey around in some old API’s, but who knows, I might...

Seems that we are experiencing some issues with our SQL server connections, hopefully this will be resolved shortly....

Graphics card has degraded over time (drivers), need to upgrade to a newer generation GeForce 200 series, just having a hard time letting go of the Quadro FX 3500....

After being selected as a “Windows 7 Launch Party Host”, I received my party pack that included a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Signature Edition both in 32 and 64 bit editions. This weekend I took the plunge and upgraded my Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows...

So, it has been a bit since my last post. I have been working pretty hard here lately @ Blizzard . Can’t really talk about what, just tons and tons of C# work. In some “work related” news, Blizzard has just unveiled its completely revamped website and...

So last month about mid-way through I got the message from Pandora ’s online site that my hours were up. In case you didn’t know, due to the final settlement with Pandora and the record companies, they have to limit people to 40 hours a month. Well, I...

No seriously… Don’t wait, get it on the devchannel … *Sorry, added the link....

Here is a quick tutorial for all you Facebook users. It annoyed me that when I added links from my website, the images that were given were “eh” at best, and usually from some random blog post. I had followed a tutorial that I found on using the image_src...

So, it has been a little over a week since my last post, this week has been pretty tight with work. A few things have popped up in the last few days that have finalized some of the design aspects of the website.  For one, I have decided against the...

Recently my media sharing server on Vista Ultimate stopped working and none of my other PC’s, including my PS3, could use it.  After a LOT of digging around I did the following fixes. First, apply this registry fix, as well as download the CCCP codecs....

1: // shitty code 2: using (var toilet = new SewerStream()) 3: { 4: toilet.Write( "lunch" ); 5: if (!toilet.AutoFlush) 6: toilet.Flush(); 7: }...

Full post disclosure Most websites only show a fragment of the posts, not revealing the entire post unless you drill down into the header link or the “read more”. This was one of the first things that I modified into RenEvo to be easier to read new content...

Ok, so I decided to add this bit after watching a great video from Joel Spolsky about the technology used in Stackoverflow . This is not really that far off from my own list, but I wanted to go ahead and include more information and fill it out for myself...

So today I started out the first steps of the new site TomAnderson.me , the first step was to first start the initial ideas and design of the website. In order to achieve this, I am going to have to first decide what I want on the site, and then build...

So today, I got a hair up my bum to figure out where those strange little images come from on YouTube. Turns out, its pretty darn simple. I have only been able to find 4 different ones so far, I am sure there are more, and I am sure there is probably...
