GoDaddy Rocks!

Last night I received a call from “Steve” at GoDaddy. This is where I purchase a bulk of my website domains from and have been content with their service in the past. To be fair, I have never had any issues with them and have never used their support. I figured “Steve” was going to […]

Visual Studio 2005 Express not so mobile

I’ve been playing around with Visual Studio 2005 Express building and proto-typing some client applications. After I had the first application almost ready to go to production (ie: change the database string to use my in house SQL server instead of the local database I was building the project with), I noticed one big problem: […]
