As the main organize for Silicon Valley Code Camp, I often do small mailings to certain groups of people. I expect that I should be able to send emails to 122 people by simply copying them into my cc field and pressing send.
Well, I did that and after 100, I get the message:

(more…)For the past year or so, I’ve been spending part time learning JavaScript. My reason has been we use ExtJS extensively in my company and it’s written in JavaScript. ExtJS is very object oriented so any book that tries to present JavaScript in an OO fashion is a big help.
(more…)Yesterday, someone asked me if I had a chance to install Windows 7 on my Lenovo W500 notebook computer. Well, I said yet, three times.
It started when Windows 7 Beta came out. My Vista had gotten sufficiently slow that I decided I needed to reinstall something. Being the adventurous type, I decided to give it a go, but with a “goback” plan. My go back plan was to install al the programs on drive C in my 2nd hard drive (in the media bay), then put all my personal data on my built in hard drive. That way, I could easily switch back to vista by simply popping out the removable drive and putting in my vista boot drive.
(more…)This past Thursday evening, my wife Tammy and I went to visit our first platinum sponsor of 2009, Falafel Software in Capitola California. Lino Tadros, Chairman and CEO of Falafel let us use his office for normal working during the day, then we all went out for a great Sushi meal after. Falafel provides high qualtiy software development, consulting and training. We had the chance to see where it all happens.
(more…)I like this term I keep hearing (repaved) which means that I’ve wiped out all the information on my computer and reinstalled the operating system. The interesting thing about the term is that there actually is a term. As a software guy, one of the fears I have is that problems that I might create in my code will so common that they will get a name. That is, is there anyone out there that does not know the term “Blue Screen of Death”. If it did not happen so often, it would not have a name.
(more…)I’ve been a very happy use of Foxmarks over the years for keeping my bookmarks in FireFox up to date. Turns out, they’ve renamed themselves to xmarks I guess so that people don’t assume they just do Firefox.
Basically, the way it works is you create an account on their server, then for firefox you download a plugin, and for IE you download an extension. Like magic, your bookmarks just stay in sync!
(more…)Well, somehow, yesterday when I tried to download from MSDN the latest version of Windows 7, Enterprise was showing as available. I always pick the highest one on the list so I chose that and started to download. It did not finish, and when I started it again, I noticed it did not show again. Frustrated, I posted to my twitter feed that maybe Microsoft had run out.
