Cryptogram #1
In: DevDog
12 Feb 2010So I’m experimenting with a little contest to see how smart my 3 readers actually are. Every couple of weeks I’m going to post a puzzle. They’ll be pretty easy to start off with and get increasingly more difficult as time goes by and I have time.

Today was another day for battle. And an interesting battle it was.
So here is the situation that I was running into. Within my code in the customer portal, I have a notification that [...]

No server restart?
22 Mar 2009I follow quite a few blogs of various people that make headlines and have a coding background. One person in particular that somehow made the list many moons ago that I have failed to remove is Leah Culver. I think it was her ties to the midwest and the fact that she seems [...]

14 Feb 2009With my recent project, I had to do some research for the bits that make up the msRTCSIP-OptionFlags field in Active Directory for OCS users.

The need for speed
28 Jan 2009As I’ve written before, the main engine that we are using to provision users on our Exchange system is Microsoft’s Hosted Messaging and Collaboration (HMC) framework.
I’ve had a few issues with it and various hoops that I have had to jump through. Many of which I have not had a chance to [...]
Hacking Wordpress
27 Jan 2009I’ve been doing quite a bit of side work for friends and family putting together some low traffic ‘business card’ sites. I used to do a lot of custom programming for each of these where I would put up the site and then have a CMS on the back end so they could log [...]
