Updated for BlogEngine.NET 1.3! Not a very original name, but I can see how it was created ... Anyways, I'm proud to present another theme for BlogEngine.NET, called MWRT-002. This theme is based upon the template of the same name by MyWebResource, and made available on Open Source Web Design. A zip of the theme can be downloaded from my testing site at JamesRSkemp.net. Download the zip file - for BlogEngine.

#1 comes to us courtesy of Visa If you use cash, people will hate you. (Yes, I did pull out the emphasis.) #2 comes to us courtesy of Wal-Mart If you save money, the best thing you can do is spend that money on something that costs more than you saved.

It's definitely a form email, with some major spacing issue. However, the email itself is pretty concise and to the point. ColdFusion development, in California. I like the first line, "It is time to come out and join the rest of the people escaping the cold." but they clearly don't know me. If anything, I'll move further north :D Thankfully, I'm pretty happy where I am now, although it looks like I'll be pulling in a deal of extra hours this week.

In IIS 6.0, you can setup Application Pools for each of your sites. My knowledge of the exact benefits of this is somewhat lacking, but what I do understand is that these help applications (Web sites) stay within their own bounds, and prevent them from having a bad effect upon each other. For example, if one application is preforming poorly, as long as it's not a server-wide issue, the other sites on the server will be impacted minimally.

Once again, I've changed the template for the site. This time I'm using Royal Flowers. The name comes from the purple flowers (taken outside of Madison Wisconsin's capitol building (see the Galleries for more shots) and that purple usually signifies royalty, or richness. I'm not sure that the left-side navigation has been done the best it could be, but ... overall I'm pretty happy with it.

Note: This article was written using Log Parser 2.2. Therefore, while it may work for a different version, it may not. The following SQL can be used by Log Parser to generate a chart with the total requests (for a day, month, or year) and what percent each status code is of those requests. An example chart can be found at the end of this article. First, I assume that the below is put in the same directory as the logs you would like to parse.

I had previously written on how Netflix shipped and received DVDs, for Madison WI. This article continues that one, by discussing Year 2 with Netflix (first year began September 26, 2006). Plan changes On December 2, 2007, I decided to upgrade to the two at-a-time (unlimited) plan. Since my plan begins on the 10th of each month, that means I had to pay an extra $1.26 to upgrade now, instead of for the next month (I figure this way they'll send a movie out tomorrow morning).

As it promises, Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think: 2nd Edition, is a quick, but extremely usable, guide to Web usability and design. The book took me less than a day to read (less than 3 hours total over the days of September 26 and 27, of 2007), but has become, in my mind, a requirement for even beginners (like myself) of Web design. Since everyone who develops for the Web should have some idea of design and usability, this book should really be a mandatory requirement for said work.

Yes, that's right, my worst fear has come true. Not only did I get a girl pregnant, she also had my baby and is spelling my name wrong. Or, when I signed up for something online, they must have thought that I have a child. Or, Mr. James Skamp had a child. I guess my child is about 12 months old now - I don't know if it's walking yet though - but Huggies seems to think it's using diapers (hence the coupons).
