I was due for a site software update, so I decided to modify the site as a whole. My main goal was simplification and to improve on usability. As I went through the visual-template code, I also attempted to improve execution speed by minimizing include files and removing unnecessary features. 1. Minimize the website banner…
I’ve been working on a personal project with a friend for quite a while now. To make a long story short it deals with loading/editing/saving large quantities of public geographic data. Lately we have been throwing around the idea of having our database server’s OS in Linux instead of Windows 2000. Which brings me to…
I’ve been interested lately in using virtualization to setup a “computer” to do local web development on. I’m looking to configure it it closely as possible to my paid hosting, so that it will be as easy as possible when I take a project and migrate it over to to the host. If you haven’t…

The program I was writing the macro for requires some registry entries, so I assumed that was all I needed to do. After about 2…
I’ve been working on a program that needs to parse a html file for form data. So when I was deciding what method to use, a few popped right into my mind. The first being a character by character search through the string. Parsing through the data and flagging sections that fit the signature of…
Edit: I’m having some issues with a second tutorial, so at this point I don’t think this process below is correct. 2nd Edit: This code should work fine, the issue was when I started using COM objects from Esprit. There are a few gotchas that need to be taken care of. I think the primary…
