The $64 String...

posted Monday, October 20, 2008 2:01 PM by mitchell
With apologies to the game show... I was working on a cryptography project, and, without going into detail (it's SECRET, duh), I was having some issues. The other party sent me their test key in a text file, and it was Base64 encoded. Naturally, being Read More

Cruisin' Right Along

posted Tuesday, October 31, 2006 11:59 AM by mitchell
I've been playing with CruiseControl.NET for the last couple of days. Let me just say that it's very cool. Once you get around the learning curve of how to set up a project, it's ridiculously easy to use. So far, I've only used an MSBuild task. Next step Read More

posted Friday, October 27, 2006 11:44 AM by mitchell
This is my first post to this blog with Windows Live Writer (which is currently in beta). I figured that since I used Google Docs a week or so ago, I'd give this a try. It occurred to me that it would be convenient to have an offline application Read More

Guidance Automation Unistall Issues

posted Thursday, August 10, 2006 9:11 AM by mitchell
BEWARE! I just spent half an hour cleaning out my registry because the GAT, GAX, and WSE Policy Advisor wouldn't uninstall. I'm still unclear about whether it's an issue with the uninstallers themselves or because I started out of order, but be careful. Read More

AdSense by Google

posted Sunday, May 14, 2006 8:46 PM by mitchell
I just signed up for Google's AdSense as an experiment in seeing (a) how easy it is to setup and (b) whether or not it's worth it. I'm fairly sure that the readership on this site isn't really going to push the limits on Google's bank account, but, if Read More

Vista on Virtual PC

posted Monday, December 12, 2005 2:25 PM by mitchell
So, I tried installing Vista on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004. After an initial hiccup, everything was installed...but it ran dog slow. I'm fairly sure that my hardware just isn't up to spec to run it in a virtual environment. So I guess Tablet PC's can't Read More

Disc Drive Filters

posted Thursday, November 24, 2005 12:26 PM by mitchell
I'm a little peeved this fine Thanksgiving morning. I downloaded some music yesterday and tried to put it on my MP3 player. Naturally, it wouldn't run because it was DRM protected. After a little research, I found out that if I had the right plug-in, Read More
