Every single hard drive ever made, will fail one day. Maybe it’s lasted a long time, but at some point, it will happen. If your data isn’t backed up somewhere, all your important documents, photos, music files, projects, and important business forms will all be lost. Then you’ll probably have to pay a data recovery…
Christmas Countdown: 4 Days Left
So today’s the long night of driving (5 hours, for those of you just joining us) from here to my parents’ house. Ever since I’ve been back at the university (I lived in Virginia for a year), I’ve had second-hand furniture (minus my computer desk) and slept on a couple mattresses up on a homemade…
Trade Shows and Vendor Fairs
Earlier this month, I was at (and incidentally, blogged from) the UNC CAUSE conference in Asheville, NC. There was a great deal of hoopla in the vendor display area. They all had tables set up, freebies to give out, and contests to win iPod shuffles or GPS units or Direct TV DVRs. My official title…

Five Hour Drives
Tomorrow evening after work, I have a five hour drive most of the way across North Carolina to go home to see my parents and family for the holidays. I have a whole week off work, which is nice. I just wish I could instantly teleport there. That’d be nice. Santa, as a Christmas gift…
Inventory & Dealer Software
Every business that sells anything tangible needs inventory management. You can’t possibly expect to keep up with demand for your product, ship orders, and know when you need to order more product or supplies to make your product if you don’t know what inventory levels are at. You need reporting, charts, and alerts to keep…
Music is My Girlfriend
In college I was a Communicatons major, and I eventually graduated with a B.S. in Communications with a minor in Computer Science. My concentration in college was Electronic Media with an emphasis on TV & Radio. My favorite course was radio production, simply because I love matching up music with words to set a tone…
Need a Vacation? Take a Walk in Ireland
I’m not normally one to think of a walk as a good idea for a vacation. I think that’s because I’m pretty lazy. But if there’s good motivation, sure, I’ll go for a walk. For example, if a beautiful woman wanted to go, I’d totally be up for it. If there was a beautiful sight…
Resident Evil: Degeneration
So the next movie in the line of “Resident Evil” films is going to be called “Resident Evil: Degeneration” and is going to be entirely done in CG. Fans of the video game will delight in seeing characters more closely resemble the in-game characters, rather than trying to find actors that are similar looking. A…
