Friday Funny – Life Explained

October 27, 2006 By Robert Owen

This little funny was sent to me earlier this week. I thought I'd share it with everyone. It could explain everything. Life Explained: On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So God agreed. On the second day God created the monkey. God said, … [Read more...]

Screen Capture – the easy way

October 25, 2006 By Robert Owen

I've been asked several times lately to recommend a good screen capture program. There are some great capture programs out there... But, most of those asking only needed the most basic of the functions. And luckily Windows already has the function built in. That mysterious print screen button on your keyboard can now be of some use to you.. … [Read more...]

Internet Explorer: IE7

October 19, 2006 By Robert Owen

IE 7 has been officially released. Here are a few of the reported enhancements to the browser: Simplified User Experience: The Internet Explorer 7 frame is reorganized to make it noticeably simpler, more streamlined, and less cluttered with unnecessary items. This maximizes the area of the screen devoted to the webpages that you want to see and makes performing the most common browsing tasks easy.

Friday Funny – a new

October 13, 2006 By Robert Owen

Well... It's been a while since I've had a Friday Funny. I bet most of you thought I'd given up? You know, YouTube is a pretty neat place and that is where this week's FRIDAY FUNNY comes from. My Niece has been wanting an IPOD but, they were so expensive.. This one may bet right in our price range.. Although, it is a little limited. Isn't technology wonderful? Maybe now, everyone will join the IPOD craz.... … [Read more...]

Javascript Countdown

October 13, 2006 By Robert Owen

Not long ago I Blogged about a Coldfusion method for counting down to a specific date. Well, if you don't have access to a coldfusion server for your site, it's pretty easy to add the same function with Javascript. I found this script at: JavaScriptKit It's really simple to modify. Just modify the "var before " and "var current" text to your own text. Then modify the date in the "countdown(yyyy,mm,dd)" statement. Then Place this bit of code in the body where you would like … [Read more...]

Not Coldfusion….

October 10, 2006 By Robert Owen

I'm trying my best to keep things relevant... Well, maybe I'm not. Anyway, as you can tell.. or maybe you can't I don't know, this is yet another Non-Coldfusion, non-Techincal, non-helpful Post.. Hey this blog is "Random" isn't it?!? Well, I've decided to try and improve my picture taking skills. When building websites, you always find yourself in need of some picture or image you don't have. I've never been a good photographer and... well.. these images aren't necessarily good. But The bug … [Read more...]

Life in the 1500’s

October 2, 2006 By Robert Owen

Submitted by: James This is fairly interesting... don't know how true but, interesting: Most people got married in June, because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. … [Read more...]
