Alright, I’ve had about enough of this stuff. Lots of websites incorporate video. Whether they be promotional or advertisements, videos should never be automatically played when the website loads. Just because you think people may want to watch your videos doesn’t mean that they want your videos to automatically start playing.

A client recently requested a quote for a new website. The site required at least five different sections, where the site owner would have the ability to administer the site. The proposal requester mentioned that maybe a blog would be sufficient for the first section. He also suggested that maybe a blog would be sufficient [...]

When dealing with so many clients as I have over the years, and lots of them being primarily Windows users, I’ve come to a point where I can’t stand hearing incorrect definitions of FTP. It seems like Microsoft has incorrectly impressed the idea of FTP in so many of its users’ heads. Many clients and [...]

I used to use Leopard Server for my office. We all had accounts on there, and we used iCal and CalDav so we could all subscribe to a few common calendars. It never worked perfectly. But now we don’t use Leopard Server anymore. It just didn’t really help us out very much.

I recently saw a strange guitar in a local music shop, Blue Ridge Music in Asheville. This guitar had only four strings on it, and it was built to only have four strings. I picked that thing up. It’s called a tenor guitar. I’d never heard of such a thing. A little research revealed that [...]
