This is unbelievable. This will be revolutionary if it works. I like it! -JMW Oct 26, 2006

Traffic vs. employees
Craigslist is ugly. No pretty pictures. No flash. Just ugly text. But it is valuable information and oh the efficiency! Look No. 7 in the world and only 23 employees! -JMW Oct 26, 2006

MyFaves from T-Mobile - Unlimited calls to 5 people on any network carrier
This is a first in the cell phone industry. Unlimited calls to 5 of your “fav” peoples no matter what cell phone provider they have (Cingular, T-Mobile, Verison, Sprint, Nextel… all of them). The only catch is that you have to use “myFaves” phone. -JMW Oct 02, 2006

Learn the .NET Framework with Visual Studio 2005 Class Designer
For any OO framework knowing the classes, methods, interfaces (etc) and how they interact and connect to each other is key. Using class documentation is a good way to get firmiliar with it (if it is provide by the authors). But this tool can help alot! -JMW Sep 29, 2006

Want to learn to code right? Look at the MVP example by Bill
I have learned alot from studying Bill McCafferty’s examples at CodeProject. He has a full example here of how to seperate all you layers (M’s V’s P’s) very nicely. -JMW Sep 28, 2006

Dependancy Inversion? What is that? Take a look at this and find out!
A great intro to Dependancy Inversion (or Inversion of Control IoC) and how you can use the “Castle.Windsor” container to accomplish it (did I say that right?). IoC and the Castle.Windsor container are very power, read this and see for yourself! -JMW Sep 23, 2006

Feed2JS is a nice little service that helped me get a little job done quickly. I wanted to make my “Visitors” section on the sidebar (scroll up or down maybe, you’ll see it) look like the rest of my site. Blog Flux Mapstats provides an rss feed of my last 25 visitors (the cities) and with Feed2JS I was able to get some code to use the rss. This gave me more control over how the cities appear below.
Don’t know if everyone will understand what I’m talking about here, but anyway…
Thank you Feed2JS

All these hurricanes have been making me a little nervous. My grandmother lives right near Naples, FL, right where hurricane Wilma hit Florida. Its a good thing she evacuated to Jacksonville. I hope there isn’t too much damage when she gets back.

Here is a great tool to see the paths of the hurricanes…

I hope to speak Spanish fluently one day…
I have taken a few Spanish classes. And I know I could make alot of progress learning if I just memorize words and memorize the conjugation structure.

Here is a great tool for conjugations…
Verbix
This is a very good tool that will give you all the conjugations for a word or verb in Spanish (I think it does other languages too)
