Being a webmaster for over two years, I have found a wealth of free software such as editors, scripts, etc. to make your coding life easier! I have used all these scripts and programs when designing and maintaining my own websites.

Through my years on the Internet & using Windows, I have found tons of useful software that is also free. All of the software in here have been used by me personally. I also recommend checking out The Open CD for more ideas. Enjoy!

Forums (message boards, etc) can be a great way to promote your company and/or website. As most of us know, forums need moderation to protect it against spammers, trolls, etc. Although moderation is necessary, the forums need to still maintain a level of transparency and integrity. The point of me writing this entry is that I came across a site’s support forums that left me so biased, I decided to stop using this piece of software altogether.

Is your phpBB board being overridden by spam? Most people may recommend that you go to their support forums and install a couple modifications, but what if they don’t work? The answer to that question is simple. All common solutions will not work. If someone puts out a common solution, the spam bots will adapt to it. Spam bots have adapted to captacha images, email verification, and other common defenses. Fortunately, the answer is simple, all you have to do is be unique. I will give you one tip on how you can do that and keep the spam bots at bay.

Ever since ’06, I have had a copy of GNU/Linux on my computer, and within weeks, I was using it as my default operating system. Ever since then, I have been reading more and more articles on what MS has been doing to “secure” their market, especially with Vista and MS Office 2007’s recent release. If you are a windows user (most of you all are), I suggest you read this to find out more about the company that you are supporting.

If you actively use email like me, you have been receiving those stupid stock alerts. They claim “investors finally valued the product and started to invest” and “WE Will Just start it’s EXPLOTION. Market will make itself the rest”. I have noticed that these emails have suddenly come to a screaming halt…why? It turns out that the federal Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading on the penny stocks that were hyped up through SPAM. It’s about time.

I think Target should choose their keywords more wisely…

This was something I wrote up for a class. I thought it was worth posting in here. In a nutshell, I do believe that violent video games affect children, and I also believe that it is the parent’s responsibility to moderate this activity.

This is one of the snippets that that I designed for Pivot.
Working with computer software since my sophomore year in high school, I have learned VB 6.0, C++, C++.NET, Java, HTML & CSS, Javascript, PHP & MySQL, and Oracle. Yes, I know that HTML is technically not a programming language - but I know the syntax. I am very familiar with Windows and Linux, but not Mac.
I have been freelancing since 2005 and been working in the IT department of a company with ~10k computer users since early 2009.
