I was fighting some design issues on my client's new site. But I found some CSS code that did the trick. I guess the trick is to reset all your tags inside your CSS before starting to implement your own custom attributes. If you have been struggling with getting your CSS to look the same on both your firefox and IE 7 pages. This code snippet will do the trick.

Recently there has been this notion of thinking that ethanol ( made from corn or other plants ) is part of what we call green energy. It is not. Green energy is when you are able to collect energy from something that is already there, but just not harnessed. The only forms of green energy are water, wind, and light. Everything else has to be manufactured and create some sort of waste.

Recently there has been alot of attention on Warren Buffet. He is practically a god in the investment world. He wasn't a trust fund baby like most of the other Billiionaires. He grew his money over time with smart investing. After I worked some numbers I figured out that becoming a Billionaire is really not that hard, just a matter of discipline and a eye for stock trades that will make you money. Check out the figures for yourself.

Steve Ballmer just kicked Jerry Yang's ASS. This goes to show how one company can destroy its competition by just making an offer.

For the longest time I had the wrong definition of what grey listing is. Once I figured out what it really is, and implemented it on my server running SmarterMail 4.x. I saw a huge drop in spam. If you hate spam, this might very well solve all your problems. Read this article for information on how it works and why it works.

I got this recently in an email. Even though its not the most politically correct solution, it is maybe one of the better ones.

I am not a huge fan of precompiling my code into DLL files, Simply because it makes it harder for other to diagnose problems, and trouble shoot your application. Repairs should be possible with notepad if you are desperate. I had a client that called with this exact situation. Their Old Developer was a hard core Visual Studio Man, and all the code was in DLL files. I found a little tool that allows you to open the DLLs and see the source code. Opening DLL files may not be legal in some situations, but in my case it was to help my client get their application back up and running. I was rather impressed with this tool.

If there is one things that developers agree on, its that hackers, and spammers should be hunted down, and
Killed, ( I mean brought to justice ). The guys over at Project Honey Pot are leading the fight against spam. They have setup a HTTP Blacklist that developers can use to validate their visitors IP. The only problem is writing some code to utilize it might be a little advanced for some. I have created an HTTP Module for ASP.NET that will validated your visitors before they get into your site. I even commented my code ( something I usually don't do ), so others can learn. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
