My how time flies. It happened with little fanfare, but KC turned seven on April 1st, 2007. I’m quite amazed it has made it so far for so long. Kudos goes to everyone who made it possible, especially the members! The next iteration of KC has been in the works for several years now, and [...]
I’m in San Jose at the moment for the 360Flex conference at eBay’s headquarters. The event is going to run from Monday through Wednesday. NPOWR is going to be looking for Flex/Flash talent, so make sure to say hello!
I found out last night that my company, NPOWR Digital Media, has won an Emmy! It’s great to finally see that the technology I’ve been pouring blood, sweat, and tears into for the past year has finally received recognition and validation. The company itself has been building the idea for at least five years now, [...]

If you’ve ever needed to ensure that users are accessing a folder using SSL, you can use the following mod_rewrite snippet to achieve this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
I’ve noticed that my Google Mail account has been doing a great job of filtering spam mail, nabbing e-mail that SpamAssassin hasn’t been able to tag so I figured I might just use Google Mail as the filtering engine for all my mail. What I have done is forward all my e-mail addresses and aliases [...]
I’m not really sure where to begin with this one. Today, I got an e-mail from one WebnameSolution suggesting a ransom for a domain name I had backordered from GoDaddy.com. Herein lies the e-mail:
Limited Time Offer…!!!
The domain name [deleted] is for sale exclusively by webnamesolution.com. Hurry and take advantage of this limited [...]
