Today was the annual Daddy-Daughter dance, and they had a Western theme this year. Enjoy this one; you won't find me in boots and a cowboy hat all that often (although as of yesterday, I own a pair of cowboy boots, so I suspect that'll be more common than it was in the before time).

Although this article may help me do one of [...]
Marcus Tucker has some great ASP code snippets on his blog. In particular, I borrowed some bits from his Old dog…new tricks post to build a remote API system into ASP…something like a low-budget SOAP implementation.
Every now and then you run across a thorny issue and you're just not sure how to solve it. That's when it's time to forget about it. Really. I've found that I do my best work on a knotty problem by ignoring it…just tucking it away in my subconscious mind and letting it roll around [...]
