When I heard that volunteers were needed for the upcoming West Michigan .NET University seminar, more info at the end of this post, I thought to myself that it was high-time I got involved in the local development community.  After the first kickoff meeting, I decided that I’d help out by presenting one of the [...]

So I’ve updated my Twitter Fantastico script, features include:

Retweet Functionality:  Next to each tweet is a new icon, “RT”, clicking it will open an embedded form below that tweet. You can modify and retweet without refreshing the page through jQuery’s AJAX functionality.
Embedded Reply: Clicking the reply button opens an embedded form below that tweet. You [...]

I’m looking at creating a new Greasemonkey script that uses jQuery throughout, more so than my previous script attempts.  It’ll be geared towards Twitter, once again, and it will be combining a few of my favorite features of other scripts:

“Endless Tweets”: This feature allows for “endless” scrolling on the main Twitter home page. No more [...]

I’ve once again updated the Twitter Enhancements: Retweet script, by adding a dialog box when retweeting. Previously, you had to be on Twitter’s home page in order to use my updated Retweet, with AJAX functionality.  Now, you can be on any twitter page (aside from the Direct Messages page) and click the Retweet button.

It’s been on my mind a lot more as of late, “I’ve always wanted to develop games, but, is it a possible business venture in West Michigan?”  And when I think about it, I don’t want to be a company that pumps out BeJeweled clones, or, 32 card-games in one.  I’d be more interested in [...]

I threw it out to Twitter moments ago, but thought I’d write up the deets here.   I’m looking for an online, serial/cd-key storage site where I can log in, and store all the cd-keys that I own, similar to online password managers.  It’d be nice to categorize them, etc, and be able to even text [...]

I’ve been playing a lot of Fallout 3 lately, and it’s every bit as good as Oblivion and then some (Oblivion + Guns = Crazy Delicious).  My character isn’t all that good at computer-terminal hacking, so I decided to create a little Ruby script to help me out.  The script asks for all [...]

As of yesterday, I decided it was high-time I check out what the hub-bub was all about conerning Ruby on Rails.  I did a Google search for “ruby on rails osx” and found a document on Apple’s dev site, found here.  Downloading and updating the compents was a breeze via the command prompt, and that [...]

Since my first post, I’ve been tinkering a bit more with Lucene.Net.  I’ve added a few more columns to index, determined that a SimpleAnalyzer would fit my needs by tokenizing every word by not removing “stop words”, and I’ve created a Windows Service to do a multi-threaded index of my 350,106 rows [...]
