I haven’t had the chance to update lately (by lately I mean this week really) because my grandfather has passed away. He was a great guy and I loved him. I just hope that he’s happier now than he was for his last few days on earth. That was the bad news, but he was a great guy and I am better for knowing him. The good news is that I’m really motivated to get some new series under way. The underlying idea when I made WTFNext was that I’ve seen so many tutorials that I’ve felt were incomplete or could ......
Recently I posted to ask what’s a good beginner programmer’s book, and I haven’t gotten any immediate response. Now I know that the post hasn’t had time to gestate, but usually from prior posts I do get responses first day. Ultimately, I think that the reason I’m not getting feedback is because some people are self-taught, and dug through the code and uncovered answers for themselves, some people are class taught, having great instructors that made the information make sense, and not many people ......
Here we are at part two of the Custom Code Snippet Series. In the previous part we covered how to make your own snippet by creating an XML .snippet file and adding to it the necessary content to get a custom snippet up and running. This time around, we’re going to cover the “Easy” method of creating custom code snippets: through a GUI. Thankfully, the MSDN itself has a Code Snippet Editor for both Visual Basic 2005 and 2008 available at the following links. This tutorial will make use of the Visual ......
Here we are at the second week's task for the Manhattan Project: switching the user's database to MSSQL instead of SQLite. I'll be honest, there weren't any valuable resources I found for assistance in the creation of this tutorial. Mostly it was a combination of Try / Fail and guessing based on what I saw in the code for the MSSQL dll in the project. I might say that there weren't resources, but what I mostly mean is no tutorial. There are some .sql files to help get the database started, but that's ......
Now that the Manhattan Project has taken its first few baby steps, I think it would be best if I made a series of tutorials for those who want to keep up with the happenings, but might have lagged behind. This is the first in a large series of tutorials that I (and all those involved) want to have available to help those who have a little trouble getting started. To get some things straight, at least for myself, OpenSim is not a client for Second Life (I swear, this is what I thought before I got ......
An obligatory w00t for proper DNS functionality on the new site. Now, you can either make your way to this website from http://www.WTFNext.com or you can go through http://www.geekswithblogs.net and find my link on the sidebar. So far I'm enjoying the freedom and I'm excited about the possibilities. I will be looking into blogging solutions that I can use outside of the web (gasp, people still use desktop applications??!?), and I do hope for a solution that will allow me to email content updates ......
Hey all, So here I go, to make my blog more effective, less costly, and overall updated more frequently, I am relocating. You don't have to relocate so much, the website still has the same address. Just in the background I'll be fueled by geekswithblogs, providing myself a free blog hosting service that focuses on operability and overall freedom, without me having to write it all personally. There will be some changes to how the blog operates because of this. 1. No more specific sectioning for tutorials. ......
