Rocky River Band Plays at UNC Charlotte

Posted Sat, 06/07/2008 - 10:06am by shrop

I had a great time yesterday playing drums with the Rocky River Community Church Band at UNC Charlotte. We played the Staff Picnic for the second year in a row. We were not rained out this year, but the 97 degree heat beat us down pretty bad. We still had a great time and received a warm response from many of the picnic goers. Thanks to my band mates for volunteering to help out by playing at the event.

Gruber wrote a great post about the new fixes for Spaces in OS X 10.5.3. I have been a big fan of Spaces, but have had the same problems with it that many have had. ex: Spaces switching without me wanting them to switch. Check out the article below.

cPanel Update Improves VPS Memory Usage

Posted Wed, 05/28/2008 - 1:19pm by shrop

cPanel just announced a number of changes in the new 11.23 version. The biggest change for my needs is the smaller memory footprint. They are claiming 60% less memory usage. This will really help me a ton as PHP/MySQL sites can eat up some ram. I also like to run as many sites as I can on one server to reduce my overhead costs.

Check out all the details here: http://blog.cpanel.net/?p=51

This update is a RELEASE version. It is not currently in the STABLE update tree.

http://twitter.com/mattparker tipped me off to this cool iPhone app yesterday. IntelliScreen allows you to view upcoming appointments, new emails, new SMS messages, the weather forecast, etc on the "slide to unlock" screen. It is very handy to have this information for quick checks without unlocking your iPhone and opening applications.

Snipplr.com - Storing Your Code Snippets

Posted Mon, 05/26/2008 - 2:59pm by shrop

I have just started using a great web site to save code snippets. www.snipplr.com allows you to save code to share with others and/or to save in a handy location so you can reuse it as needed. When you add a new snippet to Snipplr.com, you can add a title, language, tags, URL and comments, in addition to the source code. You can also choose to keep the code private. If you create a temporary snippet for showing a friend your code, the snippet will expire in 24 hours.
