Due to scheduled network and server maintenance (in the wee hours this morning) some of you may have had problems getting to my web server. Part of this change required DNS changes too, and so it is possible that some of you may still have difficulty getting to the site for the next few hours (as...

Fake eBay messages have long been favorites of phishers - click on a bogus link and you'll likely go to a fake eBay page that will prompt you for your login and password. We've all seen these before, and I don't fall for them. But today I received a fake eBay message that made me look, and look...

I've been doing this for years, and never a problem. Until yesterday. I usually...

rtePad is a web based rich text editor. If you want to truly be amazed, check out these examples ! It's all client-side JavaScript, so it is back-end independent (and they note that it can indeed be used by ColdFusion).

I live in Michigan. And yes, I know that the name Michigan conjures up images of freezing rain, snow storms, weather shutting down schools and freeways (as well as the automotive industry and unions threatening to go on strike, but that is a separate post). But the fact of the matter is that we get...

We are eBay fans, and have been so for years. We've bought all sorts of stuff on eBay, and have sold a few things too. And we've always been very careful to provide accurate feedback, and have expected accurate feedback in return. But a few months ago we had a less than perfect buying experience....
