I was messing around looking at general open source projects out now, and came across an amazing site.  Open Web Messenger does the job of enterprise support chat clients, but it is free!  I at one point looked into adding this functionality to a client website but they didn’t want to pay the $20 / [...]

My Aunt Sydney told my mom about this website that is set up as a “donation” website, however, it goes one step further.
The donation you make… gets repaid.  The donation is actually combined with other donations to become a small business loan to entrepreneurs in developing countries.  What a fantastic idea!
Kiva.org allows you to, through [...]

I am working on a system that will automatically check email addresses at a specified interval using CRON on a linux machine.  I have my web server available for just such a task, but there has to be a way to easily access POP3 web servers through PHP, right?
My initial searches didn’t come up with [...]

So I have a client based in Waltham, MA who is very particular about the work we’ve been doing for her.
It makes sense, and she should get the work how she wants it done, of course.  But as contractors, it can become a bit frustrating!
But, we made a script which runs at 5pm each day [...]

So I manage another wordpress blog for a local publication and inherited it from another designer.  They use a third party hosting provider that shares the server with multiple (who knows how many) other websites.
They were excluded from Google for having bad links in their website (a virus had installed links inside their website!).  I [...]

The Wall Street Journal today reported that Open Source software is enforceable under copyright law.  A man named Robert Jacobsen, a model-train enthusiast, put some software code online that he had written to apparently control his model train set.  Someone, named Matthew Katzer, down the road took his code that he placed online and formed [...]

So I was reading my gmail the other day and got an email from a guy’s website that I had visited a while back, that teaches about personal finance.  I decided to sign up for his newsletter just to try it out.  His emails were quite ineffective at first, so I just deleted them usually [...]

I was poking around the internet and found the website FreelanceSwitch.com.  The site is really interesting, and discusses different ways of being able to switch from the full-time gig to making your own money by freelancing your services.  I urge you to check out the site.
The specific article I was looking at was speaking about [...]

So i have a side project that i’m working on, a wireless OBD-II scanner.  It’s pretty interesting and I have some guidence from a professor at WPI.  The wireless unit I chose to work with is the XBee PRO.  This thing is solid.  The development kit ($179) came with everything I needed to get started [...]

Browsing the internet the other day, I found this awesome webpage that is more specific than any other resource I’ve ever found on Samba configuration.  The page looks a little sketchy, but I was impressed with the level of detail that the site had, and how specific everything was.
If you are having a hard time [...]
