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 / [...]

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 [...]

There’s a great new website which covers restaurants in the Worcester, MA area.  It offers dining reviews, locations, maps, pictures, and user experiences for all central Massachusetts restaurants.  The site is called Taste Worcester. I consulted on the back end and SEO of the site, but was not part of the initial design of the [...]

Duh, right?  Some may find this obvious, but I found out very early in studying for my GMAT and completing my application to Business School that the GMAT test and the application have common elements.  In the essays that you have to write, you have to answer questions that are asked of you, or make [...]

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 [...]
