Like many other technical bloggers, I receive requests for help on a regular basis. Since I’m constantly learning and evolving I approach others for help as well. A couple of years ago, I received an email from a new reader which began with: Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an [...] When was the last time you booked a trip through a Travel Agent? Rented a Video from an actual person? Have you ever seen a Milkman Telephone Operator, or Elevator Operator except in classic movies? Why do I ask? Well, technology is eliminating the first two jobs, and the last three are practically extinct. Which way [...]
Justice League – Looking for More Members I received an e-mail from a reader recently regarding Consona Connect. She and I have met at a few of these events and she asked me the following question. Every time I attend a Consona Connect I see you there. You always seem to know what is being presented [...]
Dennis and I last year. “They found this growth in my jaw… referred me to an oral surgeon… Sensei, it’s cancer,” Dennis said to me. I was shocked and devastated.

For those of you who have never seen one, that’s because most companies phased these relics out of existence fifteen years ago. The dot matrix printer [...] Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur Clark One of the factors which draws me to programming, and especially database programming, is that most people cannot understand it. To most people, computers, networks, and the internet etc quite simply work by magic. They know how to turn it on, and [...] I enjoy reading a little bit right before bed, and I’m a big fan of Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers. Where else can you read short articles about Star Wars trivia, how the invention of currency came about, and the famous hoaxes of the last century all in one sitting?
Anyway, I found [...]
“What we got here is… failure to communicate.”- Cool Hand Luke In a previous post, I described my basic process for creating customizations. For many programmers, writing code is much easier than communicating with users, so I’d like to expound upon that process. Essentially, the problem is this. The user should [...] Typically, “Hello World” is the first bit of programming we all do. It is the simplest, and most basic way to interact with the computer, essentially Marco Polo for adults.
