Digging through my server this evening I came across an old redesign of the site. I think I called it orange or something.

And this time it’s not the webpage! July 2nd I moved out of my folk’s home and into an appartment all my own! Unfortunatly, I don’t have pictures as I’ve lost my camera, which did have pictures on it. *Sigh* I think I left it somewhere in Iowa.

Last Friday Willmar got a surprise, a tornado. In my twenty years of living here, I’ve never known one to hit so close.
It was pretty insane. I was sitting in my living room at the time kind of mad that the sirens weren’t stopping despite the clear skies. Fortunately a friend who was coming over [...]
Unprotecting Word Documents
June 27, 2008 – 3:36 pm
A quick search around Google reveals that there are many an application that will remove the protection from Word documents. However I question the trustworthiness of these programs, what if they install key loggers, or trojans, or some other nefarious code? So I did some research and scripting to make my own document cracker, and [...]

Scrawlr is tool that HP recently release for doing some simple testing of web sites for SQL injection points. One of the limitations on this free tool was that it could only do 1500 pages on your site. But apparently they’ve been distributing debug builds (which have a 2.1 billion page limit) this entire time!
Original [...]
Quick! Face full of paint!
June 22, 2008 – 10:20 pm
So, it was a super fast weekend. Friday after work I went to Get Smart, which was a pretty funny movie, especially if you’ve watched the 1960’s television show. Afterwards I drove down to New Prague to see some friends and hangout for a couple days. After the bonfire on Saturday evening I drove back [...]
Fighting spam and bots
June 19, 2008 – 5:30 pm
Hey, I’m actually writing on a programming related concept!!
Pretty much anyone who runs a public blog/site (like Mark Langenfeld, Nick Davis, MySpace, Dream.in.Code, etc.) knows that spam can be a problem. Fortunately, there are ways to combat it. With Wordpress, there is Akismet which I’ve found very helpful in keeping my blog clean. My blog [...]
Blue Belt
June 18, 2008 – 5:02 pm
Woo! I passed my Blue Belt test last night!
I have to say that this test was the first that I actually felt prepared for and felt I could do at. Previous tests I was really nervous about remembering things and getting them right. Granted I was still nervous, but I noticed I shook less.
Even so, [...]
On this day in 1986…
June 17, 2008 – 3:20 pm
Well, it’s that time of year again where I regularly reflect on the past year, in other words, a birthday.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes and calls! It seems that I’m getting a call or text every 5 minutes with someone wishing me well.
What a trip around the sun it’s been. I’ve completed two [...]
