Wise words:
“SELECT only what you need. Even though databases fetch data blindingly fast, you should still try to reduce the load on the database by only selecting that data which you need to use. If you need to count the number of rows in a table don’t SELECT * FROM, because all the data in […]

I was contemplating the little cardboard cartons that you heat Hot Pockets in. The packages say that you should eat the food out of the carton while you’re on the go. So that means it’s “mobile food.”
So… You put your mobile phone in one pocket, and the mobile food in the other, right?

Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg sums-up the MacBook air: “If you value thinness, and a large screen and keyboard in a subnotebook, and don’t watch DVDs on planes or require spare batteries, the MacBook Air might be just the ticket. But if you rely on spare batteries, expect the usual array of ports, or like […]

I just found this Blue Screen of Death Generator. It’s funny, put it’s probably a good idea to crop-out the URL shown at the bottom of the image (otherwise people will instantly know it’s a fake, and that’s no fun, is it?).

Last Tuesday, I downloaded the Steve Jobs’ Macworld Expo Keynote as soon as I got home from bowling. I was totally amazed at the Macbook Air, though it’s not really my kind of laptop. I want to much power to settle for it. The lack of storage, ports, and removable battery are the main problems […]

I like those Get a Mac ads. This one is funny, it doesn’t bash Vista (people have been complaining that a lot of the ads just bash Vista instead of pointing out the advantages of Macs), and it’s definitely right. Vista runs faster on Macs than on normal PCs.

I remember reading about this in PC […]

I’m Matt, or redwall_hp if you prefer.
I stopped updating my old personal blog last July. Part of the reason was I was trying to write something there every day, and most of it was web-related content. When I started Webmaster-Source, and NTugo as well, I just didn’t have the time (or the post ideas) anymore. […]
