Welcome to my personal blog. This is full of my opinions. Not Microsoft's or MacBU's opinions - mine. And remember, this is the internet, so I probably have no idea what I’m talking about.

I found this way cool open-source project called XAMPP. It's an all-in-one bundle for Windows of Apache, MySQL, and PHP - so no more live testing on the web site

Automation Part 1

This week I'm starting in on a long put off project - the full automation of picture and blog publishing. I love Picasa and so I am going to a make a go of leveraging it, but I'm not sure if that will work out. My first step is the full automation of the insertion of a Picasa-exported HTML page into my pictures database. A while back I moved my pictures solution from being text-file based to being MySQL based, and have been slowing building a up a web admin page where I can backup, restore, add, edit and delete photosets from the database. However, I still had to manually tweak the HTML of each photoset to link it to its previous and next ones. Today I hope to finish it (started it yesterday). Then the BIG leap is to build a combo photo publishing/blogging tool. Hence the short term fix!
