I found this online today and it is so funny. It is taken from a message board thread started back in October of 2000. It is kinda off topic but I couldn't resist it.

I'm still laughing at some of them.

So I've read all the latest buzz on Twitter and signed up last night for an account. I have entered a few things in there and at first didn't much care for it. But as I have thought more about it, I kinda see a use for it. I see it as a way to look back and see what you did day to day. And if people want to keep track of you then that is cool too but I see it was more of a tool for myself. Kinda like a time capsule. I don't know how I will continue, IF I will continue, to use it but it's a cool idea.

Now onto my fellow Justin, Justin.tv, who has an interesting idea. If you don't know what it is, here's my description. It's almost a live Twitter for the world to see. He's a guy from San Francisco who strapped a mini-camera to his head and feeds the video on his site for the world to see. I don't know how long it will last but he sure is getting a lot of press and to make a name for yourself on the internet, that's what you have to do.

I'll stick around Twitter a little while longer and check out Justin.tv a few more times and see if it keeps up. Both interest me but I'm unsure for how much longer.

So tonight I'm sitting at home after my son goes to sleep and start flipping through the channels to see what's on. I come across VH1 and they were doing one of these "40 Greatest Whatever" shows but this one struck a chord with me. It was the 40 Greatest Internet Superstars and I had to watch. I only saw numbers 6 through 1 but the entire list is here:

40 Greatest Internet Superstars

Now this really has nothing to do with code but I think that for a lot of coders, this is what we have for entertainment over TV a lot of times. With it easier to go to YouTube and find the video everyone but you have seen than to find something on TV, these kind of videos will soon be the future of how we are entertained I feel.

Well I just found something cool as I was looking for a way to select some data from a SQL Server table and only return 1 random row. Pretty easy too:

SELECT TOP 1 columnName FROM table ORDER BY NEWID()

Works like a charm.

Well this didn't take long. I ran into a problem today with trying to get an old 1.1 project to open on my Vista machine and nothing was working. I did some digging and found this article:

How to Enable ASP.NET 1.1 on IIS7

You do need to do a restart after installing the 2 .NET 1.1 updates but it's worth it.
