Yesterday I pinged Phil Haack to ask some questions about the installation process for Subversion. You see when it comes to installing software (as opposed to coding) , I suffer from total ADD. If I cant get it to work in a short period of time I get mad. Signs of having been around computers […]

Almost a month a ago I wrote a post describing the difficulties surrounding my purchase of CodeRush.At that  time I certainly didn’t think there would be a sequel. But here we are, less than a month later and I came across an even worse case of e-commerce blunder. It gets a little boring to point out other company’s short comings (unless […]
