It’s coming. Hold on.

As I previously mentioned, one of the main reasons for all this work was that the new sanctuary building does not have a wired network and I needed to move the existing computers and printer to a wireless network. So, since I have an Airport Extreme at home, I was planning to create a Pre-N [...]

Now that the wires have been moved over into the hall closet, I had to recreate the existing wired network. While we had been using a cheapo cable router I picked some years ago at a computerfest, this time I had a budget and went with the name brands.

While I knew that we could move the ethernet cables faily easily, my main concern was the cable modem. I have created both pass through and crossover cables for computers and even made new coaxial [...]

Not only install a wireless network in the parish hall and sanctuary buildings, but also move the entire wired network that was terminating in the secretary’s office into a communications closet in the hallway.

If you have developed websites for more than a few minutes, you have inevitably been asked to do some cutesy stuff like adding flash, drop-down menus or toggling elements. While all of these may be ligitimate features of a site, they may not be the easiest to implement and perhaps even very challenging. I have [...]

Use hyphens (-) instead of underscore (_).
Restrict a page or folder that has recursive or overly dynamic URLs, [...]

I manage several sites, for work, church, clients and personal. One of the most important things that needs to be done (besides CONTENT) is to work at getting the search engines to notice and return relevant results from any of those sites. Recently, I have been making changes to my employer’s website and came across [...]
