MyBlogShots Service - I need some beta testers
2007-05-19 00:00:00 OK, for those of you who don't know, I've gone and done a website thumbnail/screenshot service, much like thumbshots.org and alexa, except that it's FREE and more importantly UP TO DATE.

Hex to String and String to Hex
2006-12-02 15:12:05 Some quick code to get this done. I used this a starting point to some mini encryption I'm playing with. Comes in quite handy if you plan to hide harmless info, as apposed to stashing it as strings.Note* DON'T try to use this as fullproof encryption pu-leease. Anyone looking at it will recognise it as hex and be able to decode it. Beef it up a little more and you'll have yer own encryption. Here's the code: String to Hex 'String to Hexfunction SH(ByVal sVal as String) Dim retVal as String = "" Dim i as Integer = 1 &nbs p;for i = 1 to Len(sVal) &n bsp; 'Char by Char, Convert to ASCII, then to HEX re tVal = retVal & Hex(Asc(Mid(sVal,i,1))) nextreturn retValend function Hex to String 'Hex to Stringfunction HS(ByVal sVal as String) Dim retVal as String = "" Dim i&...

No Honey, I don't feel like it tonight...
2006-12-02 15:12:05 WHEN THE WORLD SAYS GIVE UP, HOPE SAYS TRY ONE MORE TIME............ No honey, I don't feel like it tonight.... This was written by a guy... it's pretty damn smart. Girls -- Have a sense of humor! I never quite figured out why the s#xual urge of men and women differ so much. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to ...

Mark Lottering - One liners
2006-12-02 15:12:05 Got these via email...classic! 1. I was so poor growing up... if I wasn't a boy... I'd have nothing to play with. 2. A girl phoned me the other day and said, "Come on over; nobody's home." I went over. Nobody was home. 3. During s*x, my girlfriend always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel. 4. One day I came home early from work... I saw a guy jogging naked. I said to the guy,"Hey buddy, why are you doing that?" He said, "Because you came home early". 5. It's been a rough day I got up this morning... put a shirt on and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom. 6. I was such an ugly kid... When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up. 7. I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio. 8. I was such an ugly baby... My mother never breast-fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend. 9. I'm so ugly... My father carries around...
