Request for additional Input on Super Solar Flares
2008-08-21 02:26:00 I am currently being shot down in the general discussion on a question regarding the effects a flare, such as the Carrington flare of 1859, would have on the current world. This seems like a perfectly valid question to me, considering the disruption that this flare caused in a basically pre-electri

2008-07-24 15:12:00 A common mistake beginners make when working with SQL is trying to format their output at the database layer, as opposed to simply doing this at the presentation layer (i.e., client application, reporting tool, web page, etc). I've covered that quite a bit in various blog posts, but I've only touched upon another similar issue which I feel is equally as important and also commonly mishandled. In the SqlTeam forums, I often see code that accepts DateTime input in the form of a string value (say, from a TextBox on a web form) and uploads that value to the database written like this: SqlCommand c = new SqlCommand(); c.CommandText = "insert into SomeTable (DateCol) values ('" + txtDate.Text + "')"; c.ExecuteNonQuery(); Now, I think that hopefully even most beginners will agree that this is bad code. The primary issue, of course, is SQL Injection. Avoiding SQL Injection is very easy to do using Parameters. So, let's say that you rewrite this code using parameters like this: S...

Provide Your Input on the Future of the Downtown Ann Arbor Library!
2008-06-03 05:44:00 The Downtown Ann Arbor Library has been through two major expansions since opening its doors in 1957. In 2007 growing needs prompted the library authority to hire a consultant to assess the 20 year feasibility of the existing facilities. Ten focus groups and over 100 users worked toward determining future library needs. The results of the study prompted the hiring of Luckenbach/Ziegelman Architects to undertake the future construction/expansion project. In combination with the library project, the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority proposed a plan to replace the parking lot on the north side of the Library with an underground parking garage. Working together, both authorities developed a joint public survey to help guide future plans. Now the Ann Arbor Public is invited to discuss future plans for the Library. There are two more sessions (held in the downtown library’s multi-purpose room): Wednesday, 10am - Noon Sunday (Jun...

Enhancing Search (Input) Boxes Using JavaScript
2008-06-02 08:13:00 Time for some JavaScript action. JavaScript as you know is a client-side web scripting language and is the best choice for any client-side scripting application for the web. Today we’re going to employ some basic and simple JavaScript methods to enhance a Search (Input) Box as in the image above. You’ve probably come across this type of Search Box before. In the text box initially is written ‘Search’ or something of that sort but as soon as you click or focus on it, the field becomes empty for you to type in, again when it is left blank and focus is taken off it, field changes back to have the initial text. I don’t actually see a big enough reason why people employ this technique but one common reason might be when there is not enough space to label the search box, this technique can use the Text Box to label itself. OK, enough discussion, now let’s have a look at the code: <form action="SCRIPT-NA-ME" method...

GM adds MapQuest, on-the-go destination input functionality to OnStar
2008-04-02 17:25:00 GM adds MapQuest, on-the-go destination input functionality to OnStar General Motors on Tuesday announced two new navigation services to complement OnStar's Turn-by-Turn live operator service already offered. The first, dubbed Destination Download, allows drivers to input their destinations while on the go with the press of a button that will advise an OnStar operator of their destination, who will then upload directions to their screen-based navigation screen within seconds. The other addition, OnStar eNav, allows users to upload a route they plotted on MapQuest.com to their vehicle's built-in Turn-by-Turn voice and text navigation system. Either service requires a full OnStar subscription, which costs either $299 per year or $28.90 on a monthly basis, but will not cost extra, as GM is trying to enhance the value and appeal of OnStar while competitors expand their navigation offerings, and the aftermarket offering ever more affordable portable nav systems. OnStar e...

Neighborhood input...Tampa style
2008-03-23 04:38:00 What if you had a meeting and nobody came? Well that seems to be par for the course with Tampa. They schedule a meeting about the future of the 22nd street parkland. Much like they did when planning to locate a dump there (oops, I'm sorry, "transfer station") they forgot to tell the folks that live there. Oh to the city's credit they did notify Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association which promptly did nothing to get the word out. Here we go again. Let me see, OSHNA can send out "alerts" announcing the new chair for the library committee (yawn) but can't send an alert affecting riverfront parkland in the neighborhood. (my personal editorial comments are on my personal blog) As an update/clarification: Susan Long, OSHNA's president did send Diane Jenkins to represent the neighborhood and association at the meeting and received a report back. Something that was not clear when we first spoke about this issue. While I think email alerts would have reached a broader audience...

Input Director - Control Multiple Computers
2008-03-13 14:36:00 As I write this I have 3 computers that I use for various purposes. I use to keep a separate keyboard and mouse for each one but I recently found a better way. Input Director a let's you use one keyboard and mouse to control several computers. I've placed the screens side by side and then simply move my mouse from screen to screen. It's like one computer with 4 screens (I have two screens on my primary computer). A real time saver and it fits perfectly into my workflow. Input Director is a Windows application that lets you control multiple Windows systems using the keyboard/mouse attached to one computer. It is designed for folks who have two (or more) computers set up at home and find themselves regularly sliding from one system to the other (and wearing out the carpet in the process!). With Input Director, you can share a single keyboard/mouse across a set of systems. You switch which system receives the input either by hotkey or by moving the cursor so that it transitions ...
