Under Attack?

Posted on December 10, 2003 6:26 PM

So far today, I have received over 1,000 spam emails in my inbox (yahoo!).

I'm doing my best to sort through them looking for legitimate email, but if you've sent me an email today, there's a decent chance that I missed it and deleted it along with the junk.

I can imagine one or two different reasons for this massive influx of spam.

1. One of those forward emails that everyone knows I enjoy so much has finally made it's way to a spammer and now my email address is on some list someplace.

2. Somebody I know has a computer that has been compromised in some way and my email address is in their address book.

3. Something else that I haven't even thought of. (Most Probable)

So once again, if you send me an email, I'll do everything I can to weed it out of the other crap I'm getting hammered with, but if I miss it, I apologize in advance. And if it's something important you may want to contact me by other means.

I'll post a follow-up here later.

Chris

A Simple Plan

Posted on December 9, 2003 2:51 PM

Here's the plan:

Collaborate with friends to create comedy skits that we can do using the resources available to us... Namely, a couple digital video cameras and our personal computers combined with some nice digital video editing packages.

If you'd like to put your two cents in, all you have to do is login to the site and post comments in reply to this topic. I know that a few of my friends are especially creative in the area of funny. Sometimes I have my moments, but most of the time I can't remember the really spiffy idea I had.

I think this would be a great way to learn how to do some creative editing, working with multiple camera angles, multiple locations, and an unlimited budget. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

So if you have something to offer feel free to throw in with us and we'll kick our ideas around until we get something that looks good.

And if we get tired of waiting, we'll just go with one of the sucky ideas. Add/View Comments (5)

Trials of a Noob PocketPC Programmer

Posted on December 1, 2003 10:45 PM

Well, it took me 3 hours but I finally figured out how to get the Access database that I am using in my PocketPC (PPC) program from the PC to the PPC emulator. I had to copy the MDB file from the pc to my REAL PPC. Once I did that, the ActiveSync program converted the mdb file to a cdb file, which can be used on the PPC. The problem is, the cdb file you have on the real PPC has to be copied now into the emulator.

Luckily, if you go to the menu in Embedded Visual Basic, specifically to

Tools - Remote Tools - File Viewer

You can connect to your real PPC in the cradle and browse your way to the My Documents directory on the PPC. When you find your cdb file, select it and pick Import File from the menu. This lets you save the file onto your PC.

Now you have to connect the fileviewer to your PPC Emulation. I had to shut down the file viewer and restart it to get it to connect. Go to the My Documents directory. In there you select Export File from the menu. This brings up a file dialog box where you pick the cdb file that you've copied off of the real PPC.

From there it's pretty much straight forward. Now I'm off to write some vb code to use this database! Add/View Comments (1)
