Broken Images in my RSS Feed

by Erik Lane 28. August 2007 01:08

Apparently the images in my feed, hosted by Feedburner, are being shortened to a relative path - which is breaking them since they are not hosted at Feedburner.  This is either done by .Text or I messed something up.

I posted a couple of images in my PQI i810 USB Flash Drive post but they are not showing up in the RSS Feed.  So if you want to take a look-see please click through to the blog.

PQI i810 USB Flash Drive

by Erik Lane 27. August 2007 22:57
Every other USB flash drive I have ends up in my bag and it stays there. That's not an issue when I have my bag with me but, sadly, I don't always have my bag with me. That has keep me on the lookout for a USB flash drive that I could keep with me almost 100% of the time. For that to happen it had to be one that I could carry on my key chain but also one that wouldn't be a hassle to use or carry with me.

It had to keep these criteria:
  • Small enough that when it was in my pocket it didn't bother me.
  • USB connector had to be protected.
  • The cap had to be built so that I couldn't lose it.
  • Had to connect to my key chain in a way that was solid and sturdy.

The PQI i810 does all of these.

Small, protected connector, and safely connected on my key chain


The protected USB Connector slides in/out
  

The speed of the PQI i810 Drive is actually pretty good and can be used for ReadyBoost. Because of its small size I take it off of my key chain when I use it and I am extra careful with the connector. These are trade-offs that I can live with and so I'm a happy camper.

Giddy Up!

Browse with Reflector

by Erik Lane 21. August 2007 02:20

Jason Haley gives a few utilities that he uses and finds useful everyday.  Lutz Roeder's Reflector is on the list but not just using the tool - he has "Browse with Reflector".  I've seen this one before but wasn't sure how to add it to my context menu.  Thanks to Jason, I'm all set!

From a command prompt, run Reflector.exe /register" to add it or "Reflector.exe /unregister" to remove it.

Go read his post for some more really cool utilites that he uses.

Giddy Up!

Time for a New Project

by Erik Lane 9. August 2007 07:50

Well, the life a contractor has set in.  My current project, that was suppose last until January, will now end on 8/31 so I have begun the search for my next project.  If you have the need for my skills in C# and ASP.NET please feel free to contact me.  I'm open for going just about anywhere but with preference to Baltimore/DC, Dallas/Fort Worth, or working remote.

Giddy Up!
