I ran across the need to decrypt some stored procedures. I’m writing an interface to a large enterprise application that the company I work for makes. I just want to see the stored procedure code so I could understand what it was doing. Everytime I asked for access to the source code it was like I was …

I’ve found that there are just a ton of articles that I can’t really read. I took a look at the older unread articles and most are either not that interesting to me or about something I already read. I figure those articles can just go away and I’ll never know or care, so I built in articles …

I’m about half way through setting up a new feature called bundles on my rss reader. I’ve found that following rss via tags is a pretty good way to go but sometimes I’m doing research on an overarching topic and I need a something to bring it all together.

I’ve added digg stats to the unread articles.  The thought is to crowd source the articles that are weighted low on my personal schema but dug alot.  Eventually I don’t want to feel that I need to read every article.  By using digg stats I’ll know that the more talked about posts will be brought to my attention and should …

Finally got a chance to do a screen capture of the RSS Reader i’m working on.  Enjoy…
