Google Chrome

I have to say that using Google chrome with applications that use Web 2.0 extensively, It's one of if not the fastest browser out there. I have however discovered some inconsistencies with my web use.. sometimes it crashes for no reason specifically in ajax heavy websites. But those are minor things. It's simple and it does what you want to do. I hope they keep improving this browser and also start adding modules to make it more user specific something like firefox. Where the appearance can be customzied. Well thats itt for now If you can download it go ahead and download google chrome

Instant Messanger - C# with MS Access

I've always wanted to create a chat client since I could remember. Where I work i thought I would be a good idea to roll something like this out, but i had challenges. I tried looking for solutions around the net and all I could find was solutions that made use of sockets. In many circumstances this would be perfect. However where I work all of our computers are blocked from seeing each other and the network is pretty secure. The only way we can share information is through a file cluster/server. The only way I was able to do this was using MS Access as the communication tool between computers and so far it has worked well. User interface is done with C# and MS Access handles the transactions.  It's a really simple database. I will pass more informaiton on later posts as how i got this done. Very minimal maintenance is required. If anyone is interested let  me know 

Introduction

Hello everyone out there, I am currently a Data Processing Mgr at my company. On the side I like to program. I have learned everything I know by myself. It has been hard but perhaps it's worth it. I currently use the following programming languages at my work place. 

• Visual Basic.Net
• C#
• Ruby

I have also used some databases here are a few I have used

• MySql - I used this for a few months but due to some problems in my work I had to stop using it
• PostgreSql  - I used this one as well but again due to some problems in my work I had to stop using it.
• Filemake Pro 5, 6, 8 - I've used all of these 
• MS Access - This one is actually the one that got me interested in using MySql and Postgre SQL you could say this one was my gateway
• SQLite - This is the one I am currently using for all my apps after trying to use PostgreSql and MySql in my work environment I felt this one was the one that worked best for me.
