I think my favorite is the MSDN search query for WM_SETPOSITION.

Finally got around to changing the background image of my new XPS 400 from the ugly default XPS logo, with this. Looks pretty neat in the 24″ widescreen.

I just finished setting up my very own TWiki. I plan to use this to host my own guides, tutorials, and various other documents. I tend to forget how to do things pretty soon after I learn to do them, so I decided to document the steps during the learning process. The site is really meant for my own benefit, although I don’t see why other people can benefit from my mishaps. Enjoy!

Check out our mini release of NiftyGuy Phase 2: Project Wildfire. This phase we focused on giving users more of an incentive to post by giving metrics on their posting history. Check it out!

Our site NiftyGuy.com has finally gone live! Check it out to see our months of hard work being put to use. Also, please link the site if you can – we are trying to increase our google ranking. =]

Bear with me as I recover from 1and1’s system failure and as I switch blog engines. I’m moving from MovableType to Wordpress, which supports instant posting and private/passworded entries.

Check out my review of 1and1 Web hosting below:

Dear sir/madam,

We regret to inform you that, owing to a sudden and unforeseen serious operational malfunction in one of our hosting servers on Sunday, the data stored in your webspace has been irretrievably lost. We were able to restore about 98% of the data from the backup of the affected server.

However, unfortunately, due to a double fault your webspace fell within the 2% of data which could not be recovered despite the arduous attempts of our engineers.

We are informing you as quickly as possible to ensure that you can take steps to re-upload all your website data.

1&1 apologizes unreservedly for this error.

To avoid any further technical problems we have replaced the entire hardware in this server to ensure that future problems such as this will be avoided.

If you have any questions about this e-mail, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely

Customer Service
1&1 Internet Inc.

In summary, I don’t recommend them.
