Even though I didn't know him...

Randy, like myself, do believe in karma and helping others. I believe that everyone should watch this video. I wished I could have meet him. He makes a lot good points and some I will take with me in the "Road Map" we call life. I could only hope to have the same impact on others like he did.

Even though I didn't know you Randy, I will miss you too...

Site Update

Posted by cdavenport4 | Posted in

I've finally updated the Web Design page. Here recently I've been laying out plans for a new site for my employers morning meeting. Sort of like a contact management page/To Do List. I will be implementing PHP/MYSQL. I'm currently in the Database design phase. If you interested in what the main page will look like, Here's a sneak peak.

Cable company's VS Online developers

Posted by cdavenport4 | Posted in

Okay, here's the deal. Company's like Comcast and RoadRunner are in testing in some locations to start charging by the bandwidth.

So, you say? Lets break this down shall we. The cable company's want more money plus the want to detour bandwidth hogs. So, they come up with this little plan to give you so much bandwidth a month and a charge of something per megbit/gigabit if you go over that set amount. (I'm none to happy with this)

For tech and developers that make there living online and need unlimited bandwidth this would be devastating to them. On top of that, company's like YouTube, Hulu, iTunes and Netflix would have to close there doors because everyone would be concerned if they would go over there allotment. I know I would be.

Here's a question. Why haven't the company's like the ones I listed above voicing her option in protest? That what I really want to know.

Microsoft Windows Vista SP1

Posted by cdavenport4 | Posted in , , ,


I found out yesterday that Microsoft had just released Service Pack 1 for Vista. This on some level excites me and concerns me both. On one hand Microsoft has stated that this will address speed and security issues. (Mostly the way it handles asking question for every little thing you do, you know the UAC Default Option) Thoughts are just a couple of things that are addressed. I welcome the fact that they are willing to put updates out to improve there product but this also has a down side to it. I read that this will cause issues with some Antivirus, Spyware and other applications. They may work in-part or not at all. I will be keeping an eye on my favorite blog sites to see if there are any issues with the update.

Could it be that Microsoft has seen the light on CSS3?

Posted by cdavenport4 | Posted in , , ,


It appears that Microsoft Internet explorer will support CSS3. It's about time! Safari 3 and Firefox 3 have already implemented the standards. For years Microsoft has stubbed their noses at the W3C and only implementing only the standards that they consider business essential. While the creative community has had to create work-a-rounds to view there website correctly in 3 different browser (IE, Firefox and Safari). Although IE8 is in the beta phase, it has promise. Some of the Acid test still don't render correctly I have high hopes that it will conform. I'm currently testing IE8 to see if any of the websites that I had created will render correctly. As of right now, there okay. Time will only tell if Microsoft will keep good on there word.
