Adding PHP+Wordpress on 1st Server

After few days of setting it up, I now have Microsoft SQL database along with MySQL database and PHP.
I needed also to install Wordpress, which I installed few hours ago.
I have these sites now on my own server:
- Uruk.us
- XLfxs.com
- ElizabethMaynard.com

These are the first three sites, in preparing to move in completely to host my own sites on my own server.

Excel VBA 2011 for Mac

This is the first project I got to work in Excel 2011 for Mac.
I knew I had to do something there somewhen, and here it is.
The project called "Macrijan" and it is for "Intillijury", I need to either buy a Mac with Excel2011 or Install Mac as Virtual machine.
I already learned some new stuff regarding the path and hard drive names, and need to update my functions I had for few years now (mostly FixPath, GetPapa and GetSon).
However, I still got a lot to learn, this link can help in that Rondebruin.nl Mac

It is going to take a while, but I am up to the challange.

Craigslist notification on your WinPhone 7



After I changed my phone from Android to Windows 7 (From Samsung Epic 4G to HTC Arrive) early March, I had several challanges.
One of them was to find the alternative application for CragisNotifica that works for Windows Phone 7.

My VBA function lib online

I started these days uploading my own VBA function lib to my website.
You can find them by search for VBA function
These are the actual tools that I am using in my daily VBA programming in Excel (and sometimes in Classic ASP). Let me know if you have any question regarding any of those.

Sometimes bad news are actually good (VB6 on Win8)

Windows 8 will suppurt VB6 (As this article 6 on 8? Will VB6 be supported on Windows 8? Yep (mostly)! says).
Sometimes the bad news here are actually good, it means we can still be alive for at least 7 years from now (up to 2019), even though the VB6 is kind of old, I guess Microsoft still stuck with it since most of VBA platforms are in VB6 and most of them are actually running entire organizations.

At least this is my openion.
