The world of programming is complex, and there is no end to the list of possibilities when it comes to choosing a language to program in. Sometimes, you will need to meet the needs of a client and write a script in a language you're not familiar with.
When looking for some help in this area, I found a site that describes the differences between ASP and PHP in a simple, easy to understand format.
The site shows the two codes next to each other, and is a solution for all those headaches!

Oh PageRank
Considering how much people talk about how little PageRank really means, a lot of fuss has been made over the last few weeks as Google updated their data centers and caused havoc reducing big names to minimal page ranks.
At the end of the day, we all care what Google think. They may not be the best search engine out there, but they are the industry standard. We don't "search" for things on the net anymore, we "Google" them.
A while back (late 2005), there was talking of getting rid of PageRank entirely, but this seems to have been shelved. Perhaps this re-shuffle is Google's way of hitting back at sites that behave in ways that piss them off, or perhaps we will start to see a more regular change in PR's.
Google has the power, it's not worth getting mad about it either. They say PR drops, it drops. They say it goes, it goes. There will be life after PageRank.

Hide that IP...!
One problem I have found with popular IP-hiding sites, is they too can end up being blocked. Being out of the US is great for travel experiences, but sucks when trying to access sites like Pandora.com that limit access to US users.
This morning I stumbled across (literally) www.hideyaip.com and it's awesome... works well, and I've got my Pandora back, for now!

Ring Ring...!
The ability to download phone ringtones was the cellphone equivalent to being the dawn of web 2.0 for cellphones, then the networks took it one step further. Now we can listen to music as the phone rings, instead of that boring ring tone. Each network has a different name for this service, but whether it is cingular answer tones, or vzw ringback tones, we no longer have to be bored when waiting for the call to be picked up.
Many people worry about their mobile phone ringtones and want to make sure they stand out from the crowd. That Nokia tune or palm treo ringtones can all be different, infact, I change my 7100i blackberry ringtones so often that I sometimes forget it's my cell ringing!
It's music to our ears...!

Breckenridge Colorado real estate
Travel is one of those hobbies that I love and yet never get enough of. It's time consuming and sometimes costly, but worth every single cent. In Europe I have visited Amsterdam, London, Paris and Dublin, amongst many places, but a vacation in the US in my favorite of all.
Zoom it in a little bit more and my eyes land on Colorado, where the hills are snow topped and the resort of Breckenridge provides the perfect winter vacation, but when the snow dries and it's summer time, the watersports, town and mountains give the perfect city-country blend for a beautiful place to live. I can see myself being very happy in one of Breckenridge homes.
There are many options for Breckenridge real estate and Breckenridge condos and the search is much made easy with Breckenridge mls search and Breckenridge ski in ski out for sale options readily available.
The US has many beautiful spots, but Colorado's views and resorts are definitely somewhere I miss.
