Just used LogoSnap to create a generic (but very applicable) logo.
Results were great, and they even provide the .EPS version of the logo(s) you build.
This site is a great way to build a quick logo, with your own ideas.

Very cool utility to screen-capture a web page (even the entire page).
Use it with Xsticky, and you have a great way to communicate changes between designers and customers.

This is a neat add-on when you want to make sticky-notes on a page you’re visiting, then view the sticky note when you return to the page at a later time.
Very useful for designers / programmers – you can make notes on a page while talking to your customer, or for any web-based business tool, where you want notes about, say, a customer profile, but only available to you.

Since I updated to Windows 7 (which I’m very impressed with), the local web server hangs randomly; especially when performing multiple record updates, table creations, etc. in phpMyAdmin.
I have a hunch this corrects the issue:
it should be noted that I’ve done the following prior to the end solution:
- changed from FastCGI to ISAPI
- ensured permissions for IUSR & IIS users to the DLL/EXE
- (don’t forget to create & set session & upload permissions to the proper directories noted in php.ini)
End Solution: Changing my.ini file parameter for the default engine to ISAM, and that seems (so far) to have solved the problem.
After trying to correlate the issue to a running process, I have a hunch (non-conclusive) that using InnoDB engine mixed with ISAM in my MySql database is causing a hang.
Some of my databases (inadvertently) use different engines (innodb and myisam) across tables, and that seems to have a contribution to hanging.
Here are the changes I made, which may have an impact/resolution to this issue:
- edit my.ini from your MySql install directory
- set default-storage-engine=myisam (mine was innodb)
- save and restart MySql services (or reboot)
Have not personally tried out this class (plan to in the future), but do believe I am using a software that takes advantage of the class.
This is a plugin for DirectAdmin.
It allows you to provide individual (email) users with the ability to change their passwords, set vacation messages and more.
Normally, you would require the DA user (master user for the account) to perform these functions.
Verizon’s TouchPro2 / HTC XV6875 is an Awesome phone. Hands Down.
Had an HTC (Verizon) XV6800 and switched to the Samsung i910.
Wasn’t happy mainly with the lack of a pull-out keyboard on the Samsung.
So, got this phone (Touchpro 2) and am extremely happy.
Compared to the Samsung i910, it’s night-and-day better.
Super fast, Great Windows Mobile menu/interface replacements (for better touch navigation), and the GPS, & other reception is great.
This is basically a PC in your pocket.
Regarding battery usage, I’m also very happy.
I have 2 POP3 accounts setup to recv every 60 minutes (with a lot of email traffic), and battery drain is much less than older win/mobile phones. Always have 2 battery-bars left (50%) at the end of the day. after plenty of surfing, and email updates every 60 minutes as mentioned.
This phone is by far, the best phone I’ve ever had, and with the pull-out keyboard, it’s basically a mini pc.
Thanks HTC & Verizon!
