Just got back from the desert. Hiked a moderately strenuous slog up Maidenhair Falls in Borrego Springs. Nice flowers, nice beetles, nice bugs in general… we even saw a big ol’ caterpillar take a poop.

Classic my foot
I am working on some old sheisty ASP code today. Here’s a couple nice nuggets for all the poor souls who have to write VB all day long.
1. Get and use Emil Malinov’s VBSTemplate class. This will give you codebehind / Smarty / Mason -style templates. That means no HTML in your code, silly. There is one additional method you want to add – a Return() method to return the parsed template as a string – you’ll thank me for it.
Next, get Nick DelMedico’s clsDatagrid. That’s right kiddies, an ASP.NET-style datagrid for your “Classic” ASP pages.
Finally, you’ll need a couple fairly basic functions to deal with stuff like select boxes (VBSTemplate will handle the textboxes and textareas.)
30 Dollars a Day for Perverts
Remember a few months back when I posted those racy pix of Rachel Ray from FHM mag?
Well, apparently this is one of the few sites on the whole wide interweb to post them, because much to my surprise I did 10GB traffic last month, well over 10x my normal traffic! That led to a nice bandwidth overage of 50+ bucks!
15000 queries for Rachel Ray in about 2 weeks! Needless to say, there are guys other than myself and Padre Lee who like wide-bottomed brunettes with big yap!
