A bit of this and a bit of that

I remember going to private lessons as a kid, sitting together with other kids in someone’s house or garage and catching up. Granted, I did it because my parents wanted me to take some exams early (expecting a kid to take 12 subjects in one go is a pretty tough thing to do), and I’m [...]

There are a number of website out there that can help you find the best place to host your website. Personally, I always keep an eye on the ones that let you host multiple websites and have a wide support of languages. Most of my sites are written in Classic ASP, but all my new [...]
