Yes, today is the first day of redemption for Chic-Fil-A. Yes, that’s right. They got my order correct! YAY!

Chic-Fil-A Strikes Again!

Posted: 26th June 2007 by Adam Presley in General, Venting

GAH!! Tis so frustrating when you wish to have a bit of breakfast on the way to work, and the drive-thru fails you by messing up your order. Once again, Chick-Fil-A has made my morning less bright. This time they left out my hashbrowns. Alas.

Monty Python Event

The film concept was creative in that they filmed it similar to a documentary. Instead of being entertained I found myself getting up [...]

WordPress issues with Free Hosting

Posted: 12th June 2007 by Adam Presley in General, White and Nerdy

Just wanted to share a small discovery I made to those out there who may be wishing to setup their own WordPress blog site. I use GoDaddy hosting (which I’d like to say is excellent, as is their customer service) with Linux and PHP, and as you can see I use WordPress for my blog [...]

Testing server availability

It’s a simple thing, but quite useful. In the organization where I work we have over ten web servers, so oftentimes the location of a problem can be difficult to pinpoint. In this line of thought I was asked to create a ColdFusion page which tries to communicate with our SMTP server, and spit out [...]
