My younger brother celebrated another year today! Happy Birthday! I remember in my early teens going to a shoe store and having our feet measured. The shoe salesman spoke the sizes and said the larger number went with my younger brother’s foot! Absurd! I corrected and told him he got the sizes backwards to which he explained he didn’t. I finally came to terms with my brother’s foot being bigger than mine and when he grew taller than me I could accept that too. I’ve just never understood how my younger brother got to be older than me!

What separates a consultant from an employee? If I were an employee there’d be an IT guy fixing this server configuration.

I have a little ASP application that works fine on my development server. On the production server I get:

CDO.Message.1 error ’80040220′

The “SendUsing” configuration value is invalid.

These are the things that make web application development a bit maddening.
