Jobs and jobs and the ninja crisis

by Xavier Comments: 0

Another quick rant, my girlfriend pointed out yesterday that I am not grumpy and jumpy anymore.

Piece of advise for anyone out there, if you are currently not too happy with your job, think about doing a transition. A job affects your personal life way more than what you think.

I quit a few months ago, and I was scared because of the crisis, but I hope everything will turn out good 🙂

Well, only time will tell…

Definitively an article worth reading!

$4 for a Pepsi. That’s what I call a stimulus for the economy!

Xavier @ San Diego as my messenger would say

Traveled to San Diego for a couple of days. Its been a while since I traveled to some where other than Seattle.

From my window I can see the Hotel el Cortez, and now I can see the NBC. I like this project with Search Technologies www.searchtechnologies.com. What is it about? If I told you I would have to kill you! hehehehe

Well, going to dinner with John and then maybe I’ll write something useful. For now, the only thing I can tell you is don’t buy the GE Skype phone. It REALLY is crap

Taxi Aeropuerto Costa Rica – Calling a cab in Costa Rica

by Xavier Comments: 0

I need to be at the SJO airport tomorrow morning at 4 am. So I called a cab today to pick me up early in the morning.

Guess what? You need to call before 9 pm the day before! Shouldn’t an airport taxi service be 24 hours?

Bernard Madoff to jail. Is it really necessary?

by Xavier Comments: 0

So he is going to jail for the biggest scam in history. Something as little as 50 billion dollars! And going to jail for that. Is that really necessary? He stole millions from the russian mob, dealers and other “don’t mess around with me” people.

Just let him on the loose and see how long he will last hehehehe

Setting your default page in ASP NET

by Xavier Comments: 0

Let’s say you host your site in www.godaddy.com or Mosso or someplace else. You don’t have access to IIS and you need to set the default start page in your ASP NET application.

If you are working with ASP.NET just do it by setting it in the web.config:

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <clear />
                    <add value=”yourstartpage.aspx” />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

If you are using FormsAuthentication do the following to set the default page
<authentication mode=”Forms”>
<forms name=”.COOKIENAME”
loginUrl=”YourLoginPage.aspx”
defaultUrl=”YourDefaultPage.aspx”
protection=”All”
timeout=”30″
path=”/”> 
</forms>
</authentication>
