Hacking Windows XP PowerToy Calculator to run in Vista/Windows 7
This was more of a project than I was originally expecting, Microsoft prevents the Windows XP Powertoy Calculator from running in Vista or Windows 7 in 2 separate places, but in the end, it runs perfectly in Vista, all the limitations are false.
Don't feel like doing this yourself? No need! 
Using Process Monitor and other tools to fix a broken installation.
Today the stars were aligned and my VMWare installation decided to stop working. It's time for an upgrade, anyways.
Oh, that makes sense. So lets uninstall the old version.
Can't install the new, can't uninstall the old. Time for some hackery!
Creating a Google Page Rank Finder in Javascript
An interesting technology are Google Page Rank Finders. What they do is discover which result and page number a website is in Google's search results for a given term.
I thought an interesting implementation would be a completely client side one written in Javascript using Google's search API. To spoil the ending, after creating this I discovered the API only allows 8 results per page and 8 pages, making this useless if the site is beyond the 64th result, but the API is interesting and powerful regardless.
The finished version can be found at pagerank.red-stars.net with the complete Javascript.
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PathPointType defined.
I had a project which involved raw access to the data stored inside of a System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath and found that the MSDN Document for PathPointType was rather lacking, but it's not too complex.
Automated Local Backup of a Remote MySQL Database
I always like to take backing up into my own hands, and a database is potentially the most important thing on your server next to only the code driving it all, which in nature typically has a local copy anyways.
Food: The Way I See It
It all starts when we first start, at birth. Once separated from mother, we wont be long for this world with out something to eat. Thus starts our relationship with something so universally appreciated, that you'll be hard pressed to name a culture or a religion that never mentions it, something more important than grade point averages or your car lease, the thing that your body turns into itself, and what has the power to give you a good quality of life, or tear you down.
