Alternate SMTP port

LeVasseur.us Hosting — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 01:28:00 GMT

For those of you (Like me.) that their ISP blocks outgoing traffic on port 25- use 587. Cox blocks outgoing traffic on port 25 to suppress SPAM, you can only connect to their servers.

A little HSphere 'feature'.

One thing- you may need to go into the control panel and enable the default document, according to what you're using. (index.html, default.aspx, index.aspx, etc.)

It's Domains/Web Service/Edit (The little hammer)/Directory Indexes/Edit

Decent software- free (Yes, totally free.)

Treo Joe — Tue, 16 Aug 2005 04:15:00 GMT

Both of these programs are worth having. I signed up for this months ago and the link still works.

Humorous and not-so-humorous 'what the...???' posts about computer programming.

Joe LeVasseur — Tue, 31 May 2005 00:05:00 GMT

Have you ever used a BlackBerry and liked the way you can hold a letter key for a bit longer and it will automatically capitalize? KeyCaps600 does this and more ...

First post

This is my first post- hope to provide the occasional post with tips, pointers to excellent freeware, offers, etc.

First tip:

rfBackup- a totally free software to do backups to your SD card. Source code included.

Personalized WAV files for your Windows system events or whatever (Free)

Joe LeVasseur — Mon, 30 May 2005 13:31:00 GMT

Want to create some spoken phrase WAV files and don't really want to shell out the bucks for some software you'll only use a couple of times?

For example- I now have a nice lady with an English accent named Audrey letting me know when I have new email. (“Joe, you have new email.“) Just type in the phrase, check the “Display a link for the audio file.“ checkbox and you're ready to download the WAV file. (Put it in %WINDIR%\Media\ .)

Here's a good reason why we should keep Hubble up there and running

See for yourself.

NASA Genesis mission- I missed this news last October

Joe LeVasseur — Mon, 11 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Remember last year the satellite that was supposed to be snatched from the air with helicopters equipped with special hooks- but smashed into the desert? It turns out it's an example of how things can go wrong even after being tested to death.

The probable cause is that two g-switches (Accelerometer switches.) were installed upside-down. Before you blame the guy who assembled the PCB- he followed the design to the letter. In other words- Lockheed supplied the faulty design.

It would seem to be fairly easy to devise a non-destructive test to verify that the circuit would fire when hit with force from the appropriate direction.

Back, back, waaaaayyyy back

3D Banners for free

Joe LeVasseur — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 02:39:00 GMT

I must admit that I have a half dozen programs that could do this, but you need to be a rocket scientist to run them! (I wonder which is more complicated- modern object oriented programming or building rockets?) Anyway, I'm trying to create a logo, was checking out several sites.

This one is a bit gaudy... (Only 12k) Click to go there.

Another one. (Only 1k)

Well, probably should leave this up to my progeny, who has a lot more talent with this stuff than me.

Hate to give your email address to potential spammers?

Joe LeVasseur — Mon, 04 Apr 2005 03:29:00 GMT

Try SpamGourmet. After signing up at SpamGourmet you simply use your newly created email address like this: PotentialSpammer.5.MySpamGourmetAddress@SpamGourmet.com. For example if your address is Joe and the site that wants your email address is Site.com then you give Site.com 'Site.5.Joe@SpamGourmet.com'. The '5' is how many emails you want to make it through to you before invalidating the address. Check 'em out.

MIT OpenCourseWare (Free courses from MIT)

Joe LeVasseur — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 03:31:00 GMT

Certainly looks like someone in a remote area with a desire to learn and an Internet connection could get one heck of an education- for free. I've been reading the material for the Information and Entropy course.

Classic VB- possible comeback?

Joe LeVasseur — Wed, 30 Mar 2005 03:08:00 GMT
