I've been thinking about writing a few more articles for CP, but the problem is that I can't seem to find enough time to write full-length articles. Given my time constraints, I only have enough time to write articles that are two to three pages long. The articles aren't short enough to be just code snippets, and they might not be long enough to get past a "2" or "3" rating.
So anyway, my question is this: should I just wait and clump everything together into one big article, or would writing these "micro" articles be a sound strategy?
p.s. I could just post these articles on my blog, but I doubt it will get nearly the same amount of exposure as a CP publication. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Go ahead and write them. I would make sure to get the additional articles up a short while after posting so it doesn't keep people waiting.

Depends on the content. I've seen short articles with powerful content fetch very respectable ratings.

I would much rather have a very short, explanatory and stimulating article than lots of code and examples.
Hope I haven't set the bar too high.

I played with the sony version in a store about a year ago. Nice gadget but more than I was willing to pay for a single use device: the half secondish refresh time for the screen mostly eliminates any sort of interactive use.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

I've not used one, but did consider it for a very short while ... like 1 day ... until I saw the price.
I highly suggest you go read the user reviews for that device, and the Sony Readers, that are posted on Amazon.
There is a lot of valuable information, both good/bad, there, that might help you.

Well I'd always wanted more charting functionality. Trying to hack a stack chart into a gant chart isn't fun.

Hello all,
Last week I was in a customer enterprise and I was capable to connect to his wireless network to get internet connection without any problem...
Today I'm back at his facility and even I can connect to the wireless, I can't connect to internet through it...
One coworker with an XP laptop can connect to the internet using the same wep password and I don't know what can happen here...
Any idea?
As always thank you in advance...
PS: I've sent this post using the phone internet connection...
I've solved it by using a tip in a geek web page I've found using the other laptop...
The solution has been:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
netsh winsock reset catalog
RESET
And it has made the trick...
Let's work properly!

Check more than one other PC.
Perhaps router issue;
I had a Linksys wireless g router firmware version 3. It developed odd behaviors of not being able to connect to it. I could not even log into it’s user interface when I was wired into it. I replaced it with same type of router but version 8 firmware. On purchasing it I read comments such as “does it have version 6 or better firmware, that is not hackable like the earlier versions”…
I’m not saying my wireless router was hacked, but a version check compared with vulnerabilities to that version might be in order.
Also an electrical disturbance can mess up the memory, and sometimes you have to reload the configuration (happened twice to me during electrical storms, (now on UPS with surge suppression))
2 cents, good luck.

Thank you, it has been solved...
Navigating the Internet with the other computer has helped me a lot, I've used:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
netsh winsock reset catalog

Start with basic troubleshooting?
ipconfig /all
Check if you got IP address if you're on DHCP, if you have static IP addresses check that you're on the right subnet and that you have valid gateway. If that all works out check if you can ping 4.2.2.1 if you can it means your internet works, but DNS isn't.

I don't know why I can't post the same answer to more than one user...
It has been solved.
Thank you for your answer!

I just foolishly tried to delete 7M records, and after ten minutes, tried to cancel the operation. Everything on my PC got sucked in by the gravity of that transaction log.

You finally decided to delete your “red pad”, and have had second thoughts after 10 minutes?

Been there, done that. Then the president of the company called and asked if there was anything I was doing that might possibly be causing any slowness of the system.

I'm sure the argument could be made they aren't viruses, but browser exploits which aren't the OS.
That will be the arguement Mac users will say.

[Mac Guy - sounding stuffed up] Hi. I'm a Mac.
[PC Guy] and I'm a PC.
[PC Guy] What's wrong Mac, you sound congested
[Mac Guy] I don't know *sniff* I think I have the flu or something *sniff* *cough* *weez*
[PC Guy] Ah, I'm used to that. I have so many levels of protection, colds and flus hardly bother me. And if I do
get sick, my immune system is so strong, I'm normally better in a day.
[Mac Guy] *aaaahhhhhCHO!* I think I just downloaded in my pants *cough* *gag* *weez*
[PC Guy - Shaking head] Kids these days.

HA! Excellent play on words.
We just need Microsoft's Marketing department to get in touch with us, cut a deal, and we can start the PC commercial onslaught.
I'd like to suggest we use Jessica Alba as our "Windows Vista" girl ...
She's got a great front end and back end, and damn, if I would like to push her buttons.
Kinda brings all new meaning to "Where do you want to go today?"
