For future reference, and to hopefully keep others from having hours of frustration.
<=IE8 cannot handle HTML comments inside the param section of an object tag. So if you have:
<object>
<param />
<!--<param />-->
<param />
</object>
The entire section will fail.

I started rewriting Project Starfighter using Javascript and the HTML5 Canvas.
A lot has been completed, but much remains. I think the basic structure of the ships and weapons is done as well as gameplay logic, although some tweaking remains.

Here is a game I wrote a while ago. I don't think the concept was mine, but I rewrote it in Javascript...
The goal is to make the entire grid one color is 22 plays or fewer. To do this, you select a color from the bottom row at which point all contiguous squares from the top left change color.

I wrote this for a friend and then decided to post it here. If you would like me to expand on something or clarify, please comment.
The top laptop brand, in my opinion, is Apple. Apple hardware is more reliable and better designed, as is their software. This comes at a price. It is up to you to decide whether it is worth it. I have an iBook G3 from 2001. I still use it to watch DVDs, and the battery still lasts through an entire film.

Every so often, I get asked for a recommendation for a content filter — usually accompanied by the adjectives perfect or best. My answer is that the best content filter available is called Parental Supervision. It is free and easy to install, but difficult to maintain…

I recently saw a TED Talk by Simon Sinek. The more I think about the ideas presented, the more profound the concept appears. I would recommend watching it.

As the final project for Choral Composition, my assignment was to write an original choral work. The choice of text was mine, so I decided to pick a little known Latin plainchant and use the text as the basis for my work. It turns out that "little known" happens to only apply to me in this case... Anyway, I found this awesome text called "Victimae paschali laudes", and decided to write a setting for it.

Over the last year I have been cleaning up a mess of fake antivirus applications. A pattern has developed which will hopefully allow anyone to remove these themselves.
In a nutshell, you need to kill or bypass the virus in order to run MalwareBytes Free Edition to remove it.

In the list of presentations for the WELS 2011 Worship Conference is a session on the new Hymnsoft player (page 8). Sounds like progress has finally been made.
On another note, I wish I could attend everything there. I was in the high school honor choir last time, and will be going again this year as a full attendee. I will hopefully be in the Festival Chorus...

I have had to make Hymnsoft work with increasing adoption of Windows 7 x64 at Salem, and have come up with some workarounds for now.
