Windows Phone 7 HAM Application
So I really want to do a Windows Phone 7 HAM application and I am looking for comments on what people would like in that application. Give me some suggestions. I am working on a small Morse Code training application currently, but I am thinking something more. Do you want? A mobile log that will…
Updated Weather Site
So I finally got around to updating my weather site, www.redfieldweather.com. It has been something I have been wanting to do for a while. I couldn’t update it for the longest time because my hosting provider didn’t want to install ASP.NET 4.0 until they made sure it was stable. They just got my site switched…

Got My License
Well I just got my HAM radio license KD8FWV. This is something I have wanted to do for years. My dad WA8MNF has been a ham for as long as I can remember. Since they have removed the Morse code requirement from all the levels I figured it was about time. I only have my…
ASP.NET SQL Session State in a Web Farm
