Or, “Installing Flex Data Services 2 Express as a Windows Service”
This guide is for those who know nothing of Tomcat, yet are sick of having a command prompt in the background when you are trying to work with FDS. I’ll assume that you’re running Windows, and that you’re doing this on your local machine, so [...]
This morning, I made the mistake of installing Windows Media Player 11. The installer did it’s evil, and then lied to me, coaxing me to restart my machine to complete the installation process.
Well, restart I did, and up came the login prompt. Odd, I’ve set my desktop to automatically log in. But no matter… So [...]
This article is really a must-read. Some sites are just fast, fast, fast (like Gmail). Others are always slow, no matter the pipe you have (like wired.com). Aaron Hopkins will tell you why. (I ripped this link from here.)
If you’re here at MAX, just a quick reminder that we’ll be doing our SeeFusion demo at MAXUP this morning right after the keynote address. We’ll be giving away lots of swag–tshirts and free software. See you there!
Steve and I were walking through the casino (you have to walk through the casino to get anywhere around here) and ran into Ben Forta. We were on our way up to the room for some beers (hey it’s past 2pm already!) and offered a cold one to Ben. He declined, but was so impressed [...]

Just a friendly reminder about our earlier post this week. We’re giving away 5 3-server copies of SeeFusion throughout the week at MAX. Just track one of us down in our white Webapper shirts (logo on front), and we’ll give you a password to play our slot machine game in order to try to win. [...]
Early in 2007, Axosoft ran a promotion selling OnTime for $5. It made the rounds in the blogosphere, and over the course of a couple days, Axosoft picked up over 2500 new customers and had a little order fullfillment problem on their hands.
Fast forward to the present day, and I’m left wondering: How many of [...]
I’m reformatting my laptop tonight and went to upgrade the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Edition (MSDE) from the 1.0 RTM to SP4.
Damn the dreaded “The instance name specified is invalid” error!
I’ve installed this setup countless times and always had to futz, mess, finagle, tweak my setup command to get the darn thing to run. [...]
It took about 10 minutes of working at Webapper before being thrown into a Flex project. I’m new to Flex, to say the least. The good news is that I’m working on the CF side of this project, not the Flex side. What I quickly learned about Flex is that it runs into exactly the [...]
