Real quick. Let me ask you this. Have you ever had a situation where a great opportunity was just around the corner… …and all of a sudden it slipped away? POOF! It just disappeared. I have and I’m sure you have too. Unfortantly… A lot of people are going to miss out on this golden […]

I have a saying… It’s a saying that has been in my head ever since I did my 1st million dollar run… And that is… “Do what you fear and the money will follow” I still say this all the time. It give me courage. Especially… When a new opportunity presents it’s self. I tell […]

Waiting for “the right time”… Can be like trying to find the end of the rainbow… I tell my son all the time… “When is now a good time.” Yup. Now. Grab this report now. Because… It’s an opportunity of a lifetime that needs to be seized now not later. Best Regards, Matt Bacak P.S. Grab […]

Deepfake technology uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) or advanced computing to generate convincing images, audio, or even video, that are not real.

Hackers commonly leverage social engineering to get a foothold in a company.

As the 3CX phone system grows in popularity across our client base, we thought we'd share a few tips on using it more effectively!

Here's what you can do after a hacker strikes.

Scammers have found they can leverage QR codes to steal your money.

Let's face it, Windows can be noisy. By default, it shows news, weather, ads, and lots and lots of popups. We limit some of these things for ITS TeamCare clients, but many are under your control.

Think of cyber insurance as disaster insurance. Hopefully you'll never need it, but it may save your company.

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage. However, it already has a dark side, and no, we're not talking about Skynet-level annihilation.

It's often helpful to take an image of your screen when working with tech support or showing someone how to perform a task. Windows has a built in Snipping Tool to capture what you see, and to mark up the image.

Similar to its long term migration to New Teams, Microsoft plans to replace the classic Outlook desktop app with New Outlook.

Adobe Acrobat subscriptions can be expensive. Did you know you can mark up PDF files for free using your web browser?

This spring Microsoft "gave in" to the EU and other governmental regulators and began unbundling Microsoft Teams from Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 plans.

It is easy being green! We've compiled a few tips to save power (and therefore money!) on your computer.

By October 2025 almost all Windows 10 computers should have been upgraded or replaced. But what if you can't replace all your old PCs in time?

We perceive computers slowing down over time for many reasons. The first is deceptively simple.

Oxybenzone, a UV-filtering compound used in sunscreens, has been found in high concentrations in the waters around popular coral reefs in Hawaii and the Caribbean. According to new research, the chemical not only kills coral, it causes DNA damage in adults and deforms the DNA in coral in the larval stage, making it unlikely they can develop properly...

In a new paper, researchers argue that a tendency towards self-sacrifice among humans is adaptive in some situations - for instance, a firefighter willingly risking his or her life to save someone from a burning building.

I have been writing simple AJAX applications for a while now. Up to now I have stuck with procedural JavaScript that fetchs raw HTML and inserts it in the page. I knew these methods were lacking, but I used them for quite a while anyway. I started reading about how to write object oriented JavaScript. I don't what took me so long to look into it. I've been using OO in C++ for about 10 years, and PHP for 3 years. I'm a big fan of objects. So tonight, I decided to write an Ajax object as part of a bigger scheme to buld myself a useful library for doing net stuff. I ran into some problems using a callback function for the xmlhttp response, but I figured it out. Next I started reading about parsing XML and JSON. I decided to try JSON since it sounded easier. I made a PHP class that converts an array of derived classes into a JSON object. I made a simple callback to parse the object on the client side, and write some boxes full of fake data into the page. Now everything is in place to use in a real application. I think I'll start with making an AJAX file/directory browser for a PHP project management system I'm developing. Then there are plenty of things I want to ajaxify.

It was my 28th birthday a little over a week ago. My little brother Garett got me a Nintendo DS Lite and New Super Mario Bros. It was a nice surprise. The DS Lite is a smaller version of the original DS with a brighter screen. It has 2 screens in a case that folds like a clamshell. The lower screen is a touch screen, which adds a whole new dimension to gaming. The DS has 2 speakers, with a surround mode that sounds pretty good. It has a built in microphone for voice commands, a headphone jack, and a AC adapter port. It has a rechargable battery that is supposed to last 15-18 hours on the dimmest screen brightness. When I turned on my DS for the first time, it had me go through some setup screens, like setting the time and date, choosing a profile name and color, and choosing some other preferences. After that it shows a default screen when it is turned on. The top screen has a clock and calendar, the bottom screen has buttons with different functions. There is a built in picto-chat program, which can be used to chat wirelessly with other DS's. I wish the DS came with more built in programs, such as a notepad, ebook reader, and a scheduler. It would also be nice to have some built in apps that use the Nintendo Wifi connection, like a web browser or instant messenger. New Super Mario Bros is a side-scrolling game that has elements from the 2D Mario games of the past. It has 8 worlds to explore. The world map is drawn in 3D, and is simular to the map style in Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World. The levels are drawn in classic 2D style, with updated backgrounds. Mario and some elements use polygonal models to enable some effects, such as the giant Mario. The graphics are drawn in typical Nintendo style, with bright colors and cute characters. Every level has 3 coins you can collect, to open special paths with require spending 5 coins. If you miss some coins you can always replay a level to try to find them. There are red and green mushroom houses in many of the special paths. In the green houses you can get up to 10 extra lives by hitting a sequence of blocks. New Super Mario Bros. also has 18 minigames that are mostly played using the stylus. There are some creative uses of the stylus, such as using it to aim a slingshot, or draw trampolines. Dani has been playing these mini-games every day. There is also a 2 player mode, which I haven't used because I don't know anyone with a DS. Overall, my DS lite is a very fun toy. I look forward to getting some more games for it. I think I'll start with Mario Kart DS and Metroid Hunters. Brain Age also looks interesting. I hope Nintendo makes a full featured painting cartridge, and more educational games. I think the creative and educational potential of the DS has not been fully realized yet.

I have just uploaded version 6 of the SproutWorks layout. This layout has a "grassy hills" theme that I think looks more pleasant. I will be adding more to this layout as I develop new features and graphics. I am also working on reorganizing my code. The code base is about 30,000 lines, and needs some better management tools. I have started to organize all the scripts, and have also been working on a PHP/AJAX project manager application. It will help me keep track of all my websites my keeping all the code synchronized.

I've just uploaded a new program I'm working on. It's an icon editor that uses AJAX to provite a multi-user editing experience. At this early stage in the program, many features are missing, but there is some basic functionality. You can select a color, then click on the grid. Your click will be stored on the server, where other people who view the page will see your work. When you change a pixel, you will see any changes other people have made to the icon. I will be adding some more real-time features and drawing tools in the near future. In the meantime, you can try to make simple pictures with the program. http://www.sproutworks.com/pixeleditor.php
