Now with Google API added

Posted on 11/28/2009.

I've had a want to integrate my Google Picasa web album into my web site for a long time now. This afternoon I sat down and figured out how to access the Gdata API to allow me to get at my web albums. The system fully authenticates and uses simple GET/POST challenge and response to do the bulk of the work. I then break down the responses and use the data I need to make the magic happen. The gallery on the right will change once ever 15 seconds to a new image. You can click on the image to view the full web resolution image.

Windows 7

Posted on 10/18/2009.

Tonight I installed Windows 7 for the first time after seeing it in the Community Technical Preview release a few months ago. I'm quite impressed by what Microsoft has released. Brings back a lot of the same feelings when the upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows XP happened. Plenty of good things included with the software, installed without a hitch, drivers worked out of the box and the machine was overall snappy in regards to performance. 

Looks like Microsoft has a winner again after the failure of Windows Vista.

Welcome to Bschaefer.net

Posted on 10/11/2009.

Welcome to the re-re-relaunched Bschaefer.net /Biggs-place.com.  November 2009 marks 10 years of ownership for me with Biggs-Place.com.

This site is the culmination of a few different CMS's that I've written in the past and lots of new code that I wrote in the past month. I hope to add a section now and then in addition to updating the front page of the site a little more regularly.

Browse around the site (what little there is now) and tell me what you think.
