read moreZenbook and ASUS RMA Blues
Some of you may recall that I purchased an ASUS Zenbook UX21E 11″ Ultrabook back in late 2011. The Zenbook UX21E was the first generation Zenbook and was the UltraBook showcase for Intel. It was hoped to be the PC alternative to MacBook Air. As I was primarily a Windows user and was looking for a lightweight, yet powerful laptop, the Zenbook UX21E seemed to be a proper choice. When I purchased it, it ran great at the time, albeit some minor issues. However, over time, significant issues developed with the Zenbook, as power and battery...

On Saturday, I went to the Twin Cities Code Camp 14 event over at the University of Minnesota. As with previous TCCC events, the event started off early in the morning at 8:15 AM, with continental breakfast provided by Thomson-Reuters, followed with a welcoming session after at 8:45 AM.

Hope everyone in the U.S. had an excellent Thanksgiving holiday weekend!While most of us here in the U.S. had several days off, it appears that some hackers in Russia had a field day with the Y-Corner forums, as the forums were compromised by spam bots. The spam botters took advantage of a phpBB3 registration exploit, allowing them to register accounts and bypassing e-mail activation. This allowed them to create over fifty spam bot accounts on the forums in a very short amount of time and posting spam posts all over the forums.Fortunately, I...
read moreDesign Changes for Y-Corner This Season
Recently inspired from this past weekend’s Twin Cities Code Camp 13 event, I will be making several adjustments to this blog site over the course of this season to implement several of the web development concepts that I picked up from Josh Broton‘s two sessions ( & ).

If you feel that any of the site changes have made things far worse than better, feel free...

With tax season in full, I’ve been working away to get my taxes done. As always, taxes are never fun to do, but the tax refunds make up for it (for the most part). Also, as my previous roommate moved back to Korea, I am currently searching for a new roommate. If there’s anyone that’s interested in renting a room in a two bedroom condo unit in Minneapolis, MN near...
