Foursquare Etiquette: A Guide for the Misinformed
Feb 6th

- those who use it and love it
- those who used it and hate it
- those who have never tried it
- and those who have never tried it, yet still manage to hate it More >

Foursquare Badges: A Not-So-Comprehensive List

I have been asked on more than one occasion about foursquare badges. What are they? How many are there? How does one acquire them? And so on, and so forth.

MS Access Error Message: “Could not use ‘Admin’: file already in use.”
Jan 20th
I am the database administrator for a secured, multi-user, networked Microsoft Access database. Explaining the issues I have encountered while in my current job as applied to database administration would take more space than my hosting plan will allow!

The most common issue with drive permission and security is not access to the backend, but instead modified permissions. The resulting error message is almost always “Could not use ‘Admin’: file already in use.” More >

What the Hell is foursquare, Anyway? Let Me Explain.

I thought I would take a minute or two to type up a quick post about it. This is not meant to be a guide or a walk-through, nor is it all-inclusive. This is just a quick explanation of what foursquare is to me and how/why I use it. More >
