by Matthew Smith · June 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Never fear, I’m still here. I’m just busy trying to get moved into my new place and adjust to life after college. I start my new job at Robins AFB on Monday, June 23rd. Sometime after I get situated in that, I’ll be back with fresh new words for the site, so stay tuned.
Ps, you [...]

I’m Finally Done with School!

by Matthew Smith · May 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s that time of year once again, when the last final is completed, the calculators and pencils are put away, and the books are burned (just kidding - they cost too much). However, I’m feeling a little melancholic for I have finished the last final of my undergraduate career. Five years of college, four years [...]

What is Beat House Productions?

by Matthew Smith · April 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Some of my Facebook stalkers friends (I kid, I kid) may have noticed a lot of recent activity on the Beat House Productions page. In case you are wondering what Beat House Productions is, I am here to clarify (more or less).

New MacBook Pro!

by Matthew Smith · April 3rd, 2008 · 5 Comments

Yea, I know… I’ve converted to the dark side.

If you’d told me two years ago that I’d be owning a Mac sometime in the future, I’d have laughed. However, over the past two years, I’ve used various Apple products at the computer store and helped friends with their Apple computers. I have become quite a [...]

by Matthew Smith · March 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments

I just finished upgrading to the newest version of Wordpress. So far, I must say that the administration back-end has received a fantastic overhaul and I’m enjoying the new features so far.

by Matthew Smith · March 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Read this page and you might be a little confused. Apparently the author wishes to bring monarchy to the United States enough to write a web page (in some form of what appears to be Middle English) all about it. Go read and then bring me your thoughts (in the form of comments).

Fourteen Days

by Matthew Smith · March 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Good heavens, the last post I made was two weeks ago! I suppose I have a little bit of explaining to do.

Over the past two weeks, I have had spring break, done a lot of maintenance on the BMW, DJ’d two parties, gone camping, had a job interview, and just plain grown older. Hopefully [...]

Dynamic Loading with eval()

by Matthew Smith · March 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

I may not be able to explain how cool this is, but I’m going to try.

Right now I’m working on a replacement for the nasty VBScript I posted a while back that updates the software installed on the computers at work. Sure, the script did it’s job but it wasn’t pretty to look at and [...]
