Some "new" old music - Powerman 5000

Just been listening to PM5K "Tonight The Stars Revolt". A few weeks back a buddy had this cd playing in his truck, and damn did it sound good! So I picked it up on eBay for like $5 - well worth it!

What happened to these guys? You've got Rob Zombie's brother Spider on vocals (and Rob contributes vocals to one song), heavy music like White Zombie - the complete package as far as I'm concerned. I know they made at least one more album ("Transform", which I think was recorded, scrapped, then re-recorded), but they kinda dropped off the face of the earth after "Tonight The Stars Revolt".

Let's have a toast to what should have been - lift 'em high for Powerman 5000!

Tracksy - free web stats

Use Tracksy to view blogger stats. I didn't read any of the instructions originally and didn't set it up correctly...it's pretty sweet if your blog is hosted on blogger.com - just login, click "add new site", then there's a section labeled "Blogger Users" (which I missed because it was below the "add new site" section - funny how we navigate the web, clicking on the first things we see on a page, but that's another discussion for another time). Anyway, then just select your blogger site, and Tracksy hooks itself up automagically.

Update: I don't know if that automatic hookup to blogger works or not. I ended up adding my site to Tracksy, then clicking "get HTML code", and I copied the Tracksys code into my Blogger site template. Now it does work, and you get site stats real-time - very cool!!!

And here's the Tracksy Blog.

This site helped me with Hiding a Row in ASP.NET - he's got a bunch of useful programming links for C#. Here's his main blog: Scott Elkin's blog.

Setting the focus on an ASP.NET page

This could be useful! I have this issue on a login page I made at work a few months ago. It bugs me that I'm not setting the focus to the first field on the form - I'm going to convert the code in this link to C# and give it a shot.
