How to Create a HTML-style ComboBox in WPF and C#
07 Apr 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 5 Comments
Before I started doing software development in C# and WPF, I spent quite a bit of time with HTML. Because of this, I was used to having the ability to create drop-down boxes (known as select in HTML) to display lists of information with a “front-end” value the user could see and a “back-end” value that held data. For example, I could create a list of colors that would displ...

Forget the $41 million, could Color fail simply because of GPS limitations?
25 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 3 Comments
There has been an incredible amount of discussion about Color, a new – let me try to describe this – mobile-social-location-aware-photo-sharing app that recently brought in an eyebrow-raising $41 million of capital. Even venture capital group Sequoia Capital was surprised, saying: “Not since Google have we seen this.” That statement definitely caught people’s attentio...

Why I Left LastPass for 1Password
21 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 115 Comments
There are very simple reasons why password security is so important: 1) We can now access most of our private, confidential information online (bank accounts, email, and social networks), and 2) We’re lazy. I’m not trying to make anyone feel bad with that last point. I’m really lazy, too. For years, I used only a few passwords and rarely changed them. It doesn’t take a lon...

Dramatic Before and After Aerial Photos of Japan
15 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek
The New York Times recently created an amazing mashup using before-and-after aerial photos of the destruction in Japan. The article contains over a dozen images taken from regions in Japan that were impacted by the recent earthquakes and tsunamis. These images are interactive, so grab the blue slider in center to switch between the two images. The comparison is stark and really gives us perspectiv...

Chrome: ‘New Tabs At End’ Puts New Tabs at the End
10 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 2 Comments
Never has a title been more self-explanatory. Chris Finke, who has previously developed killer Firefox add-ons like TwitterBar, ScribeFire, and the innovative TapSure for mobile Firefox, recently brought some much-needed functionality to Google’s Chrome web browser: the ability to open new tabs at the end of the tab bar, just like Firefox. If you have a group of tabs open in Google Chrome a...

We’ve found a new home!
07 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 2 Comments
Over the weekend, we undertook a major site migration to a completely new web server. I’ll go into details on why we moved in a later post, but in short, we were having technical difficulties with our previous hosting provider and our site performance was suffering. That wasn’t acceptable, so we moved! Besides changing physical machines, we’ve switched from the ubiquitous Apache ...

WordPress: How to Fix Author RSS Feeds with the FD Feedburner Plugin
21 Feb 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
If you run a WordPress-based website and offer RSS feeds to your readers, the WordPress plugin FD Feedburner is invaluable. This plugin automatically redirects any RSS feed on your website to the correct Feedburner feed with very simple configuration. One problem with FD Feedburner is that it doesn’t support individual author RSS feeds. Since we have a team of writers here at Techerator, ea...
