I looked up the official court records for my parents, Randall Gross & Linda Gross. What I found was a dry look at 12 years of a painful ongoing battle…. divorce, remarriage, divorce again (and that leaves out 4 unofficial breakups!), 2 restraining orders, domestic abuse conviction (not shown), continuous child custody battles, and official declarations from most family members, friends, neighbors, church members, church pastors.… read more “Most Acrimonious Divorce Ever- Randall & Linda Gross”
Tales
I have had quite a few happy & sad tales during my short lifetime. I will be publishing a few of the interesting ones over the next week or so.
ScoreTask is Coming….
My new ASP.NET web application, ScoreTask, is currently under development. In the next month the initial version will go live. Some benefits of ScoreTask are:
- Simple, cloud-based task management system

htaccess Redirect Without Changing Address Bar URL
I had a problem: I wanted any URL that showed up after a certain directory to just pull from one file. So for example:
www.example.com/images/tree.jpg
www.example.com/images/2345.png
www.example.com/images/823947dfkasdf-dasdlkfjjk.html
All should point to:
www.example.com/image1.png
I found this excellent solution from jdMorgan at Webmasterworld:
