I have gone a little script crazy this week. This time around, I was playing with ActiveX Data Objects and accessing Windows data source objects using ADODB. Mind you, I don’t normally code for the Windows platform. But since there was need for it, who am I to argue. So here’s the quick and dirty for accessing these data source objects using ADODB via PHP, ASP, and Javascript. I also did it with VB and C++.

This one goes out to all the shell script junkies out there as well as those who are just starting to pick up the dark art. Often times, you’ll find yourself needing to manipulate and check access, creation, and manipulation dates of different files.

Wednesdays are great for movies simply because of the discounted ticket prices. For us, it was a choice between The Fast And The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift and Disney/Pixar’s animated feature Cars.
