Cotton Rohrscheib

I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

One Programming Podcast that I subscribe to on my Zune is PHP Abstract. This podcast was put together by Matthew Turland and discussed Screen Scraping. This is kind of a “black art” but interesting nontheless. He discusses both Retrieval of Source Code using a function call and also a post call in PHP. He also […]

What is a Forum?

February 29, 2008 by Cotton Rohrscheib Leave a Comment

In earlier Blog Posts I have discussed the differences between Forums, or Message Boards, and their popular counterpart, the Blog.

It was a good read that discussed how the upcoming release of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 is finally going to offer support for CSS Tables. This should […]
