This site is the digital home of Eric Appel, a web developer and photographer in Portland, Oregon.
Included in this site are tech related blog posts, my photography, and recent items from my digital life.
I currently work for Intel as the Lead Application Developer on Intel's Corporate Product Catalog.
My primary fluencies are in the Micrsoft stack (ASP.Net, C#, Silverlight, MS SQL Server, etc.), but I keep it fresh with platforms like jQuery/javascript and Expression Engine.
I've developed a number of sites that are live at the moment including ark.intel.com, EricAppel.net, AjaAppel.net, and SmartSetr.
Thank you to those who are willing to share their work with the community.
Site powered by DasBlog. Site also uses jQuery and Robert Penner's javascript easing equations.

Subscribing to a feed will let you get updates to any content on this site automatically. You can subscribe to any of the feeds above using an RSS Aggregator (Feed Reader) such as Google Reader. Once subscribed, the content for that feed will be delivered to you automatically as soon as I publish it.
SmartSetr now officially supports automatic updating of SmartSets . . . for the most part anyways. I can commit to updating everyone's SmartSets at least once per day, however, because of the bandwidth and server consumption required I probably won't bulk update everyone's sets more than once or twice per day. If you would like to make sure that your sets are all as up to date as they can be then simply visit the SmartSetr site and click "Refresh All SmartSets". If you haven't visited the SmartSetr site since January 10, 2007 then you will need to visit once more and auto updates will automatically be enabled for your account.
A second feature that has been added since launch is the ability to limit the number of photos that a SmartSet will contain. This makes it incredibly simple to create SmartSets such as Top 10 Most Interesting, or Top 10 Most Interesting of 2006, etc. that will be automatically updated daily. The maximum number of photos that SmartSetr currently supports in a SmartSet is 500. This may increase as I get time to test the Flickr API's limits.
