Internet Freedom Preservation Act

In 2006, your voice helped stop mighty phone and cable companies from gutting Net Neutrality. In 2007, you pried open their cell phone networks and gave users a choice.
This year, we’re going to stop Internet blocking and censorship once and for all.

Moving to a New Server

My web host has suggested that I move to a new server they have online. That will be nice as it should make things a bit faster. I received this email earlier: Hello, Richard, after our monthly server evaluation we’ve identified that your account is one of the top 10 in terms of traffic, and…Read more

RecordNations

Not keeping proper records cost business millions of dollars every year and sometimes entire companies go down because of lack of proper planning. Look at the woman just arrested in Florida last week. Her employer was looking to replace her and she found out and then erased 15 years of architectural records, costing the company something like $8.4 million. Had they used proper storage management and had their important records stored in a secure off-site location it never would have happened.

Flock

I started my browser up the other morning and realized that Flock had been updated again. I think I am currently running version 1.07. I am really starting to like Flock. I don’t really use the Media bar but it does support all of the Firefox plugins, or the ones I use anyway. It also…Read more

Cool Cell Phone Apps at Cellware

As a web site, Cellware is still in it’s beta version but from what I have seen at the site, you couldn’t tell. It seems to be in full release to me unless they are going to be adding more features.

Monitor

Updated – I stopped at the hated Wal-Mart and picked up a Dell widescreen 19″. This is sweet. It actually has a much smaller footprint than the five year old LCD I was using. Now I can close the rolltop desk it sits on. Resolution on it is 1440×900. I feel the need for a…Read more

Meedio Download

Sorry about the slow loading times for the site today. I’m not real sure what’s up but it appears to be hanging up on MyBlogLog’s JavaScript tracking widget. I will give it another hour or so before I yank it from the site. I have been getting quite a few hits lately from the post…Read more

Home Computer Repair

I used to do quite a bit of PC repair and home networking stuff, particularly when I was working in the IT department at our home office. People still want me to work on their computers but I really just don’t have the time to devote to it anymore. I don’t do custom-built computers any…Read more

Plasma Lifts

I think I found a gadget that I want to get. I have been considering getting a plasma TV later on in the year to replace my aging television and hook to my HTPC but one of the things I want to make sure and do is to keep it low key. I came across…Read more

Getting Debate Videos on my Phone

I did a write-up on Avot mV and their official blog a couple of months ago and what they had to offer mobile users. Since then the site has really improved and now they also have the political debates that have taken place recently on Avot mV channels. There are channels for republican ads as…Read more
