Ok, it seems like the host I’ve been using had routing issues getting to my blog. From what I was told, it was a Level3 and/or Clearwire being blocked thing, not sure which. So until they get that fixed, I’ve housed this blog on my own service. It was relatively painless to move it over. [...]
According to this article, Facebook was going to require 1,000 fans to recieve your unique user name. It was a very stiff policy that would have left most Facebook users out in the cold. As of this morning, the 1,000 fan requirement is gone. Rejoice FB users, and delight in the gold rush for your [...]
I’ve been looking at starting a microblogging service for ham operators and a separate service for cloggers. The issue is, what software do I pick? Well, I’ve been looking around and found a few packages and haven’t found one I liked yet. I’ll give you a rundown of what packages I found, and my reservations [...]
Sometimes I miss the old days of computing. The old BBS’ and how geekycool it was to have a modem and talk to people online. Some BBS’ had tons of files, others had tons of message bases tied into something called Fidonet, yet others dealt in adult files, and they were all community based. This [...]

Well, and era will soon be over. Yahoo is finally killing off Geocities later this year and replacing it with a pay hosting service. Yeah, I cut my teeth on Geocities. I had an embeded midi music file and maybe 1 or 2 animated graphics. Maybe I shouldn’t have admitted to that. lol Do I [...]
It’s funny to me how many of these companies justify their competitiveness, or lack there of, by lobbying the Government. It’s not the Fed this time. No, it’s the state of North Carolina. What can’t the oh-so-big-and-powerful TWC compete with? Better services with a lower pricetag! Wilson, NC, and it’s 47,000 residence have had it [...]
Not much. Not much at all. I’m still unemployeed and it still sucks. Maybe it’s all that bad karma coming back to haunt me…. On the “new server” side….. Ok, it’s not the most reliable host on the net. They “provision” new accounts in the middle of the day (which would be no no if [...]
