Connection Manager

Laptops are becoming more and more popular these days, but getting them online wirelessly can be a chore for people who aren’t used to that sort of thing. While Windows XP and Vista have built in connection managers, they aren’t exactly the most user friendly apps I’ve come across. Avanquest Software comes to [...]

I hate spam email as much as the next guy, but there are a lot of good uses for Email marketing software such as sending out newsletters or specials to those customers who have signed up for such things. Using something like Outlook Express can work for small lists, but if you’re sending out [...]

One thing I could certainly stand to do is be a little more organized. I forget little things a little too often (big things too sometimes, oops) mostly because I’m just too busy to remember it all. A new website is aiming to help people like me to get organized with Smead Organomics, [...]

Getting a web host, a domain name and installing a blog is fairly easy to do. Making a custom theme requires a fairly extensive knowledge of PHP programming, something which I lack. So once I got my blogs all set up I needed a new theme. The basic one that wordpress installs [...]

As usual we’re open even though it’s a national holiday. Business tends to be pretty good on this day but so far this time it’s been really quiet. The weather started out pretty dreary though but now that the sun is breaking through I see more people out and about. I spent [...]

There’s certainly no shortage of good web hosts out there and lately it seems that there’s no shortage of web hosting sites either. They’re springing up all over the place and in some cases seem to be little more than a collection of affiliate links wrapped in a ‘review site’ wrapper. Web [...]

Identity theft is becoming an increased problem these days, you have to be really careful of how you use your personal information whether it’s online, at home or in a regular place of business. It could be as simple as an unscrupulous employee at a restaurant or store copying down your credit card info [...]

Take this as a warning to never put electronics in a microwave, I knew bad things would happen but this is pretty crazy. The results are cool though I gotta say, as long as there’s a shotgun or an exorcist nearby you may be reasonably safe.

Tonight I learned it really pays to shop around a little bit when registering a domain name. Normally I use Bluehost for all my domains, they’re $10 a year and automatically renew. Tonight though the name I wanted to buy was a .ca and bluehost doesn’t allow those. I think only Canadian [...]

While there are a lot of free options out there when it comes to hosting for websites and blogs, I find that getting a paid host is much better. Sure, it’s not free, but you can do pretty much anything you want with it and it won’t be loaded with advertising from your ‘free’ [...]

It’s been a long time since I played an RTS (real time strategy) game on the computer, the last one I remember playing was Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 which came out a few years ago. The ones I played the most were Warcraft and Starcraft but since Starcraft 2 is still a [...]

People sell (and buy) the weirdest stuff on the internet. I remember a few years back a local guy sold a rat trap for something like $50. It was an antique I guess, but just the regular type, wooden platform with a big spring but I’m surprised it went for so much. [...]
