Yes, I know, It’s about time. Last night I finally got around to upgrading my Ubuntu install on my mail workstation at home from 7.10 to 8.04. Well, I shouldn’t say upgraded, because it was a fresh install. I used the default graphical install, which basically means that the new install took a long time. […]
The lucky winner of the draw was Inphonex. After a whole lot of searching the web and EULA browsing, I decided to go with Inphonex. What I found was that most of the residential VOIP companies carry the same sort of undesirable EULA that Broadvoice does. On top of that, there appears to be a […]
I have to admit that I have been using Broadvoice for quite a while now. We even use it for the TechShow as well. They have served pretty well with only a few growing pains and problems early on. All would have been happy ever after if I hadn’t read a horrible Broadvoice review on […]

This is an institution which boasts that in just 6 months it can turn your life around with an exciting new and high paying career […]
I have never been much of a supporter of the big social network websites like myspace, etc.. I have never seen much use for them. Well, that is until recently. Just recently I was contacted twice through facebook by old friends. One who was nice to the fat kid and helped me through hard times […]
I had a nice weekend. My parents came down for a visit, and while here, surprised me with an early Christmas gift. They knew I dug my Keurig coffeemaker t work and bought me a personal model for home. It’s a Keurig Elite B40. If you haven’t seen these things in action yet, they take […]
My wife just snapped this pic of my dog Precious on her cameraphone and sent it to me. How could anyone not love that face?
