The Internet

Journal Journal: New Domain

Well I went and bought a domain and now have a website for my personal and side work. I paid a little extra for the domain name and custom dns service but I would prefer to support the opensource community with my money and if I can give a little assistance to DYNDNS.org they got it. And to think my ISP told me that i could not set up a domain on the webserver they provide with my account. Thanks to slashdot I found out about DYNDNS and their service works great. Thanks.
OS X

Journal Journal: OS X

Well after reading all the articles on OS X,I gave apple a chance so I had the chance to install and play with it this week at work. All I have to say is the hype is true, I never liked APPLE but after playing with OS X I can see the why people like it.....the one draw back is the price of the hardware. it is still pricey for my Cheap Ass . To bad they sold the IMAC that I installed OS X on. I would have liked to play with it for awhile.....

Journal Journal: The Lightbulb just went on!!!

I was just reading the article on alton brown and some questions just got answered....and the great thing,Is that the answers were in context that made sense. Thanks Guys..... Being a new comer to the geek world I'm always trying to learn new things. My ideal world is to be able to run every device in my house from my pc. lights,Heat and changing the channel on the televison. or better yet programming my palm to be a tv remote so when I go the the resturant I can pick my own programs to watch, not the lame sporting events they choose to show on them...

Journal Journal: What to do with old technology???

Everyday i check old technology why? are all these companys just using there profits to upgrade systems just to make the bottom line look more attractive. getting rid of a PIII 750 dual processors servers is just crazy. and all the 166,266 and 333 work just fine. But in the corporate world......the one with the biggest toys wins...don't you think there are people out there that would be happy with a 266....and with the software company's telling you, you have to get a better machine or the program wont run...(windows xp). think the software companys are in bed with the computer manfactures? War PII ps..now xp home won't support networking?????
