Decorating for Christmas

  • 7 Dec, 2005

I’ve put up a few lights and added some snowflakes to the site this morning to help spread a little Christmas cheer! Let me now if something looks odd or there are usability issues. I use big monitors and a Mac so who knows what the PC world will see. 😉 Let me know what […]

Welcome Back Referrer Karma

  • 5 Dec, 2005

Sad to say, but it had to happen. Referrer spam picked back up and I had to re-install referrer karma. Now the last thing I want to do is block out any real people. So, if you have any issues with this blog, please let me know so I can fix it right away. Hopefully […]

Prefetching with Fasterfox is Bad

  • 1 Dec, 2005

It’s come to my attention that prefetching with the Firefox extension Fasterfox could be bad and causing extra strain on yours, and other peoples, webserver and possibly pocketbook! Fasterfox, in essence, is a prefetcher. It reads the page you are currently browsing and attempts to download all of the other pages being linked to. When […]

Welcome Winter? Maybe.

  • 29 Nov, 2005

Winter has arrived for the third time this year. Yes, third time. It seems that after the last two times the temps skyrocketed and we lost our snow. So we are trying again. Yesterday it was in the low 50s and it rained and even thundered all day long. Today it’s around 20 and snowing. […]

St Louis, Arkansas and Back

  • 26 Nov, 2005

We are back and ever so happy to be. Our vacation was good but it really makes you like being home when you get back. St. Louis is a great town. We didn’t spend much time in the actual city, but rather an hour outside. However we did make it in on a few occasions. […]

Happy Turkey Day to everyone! I’ll be out on vacation the week of Thanksgiving so I probably won’t be posting much. However, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and a good start to the holiday shopping season. 😉

Websites to Note

  • 18 Nov, 2005

I have this habit of dragging URLs to my desktop and saving them for a later time. I always mean to post about them or do something with them. What I end up with is a mess of URL files on my desktop. So, today, I’m posting information about all the URLs I have. This […]

LED Christmas Lights

  • 14 Nov, 2005

While out shopping with my Mom over the weekend, I came across LED Christmas lights. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) lights are a new bread of Christmas lights. They have some amazing features that I can’t help but get excited over. Indoor or Outdoor – That’s always good. Cool to the touch – With no filament […]

Opening a G3 iMac

  • 13 Nov, 2005

A few weeks back I complained about opening a Mac Mini and said that most Macs I tried to open up were so easy. Well add another easy one to the list. I upgraded my mom’s G5 iMac from 192 Mb to 384 Mb. That’s a pretty good change to me and it was so […]

Firefox Extensions List – Nov.

  • 11 Nov, 2005

One of the greatest things about Firefox is the fact that it comes with extensions! That means you can add extra features to the browser above and beyond web browsing. The best part is that you can customize the browser for your needs. You are in control! With that said, here is my November Firefox […]
