I have a virtual dedicated server from godaddy. This is basically a virtual machine running on a shared host. So far it has been awesome. Works really well if I could get my forums to stop taking up too much memory I wanted to open up FTP for a project some of my former students [...]

I started using Google Public DNS the day I found out about it from DLS here. I have used open dsn in the past and I use that as my default at home. Why use both? How? Why use both Open DNS does a lot of protection stuff. It protects my 8.75 year old from [...]

Man can .vhd or Virtual Hard Drive files get big! At my day job we use a lot of Virtual Machines that run on Virtual PC. This is mainly my doing. The rest of the company mainly uses vmware, but I start with Virtual PC years ago at Business Integration Group and it just stuck. [...]

Best April fools joke and obscure at that. Saurik, the developer of Cydia has rickrolled everyone who is silly enough to click the cydia announcement that he has sold to MS. Now we all know that is a joke, but the rickroll from 2007 is just worth it.

In the WEB 460 class I am teaching at DeVry we are changing the rules a bit. We are working on a collaborative ecommerce site and in doing so we needed to have some sort of central repository. So we went with Git. Well Git has no central repo, so how does that work? Really [...]

Wow. You can even blog from your iPhone!

I just picked up my iPhone 3G on Saturday. Man what a phone and more. We have all seen the commercials and perhaps checked out an iPhone in person at a store, but nothing compares to bringing it home and using it for a few days. It really is an outstanding device. In the past [...]

I am sitting in my Keller class final (I am the Instructor) and I had some thoughts about how I took a final when I was a student. Here it is. Originally this was an email to my students. As you all sit and take the final a few thoughts occurred to me that I [...]

I felt I needed an app to do whiteboard sharing. This seemed like an easy thing to find, but it took a few days of talking about it before I found one I like: http://vyew.com/site/ It offers desktop sharing, whiteboarding, teleconferencing – who needs that when you have Skype? Anyway – I added this post [...]
