Anyone who works in the I.T. field knows how frustrating it can be when talking to the average user. You need a lot of patience to make it through the day because not every user knows what they're talking about. Some user will get the wrong terminology for something and lead you to believe one [...]
For the past couple of days, I've been attempting to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on a USB flash stick. I've followed the tutorials word for word and so far, it's sort of working. My only problem is that nothing saves. I'm trying to follow the other tutorials that show you how to save your [...]
I don’t like getting calls from telemarketers because I don’t like to be sold a product that I don’t know anything about. I prefer to research a product on my own and build an opinion of it on my own. But what’s equally annoying are calls from third party companies who are “calling on behalf” [...]

The latest version of the Mozilla Firefox browser was released a few days back and I downloaded because I made a pledge to download it. Mozilla was looking to get into the Guinness Book of Records for the most downloaded software or something and I think it achieved it. I didn't know exactly what to [...]
People at work can give you a lot of attitude when you're doing something that they don't like. Even if you're doing your job and your job involves interfering with that they're doing. I sometimes get that around here but I usually brush it off because I have a duty to perform. If I inconvenienced [...]
If you work, I'm sure that you work hard for you money so it's only right that you keep the majority of it. As Canadian workers, we have to share part of our pay cheque with the government but there comes a day when you stop working for the government and start working for yourself. [...]
I went to watch the Incredible Hulk last night with my girlfriend and I'd have to say that it was pretty good. The animators did a good job with the CGI and they integrated the Hulk into the movie seamlessly. There were a lot of actions scenes where the Hulk was fight and some of [...]
My bank account manager recommended that I cancel any credit card that I haven't used in a while. Even though I've already cut them up, it's still a good idea to cancel them with the credit card company, you know, just in case. I took his advice and canceled my CitiBank credit card. I haven't [...]
I am in the process of merging my blog with my photoblog. I got a little tired of having to manage to different parts of the site so I decided to put them together.
The service is done importing the entries into the existing database but it still has to move the uploaded files over. If all goes well, everything should be added and I should be all set. I just have to edit them so that everything shows up on the main page.
I'm sorry for the downtime of this site but it couldn't be helped. My hosting company attempted to charge my credit card but it was declined because I had canceled my credit card. I told them that but they still went ahead and suspended my account. Nonetheless, it's up and running now and everything is back to normal.
It's been a long time since the layout of this site has changed. I want to keep on top of this whole designing hobby of mine so I'm planning on making a new layout soon. If time permits me out of my busy schedule, I'm hoping to get something out around the beginning of September.
My site was down for a few minutes because the system administrator was doing some maintenance on the database. My whole website is pretty much database driven so if that goes down, most of my pages will fail, especially my blogs.
I gave 1&1 a call and the person I spoke with informed me that the system administrator was doing some work on a machine and my database just happened to be on that machine. He said that it might be down for a while but no more than 12hrs. Majority of my visitors would be sleeping right about now so they won't notice it much.
Miraculously, my site was back up as soon as I got off the phone with 1&1's tech support. This was the first time I had to call them up and they were pretty good about it. That's why I usually recommend 1&1 to people that ask about web hosting.
After Munni posted a link in the shoutbox, it kind of made things not look quite right. The shoutbox isn't meant to contain words that are super long.
Right now, I'm trying to truncate the links so it'll show the domain but turn that into a link. I'll be working on hyphenating words that are more than 32 characters long. But one step at a time here.
Please let me know if things don't work for you and I'll have them fixed.
