Published on: September 21, 2005

Before I wrote the domains off I emailed my registrar and I just got a message back that they had the problem fixed, so I have those domains for another year. I don’t think I am going to do with them what I was going to do with them before, I will have to think[…]

Published on: September 21, 2005

Well today I found out that one of my domains I owned expired a while back, I never got notice of this, I never got a renewal notice for that domain either. Another one I have expires today, I can not for the life of me figure out how to renew domains with my registrar.[…]

I had a funny thing happen to me on the bike ride home today. While I was coming down Bayard St this young girl in a red BMW must not have liked the fact that I was on “her” road. So even though there was plenty of room to pass me while staying in the[…]

I just checked over at the NHC‘s web site, and according to them Hurricane Rita is now a cat 5 Hurricane with wind speeds of up to 161 KNOTS and the pressure at 700 MB. I wonder what will happen to the coast of Texas now? We saw the damage that a cat 4 (Katrina)[…]

I am thinking about seeing if I can get a bike ride going of the hams in the Pittsburgh area, I first mentioned it on the traffic net tonight. I came up with the idea when some one else on the traffic net said that he went for a nice bike ride today. I found[…]

The DVR I got from comcast is being a major pain. Not only do I have to deal with the 5:20am and 5:40pm freezing bug. I found that, that bug is very common on all comcast DVR’s. But now it is freezing every 30 minutes today. They have replaced it once already. If it was[…]

I was just looking though my logs and found a hit that came from blogsearch.google.com looks like google now has a search that returns only blogs, maybe they can use this to remove blogs from their main search site. That would be a good idea, when I go to google I am not looking for[…]

We now have normal blogs, photo blogs, and audio blogs (podcasts) I partly dread the day that Video blogs (or vblogs) start to hit be done. Just what we all want, to see some fat guy sitting at a desk talking about what he does not like or what he likes doing nothing. I can[…]
