I just looked at the web logs for my web site, and found some one came in for a search “Michael O’Connor” normally I am use to my web site being hit #1 for “Michael P. O’Connor” but I never thought that I would get in the top 10 on Google for just “Michael O’Connor”[…]

I am getting tired of spammers. That is why I killed the guest book because I could not have a chance of approving or disapproving of posts. I doubt spammers will read this since they just use bots, they are no better the kiddy scripters. But if one ever does read this, you post will[…]
Do to the problem with spammers I have shutdown the guest book. I do this because unlike the blog software I have, the guestbook software does not have a feature that will allow me a chance to approve or disapprove of a comment, so for now, and until further notice the Guest book has been[…]
I like the idea of the Fish cam I been playing around with, but the problem I see with it is, is it worth the bandwidth. Or should I just set it up so that when I want to see it, it will just send the picture to me, and not constantly update a server.[…]
Well now that I know that it can be done, I just have to figure out how and where to put the fish cam. So now I have to look into buying that software I was testing, and how I want to put this stuff on the net correctly.
Right now I am toying with the idea of putting on my site a fish cam (web cam pointed into my fish tank). I am testing it right now, I want to see if it is posable, and how much bandwidth it will need to do this. Click the read more link to see the[…]
I have globably disabled all posting to the blog for now, hopefully the children will tire of it, and go away. But for now I am sorry to my friends that read this, I have to disable the comments because there are some imature children out there.
I have finally got the video section of the web site up. This is where I will put all the videos I put on my site. It should be a bit cleaner since I want to put a bit of a description on them and do not want them to be put in with the[…]
Why do people insist on posting hate comments even after I delete them? There been have too many as of late so far I had to ban 3 IP’s because I don’t wish to constantly monitor my web site. Oh well, I am sure after 3 weeks the emotions will clear up and people will[…]
I have been working on killing some of the errors in my error logs. I have not put up 404’s and 403’s pages for every site I host here. So today, I just put up some simple 404 and 403 pages; I should have done that from day one. Plus I put a robot.txt file[…]
It is not the best but it is nice, I like how it looks. It is simple but it does the job.
This weekend I hope to put together a section for my web site for all the videos I have posted here. I am not sure how I am going to do it at this moment.
Now that the election for the most part is over, I am going to put to comments back on normal mode. I hope the trolls will not troll around here. But I will delete any comment that I deem inappropriate.
I was talking to a ham friend of mine about the new domain I have and said I am thinking of doing a website on the domain along with the email. And he said since it will be a ham radio website, I have to do it in 90’s style since a lot of personal[…]
Today I found out about the .radio TLD. I also found out that while it normally 200+EUR ham radio operators are given a discounted price of 25EUR (about 30USD) a year, and I thought it would be nice to have my call sign as a domain. so I registered kb3hcg.radio right now I have it[…]
