WebHostingPad – Review – Think Twice…Better Yet Don’t Do It!
In January I set out to find a new web host and at that time actually entered into an agreement with WebHostingPad.com (I’m not even giving them the courtesy of a backlink). I should have been wary and backed out of my agreement as soon as I discovered that their pre-sales “chat” representative had misrepresented [...]
Review – “Line Notes” by Thank You 5
Paper pushing and theatre productions seem to go hand in hand. There are myriads of things that go into a production, everything from audition forms and cast lists to sign-in sheets and line notes. As a relative novice to theatre and a seasoned professional in the software industry I began a search to find a [...]
My Sprint Mogul Phone – Review
I have moved my cell service to Sprint… there will be another review of what an absolutely AWFUL transition that was… This review will focus on my new phone – The Mogul. This device is made by HTC and I must say that when I was with my prior cell provider I had a very [...]
Xobni – In All Fairness… an Update
It was pointed out to me by a reader via email that I haven’t really kept you all in the loop with my Xobni saga… So this brief post will hopefully get you all up to speed and give you some insight of what I am working through and still hope to get resolved. Unfortunately, [...]
Blog Host Change – Apology and Retraction…
In the past month I have had two full weekends that the blog has been inaccessible due to problems at my webhost – Flexihostings. I was left no alternative, after another full day today where they could not resolve the problem, but to change webhosts. This evening I moved the entire blog, all images, databases, [...]
Say What You Need to Say – Movie Review – Bucket List
The subject of death and dying is not a very pleasant subject to talk about. In the “Bucket List” our lead characters, played by Nicholson as the wealthy billionaire and Freeman as a family man and mechanic, face death head on when both are diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through the course of the movie, these [...]

What to Look for in a WebHost?
I’ve been hosting my own websites for a number of years and I’ve tried a good many webhosts including 1and1.com, westhost.com and hostgator.com and I can honestly say that of all of them that I’ve tried, the best (based on my needs) for the price has been from flexihostings.net. [RETRACTION HERE - I NO LONGER RECOMMEND THEM!] I’m [...]
Pan and Tilt Camera – Installed and Operational – Review
On the Deep Lake page I have installed an Mcam 100 Motion Digital Web Camera. Created by a Korean company, this camera features 180 degree Pan and 100 degree tilt controlled remotely via the Internet. It really allows me to enjoy my lake view when I am away traveling for business or when I’m at our other [...]
Review – National Treasure – Book of Secrets
We went and saw this movie the night it was released and I can honestly say that for a sequel they did a pretty good job. I found it just as entertaining as the first movie and it kept my attention for the full 2 hours. The plot was a bit predictable and seemed a [...]
