I’ve been reading alot about bandwidth caps, p2p throttling, etc. It’s all over the news and it’s just not getting any better. So.. being the business-minded individual I am, I started looking at / pricing out just what it would really cost to offer relatively decent Internet that was free and untethered. Here’s what I…

Updating Postfix on CentOS 5
Well, I decided today would be a good day to update the mailserver so I decided to do a yum -y all. Needless to say, it went well.. but dumbass me didn’t bother to check the mailserver. So.. needless to say, all day, I had my mailserver down due to the fact that the postfix…
More Apple store bullshit from employees.
So I just get back from the Apple store at the Bergen Plaza mall in NJ where I asked an employee, “When do you think Apple is going to fix the 3g issue with the iphones?” He replies to me, “It’s fixed. They fixed it with 2.0.2” I replied to him that it made my…
Things I’d love to have on the iPhone
Just a few things I’d love to have on my iPhone and what I’d pay for it. 1. VOIP client – I know it’s not allowed, but it would allow me to extend my pbx to wherever I was. $100.00 2. Bluetooth File Transfer and Transfer of Contacts and Such. $20.00 3. Slingplayer $50.00 4….
Syncing the iPhone 3g wirelessly
The iphone 3g is an amazing little device and while I’m not thrilled with Apple about how they run their business, I’m definitely fond of their phone. Just a couple of issues..

Apple Store Stupidity

A novel idea for Starbucks
It seems that Starbucks is getting their stock hammered these days. Here’s a simple marketing idea that also stresses their commitment to quality and service. Why not offer a “We get it right or it’s free guarantee?” Basically, a simple pledge to get your order right the first time or the order is free? It…
Overly Neurotic and Bored People…
I recently decided to post a few items on craigslist for free. I was getting rid of a few items and decided if someone needed those items, they could have them if they wanted to pick them up. Keep in mind I’ve had some horrible experiences with Craigslist people in the past and I could…
Leet Speak; Pure Ignorance.
It seems there are many people out there today who feel the need to make it near impossible to read their writings. They use terms like h4xxor or “All your systems are belong to us” or whatever the method of simply capitalizing every other letter. The bottom line is it’s just annoying and shows how…
Hosting Moved to Linode
Well, it’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve moved my blog to a new host and I really have to say that the folks at Linode are really great. I’ve been very happy with the service. Keep in mind that Linode is *not* a blog hoster, but a VPS host provider. It basically allows me…
