New Web Hosting Provider

For the last year, I have been using Startloging to host computrout.com . I have had to problems with this provider, but I just wanted more features (whether I use them or not). With another webpage I help out with, I was using Bluehost. I just loved the features that they provided, so I signed up with them last week. What a difference.

I wanted to stuff added to my webpage, and I emailed their support. A couple of minutes later I had a response. Great Service.

With Bluehost, I now have Unlimited Disk Space. I have unlimited bandwidth. I can host unlimited number of domains (webpages). I have 100 MySQL databases (which I am using three at this point). Their servers seem to run faster. SSH Access (way cool! but you have to be a geek to appreciate). If you are looking for a webhost, I strongly recommend bluehost.com .

I Am A PC

I have really been impress with Apple's I am a Mac, I am a PC commericals. I believe this has helped then gain marketshare. Microsoft put out a couple of commercials with Sienfeld & Bill Gates that failed miserable. They made no sense, and did not speak technology at all.

Microsoft just launched three more commercials with a new theme. This goes against Apple's commercials, and Microsoft is using the "I Am A PC" to help kill off the stereotype that Apple is trying to give. I think they are well done. Kudos to Microsoft. Watch the videos below, and judge for yourself.

Let Your Fingers Do The Walking

Tonight I learned how to tear a phone book in half. Below is the book I tore in half (about 800 pages). That is what I get from watching Mythbusters, and having access to the internet. Don't tell anybody, but it is not really that hard to do.
