Moved site to free web hosting service

2006-04-25T16:01:00.000-07:00

My site of course has moved for now. I am using a free web hosting service that is actually pretty cool. You get 50mb of space, which should be adequate for most peoples web pages unless you have a lot of downloadable material, in which case this wouldn't work well just due to the amount of bandwidth your allowed each month. But for those of you just wanting a place to put your first website or a small website, this is it, check out Freespaces.com

Hackers publish two Windows exploits

2005-12-02T17:01:00.000-08:00

Check out this article at Yahoo News, apparently hackers have published some code tidbits of Microsofts over the internet for hackers to exploit some more holes in the Windows operating system, specifically in IE. Make sure to patch your pc often, just follow these steps:

1. Open IE, and click on Tools, the go to Windows Updates.
2. At windows updates choose to perform a custom update (this will
keep you from getting updates that you don't need, only the critical updates)

You should check for these once a month to keep your system clean and hacker free!

Getting fragged in real life...

2005-08-09T15:44:00.000-07:00

I love pc gaming as many of you who know me can attest to with FPS and strategy gaming. However, I can't game for more than 10 - 12 hours before I am totally exhausted and I take breaks between game play. Check the link out below for an article about a guy who played online games for 50 hours straight with his only rest being a few naps inbetween game play. And we thought that we couldn't get hurt playing video games, let this be a lesson to all of us that there is such a thing as too much gameplay. Keep fragging...

This is a simple way to keep your hard drive from getting too hot. There are devices out there that you could spend $20 on to cool your hard drive, but why waste the money. Even if you have to pick up a fan for $6, it is still a cheaper solution, check this article out, its definately a "cool" way to mod your pc. http://cheapbooks.com/bracket/bracket.html
