AOL .. why bother?
I’ve had an AOL account for years, but seldom use it anymore, other than using the AIM service now and then. When I bought my new PC with Vista a few months back, I didn’t add AOL since I didn’t plan on using it. Last night, mostly for shits and giggles, I decided to install the AOL 10.1 Desktop program… Continue readingFiled under Internet -

Domain names can make you rich
Seems that it can be quite lucrative if you have the right domain name and the right buyer. It’s no wonder that domain flipping is becoming a rather large industry these days.

It gives you a sense of creation and accomplishment.

ATT/Yahoo hates my Thunderbird
I have dozens of email addresses. Most of them are for web sites that I have set up, both for myself and my customers. The easiest way to keep track of them, send emails through them, and receive them, is through an email client. That’s what Thunderbird does, and it does it quite well.I have used SBCGlobal/Yahoo as my ISP for 2 years now, and have had no problems, either with their service or my emails. Now for the last 2 weeks, my Thunderbird program is having… Continue reading

That Entrecard thing …. and a contest
Many bloggers know what Entrecard is, many blog readers don’t. If you look over to the right, you’ll see a box that says “Entrecard”, with an image ad in it. It is basically a way for bloggers to advertise on each others blogs.
Anyway, WebmasterPlaza is having a contest to give away credits for Entrecard members. So if you have an Entrecard account, be sure to check it out… Continue reading
