Computer Tips -Tech Info

I had undertaken an update earlier this evening to a “sister site” here…. the onlineradiotv.com site had started out as a wordpress 2.0 site and I thought it would likely be the easiest to upgrade to 2.0.2 which is a security upgrade and therefore high priority, but I’m just now getting to it. I know […]

I remember a time when I enjoyed April Fools – when I was real little I’d try the outlandish “there’s a tiger in the front yard” kind of stuff, later, perhaps more subtle…. but I’ve NEVER been a fan of the idea of a news reporting organization putting out an april fools story. Every day […]

I feel like I’ve done this article so many times in the past…. there are so many things I’m hoping to post and time seems to evaporate before my very eyes. This afternoon I hope to be posting a few things that have been on that list. I also have a few other projects that […]

Well, it’s annoying to me when my own computer has issues that I can’t seem to track down and off and on for the last year I’ve had annoying seemingly random shut downs (I mean it’s as if someone pulled the power plug). It was an AMD XP 1800 system. The first I noticed the […]

It seems I posted the 1000th article yesterday with the note on the recent IE vulnerability. (I wonder how many articles out of the 1000 were about IE vulnerabilities???) Anyway, nice round numbers like that are interesting to note as milestones. I haven’t been doing much in the way of updates for a bit and […]

I’ve had a flood of spammy pings on one specific post. I’ve disabled ping backs on that post and will continue to disable pingbacks when I see spammish “abuse” of the concept. I’d certainly rather not do this. One of the values of a pingback is if someone actually writes a RELEVANT article and cites […]

I think it’s time to pass along a long story of what’s gone on over the last week or so here and some of the reasons there hasn’t been anything posted. Generally, I would say that work has been busy, but something happened last week that went a bit beyond the day to day and […]

The last few days has been a situation of “too many things to do and not enough time”. I’ve got a growing list of items that I am interested to post in coming days, but things have been busy enough to keep me from it for the most part. It looks like this week (which […]

I’ve got a lot of posts related to shortwave radio and radio broadcasts online (and tv broadcasts online.) Which got me to thinking how I wanted to organize the information. There’s a part of me that wants to just work it into the existing structure of this site, however…. I guess my organizational side says […]

When I first checked this morning the site wasn’t responding. According to the logs I got hammered last night from avantgo (2 requests a second?). (So a couple hundred requests over a couple minutes?) Different IP addresses, all in the avantgo netblock. I guess I had a link from a popular page among AvantGo users…. […]
