What a Difference a Cable Makes

Posted on October 9, 2008 by squirrelman

I don’t think I realized just how fast a cable modem direct Internet connection was.  At home I’m on a wireless network; at work I’m on a wireless network; and in remote office I was on a wireless network.  At our remote office we just got internet service.  I’m on the direct line, and I [...]

Shop ’til You Drop

Posted on October 6, 2008 by squirrelman

I love shopping.  I really do.  Please don’t let my wife read this post.  A good bargain is a shop-aholics dream come true.  And, in my humble opinion, no one can find the best prices like I can.  Especially on the Internet.

Long Island’s Top Websites List – Revisited

Posted on July 30, 2008 by squirrelman

I’ve tried a few avenues/channels, but I’m welcome to [...]

At least Google recognizes us.  From nothing to a Page Ranking of 4 from Google.  This could be the tip of the proverbial iceberg… so long as there’s no global warming and we’re not flooded.  Well to be flooded by visitors wouldn’t be a bad thing.  Bring a snorkel… and order some scuba gear.  The [...]

The Day the Internet Died

Posted on June 9, 2008 by squirrelman

It didn’t last.  For a few hours though we were without the Internet.  Do you realize just how dependent we’ve become upon the Internet?
We had a brownout here for about 90 minutes.  Power was finally restored; Cable was fine; VOIP was fine; but we couldn’t access the Internet (we have cable access).  How bizarre.
Obviously we [...]

Firefox 3.0

Posted on May 21, 2008 by squirrelman

Release candidate 1 is available now for downloading/testing.  I’ve been using it now for two days and I’m very impressed so far.  It renders pages faster, looks a little sleeker.  One thumb up (pending second thumb after it’s running for about a week).
If you’d like to comment and provide your own feedback, I started a [...]
