I’m in the process of moving my blog to a new server.  Let me know if something breaks.

I am a Dish Network subscriber, and the majority of the time I’m pretty happy about it.  Aside from a few initial billing issues (mostly with getting a rebate setup) I hadn’t had any problems.  That was, until about a week ago when I decided to switch from my America’s Top 200 package to the DishHD package (only HD channels).

I downloaded Qumana to give it a try.  It seems pretty nice so far, but I don’t see anyway to modify the content of a page.  If this is something it can’t do the software is of no use for the use I was looking into it for.  I think the Qumana developers should seriously look into adding that functionality.

I don’t usually post YouTube videos of people trying to be funny, but this one was pretty good.

Forgot to mention, in preparation for the nearing release of the Protrade Stock Watcher, I’ve added the Protrade.Woogu.com site to my network of sites. There’s not much there yet, but if you’re interested in the Protrade tracker, stay tuned to that website for news and release info. The Protrade Stock Watcher is a nice piece of software that will help members of Protrade perform stock analysis and collect a wide assortment of data on all their favorite stocks!

Recently I’ve been looking into some web hosting for a new ASP.Net website idea I’ve been toying with for a while. However while researching potential hosts every time I google reviews the majority of them are negative. This leaves me with the question; do people only go to these sites to “review” their host when they have something bad to say? Is it just a public forum for unsatisfied clients to bitch and moan, or do people actually write positive reviews when there is something good to say?

Just for the hell of it, I searched for a few reviews of my current (linux based) host, which I’ve never had a major issue with, and again the vast majority of the reviews were negative. This furthers my belief that people only post to these sites when they have something bad to say.

Does anyone have any experience with this; either posting a review, working/running a hosting company, and so on. Also, does anyone have a Windows web host they’d recommend? Shoot me an email and let me know.

The Bears season hasn’t been so hot this year (they are now 5-6) but at least there is something entertaining to watch with them.

Chicago WR/PR/KR Devin Hester. Hester is mocking history. The record for touchdowns on kickoff-returns and punt-returns, for now, belongs to Brian Mitchell, who scored 13 combined returns in 223 career games. Hester, after an 88-yard kick return and a 75-yard kickoff return for scores in the same quarter against Denver, now has 11 touchdowns on kickoff- and punt-returns in 27 career games. He is simply amazing. You can count on two fingers the number of times he was touched by a tackler on those two returns.

The title is just a little advice for those who I’m sure need it as the apparently both lack basic living skills. “Who?” you ask? Why Britney and K-Fed of course!

I always knew they were messed up, but I never realized how much a bunch of hicks Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were. I just saw this on CNN.

What really caught my attention was this line: “Gordon also told both parents to avoid alcohol or “other non-prescription controlled substances” 12 hours before taking custody of the children.”

No shit? You mean it’s OK to do drugs and be loaded when the kiddies aren’t around? Sounds like both of them need the parenting 101 class…

Another good excerpt: “He also barred the exes from making “derogatory remarks about the other party and the other party’s family or significant other” during the case. And he ordered the parents to go through “joint co-parenting counseling” and barred them from using corporal punishment on the boys.”

You know you’re a bitter hate filled halfwit if the judge has to tell you to shut the hell up about his new skank-ass girlfriend.

I found this online and found pretty amusing. Some people…

CNN Story

There are bad ideas; then there’s making a TV show based on characters in a bad commercial. The cavemen are not even remotely entertaining; hopefully this is one idea that doesn’t make it as a show.
