On this morning of social networks outages where Facebook is iffy and Twitter is down it’s nice to enjoy a cup of coffee in “peace” 😉 By the way, I wonder if they both run on the same hardware or are in the process of merging? Update: As a was going through my RSS feeds I came across info on …
New ISP: Verizon or Comcast?
As I hope to finally move to a new town at some point next week one of the things I need to do is select a new ISP (+ phone, + TV provider). Since I moved to the U.S. I always used Optimum Online (Cablevision) and was overall satisfied with their services, however, my options now are Verizon’s FiOS or …
It’s Nikola Tesla’s birthday!
I mentioned Nikola Tesla on the anniversary of his death back in January and it is only right to do the same on his birthday. This is also prompted by Google changing their default search image to Tesla Coil. Thank you Google for remembering one of the greatest human beings to ever walk the earth.

New theme
In the process of updating my theme…don’t mind the appearance and brief outages today. 🙂
WebDAV connections on Vista
As I’m setting up the previously mentioned laptop I keep coming across minor tweaks needed to make everything work as expected. This is somewhat of an updated post back from 2007 (posted on a previous blog) when I first encountered WebDAV issues on Vista. I wanted to map a new network location to our NetDrive, but as it didn’t work …
