  • Concerns for a Thursday

    ... you know what concerns me most about Windows 2012 Essentials? The perceptions that are building up. 1. It's a replacement for Home server users.

  • WordPress is a spam gatherer and Netvibes is helping

    I have a standalone godaddy hosted wordpress blog for the smbtnfresno group and my goodness is it a spam catcher. Lately I've noted that netvibes.com is also a spam maker as well as it's now a place where drugs are advertised on the back end of this site. Nice, huh!
