PSA: Paper Domain Renewal Requests

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

A Public Service Announcement (of sorts): Occasionally I get domain renewal requests in the mailbox- the real one out by the street, not my e-mail.

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I think Google’s street view is the cat’s meow- and It’s great that Indy has been in the most recent batch of cities added.

My Dream Content Management System, or The Way A CMS Should Be

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Only once in a great while does a piece of software come along that does it’s job very well. Today I am going to write about a content management system that I use daily. This is my “Is it good?” software test: Does it do the job, as opposed to just not working? Does it [...]
