DO-Overs SUCK

September 27, 2006

So, I had to redo the template. It isn’t as good as what I used to have, but it will have to do for now. I hate Internet explorer.

Ok. Done.

I am going to dayshift soon, but it isn’t all that great. I really don’t look forward to all the busy bees at the jail. Maybe I will like it better than the last group did. I will at least give it a try.

BTW. Let me know if the template is working for everybody now.

UNCLE, UNCLE

I’m an uncle again. My sister Cathy just had her baby. I got a call tonight that she had him, and my dad said that he was 8lbs 14oz. No comment on length. Cathy and Mordachai are proud 1st parents, and named their son after Daddy, Mordechai. I think I’ll call him 2.0, since I can’t call him Junior. He’s a cutie. CLick on the pic to see all of the pictures.

Any comments related to the newer layout. I frequently change my layout, so any feedback is useful and interesting to me.

Preferrably more detailed than that though.
Thanks.

I am official

I know that most people really won’t care, but I am fully changed over to my new hosting service for the website. I am really happy to be able to have a dedicated hosting service now, and no longer rely on Adelphia for my hosting. Hooray for me.

New Hosting – lower bills

September 3, 2006

Recently, I realized that I am paying out more each month than I bring in. In learning this, I decided to minimize some of my monthly bills. The first thing to look at was the entertainment portion of the bills, and we had a few.

Firstly, I tried to lower our DishNetwork bill by lowering our plan, but DishNetwork has cleverly implimented a rule that prohibits lowering plans, while allowing raising plans. That means that if I originally had my plan at around $80/mo, then I could NEVER reduce that plan, unless I wanted to completelyget rid of it for a month, and then re-apply for a new account. How dumb is that?

Secondly, I got rid of our second cell-phone. This reduces our cell bill by about 20 bucks, so good on me. 20 down, 500 to go.

Lastly, and most disturbing is the internet bill. Recently, I got an interesting e-mail from Adelphia, saying that since they have been bought-out by Comcast, they can no longer offer free domain and site hosting along with their “premier service“, which is what I have. This service also includes faster speeds. So, for $60/mo I get free hosting, and faster speeds, but no longer. I decided to downgrade to the normal speed, and take my hosting to a different company. Adelphia/Comcast wanted to charge me $20 extra per month to continue hosting with them. No thank you. I called GoDaddy, and got a monthly plan for $10/mo that includes 2gigs/mo transfer, and 100gb of storage. Adelphia only had 500mb transfer, and 150mg of storage. Yea for me!

I don’t know when the new hosting will take over, but it should be sometime in the next 5 days. We will see.
