Setup for easy server migrations and reliability

There has already been a long debate about hosting your own DNS servers and mail servers but I’ve found once again relying on Godaddy total DNS management and using GoDaddy e-mail forwarding has made my three migrations over the last year a breeze. So I suggest to everyone:

Suggestion One:

Don’t mix your host and your registrar. You might not see your domain again.

For anyone looking to create their own site I urge you, never register your domain with your host. There…

Ventura County Golf Championship

One of my goals for this year was to play in the Ventura Golf Championship and just get some practice for another life goal; to win the Ventura Golf Championship. Now when I talk about the tournament I’m referring to the flights, flights are constructed for people with handicaps, I’m currently an 8 handicap so I played with people that play at the same level as myself. I tried my best this year to play in the A flight but…

Linux Action Show hates freedom me

Yesterday I e-mailed TLAS about the conversation happening over on one of my posts. Without entirely reading the entire post they noticed a “mac fan” was criticizing them for their stance on Apple and how it clearly biased their Apple news reporting. Chris responded with,

Mac fanboys are all trolls, and well, I try not to feed the trolls.

He is obviously feeling insecure about his “Mac faith” so he needs to
attack us to rally the troops so that they can reassure…

YouTube hits Apple

YouTube hits Apple TV today, headed for the iPhone as well - Engadget
The wait is over, and you can finally train that Apple Remote of yours on videos of passable karaoke, mind numbing video blog confessions and the genius that is Daxflame. That’s right, YouTube is hitting the Apple TV today, an announcement that is totally overshadowed by a little surprise Apple packed into the press release: YouTube is the iPhone mystery app. Sure, it might not be GPS or…

Macbook Pro Battery Swelling

For the past couple months I’ve been having some real problems with my Macbook Pro just shutting down when it goes to reserve power rather then gracefully shutting down and going into an automatic suspend where it restarts loading the cached memory like it never shut down at all. A huge feature I’ve been missing and had been too lazy to figure out. Then in the last few weeks it’s been just shutting down anywhere from 45 minutes to a…

Occlusal Guard

I hadn’t told anyone yet but I had to get an occlusal guard. I’ve apparently been grinding my teeth at night so much that my K9s are smooth. Last year my dentist mentioned it and I thought it wasn’t possible since Sara never told me. Turns out Sara had told me and my dentist last month told me I needed to get one because I could destoy my teeth through chipping.

And now Martha and I have something else in common. And…

Colin Powell

Colin Powell spoke this morning about Business Responsibility when it comes to philanthropy, something both Sf and Google do very well. His talk was very personable, he had some great stories and insight from his life as the former Secretary
of State. I really loved an imitation he did of Bush because he not only signified the absurdity of what bush said but he got the accent perfect. I’m not really go into detail of what he said but it’s awesome…

GarageSale

Thank you GarageSale, you’ve just made my weekend a little easier. And since you were so nice to me I had to buy you. Hopefully you’ll pay for yourself soon enough.

Seriously though, the tool is great. 74 templates, built in FTP and image editing. I’m looking forward to tracking all my auctions through it. And controlling the payments, emails and feedback through it too. It’s going to be nice fore Sara when she starts listing a bunch of stuff and…
