Error sending email to sbcglobal

Posted on November 29, 2007 at 4:04pm by Jerad Hill 1 Comment

I received a call today from Curry Computers here in Modesto. A mutual client of ours, AgPollen was having issues sending email to SBCGlobal email addresses but they could receive email from them. Every email would get returned by the Mail Daemon with a 505 failed delivery attempt. In this instance they are sending email…

Christmas Light Displays in Modesto

Posted on November 28, 2007 at 7:03pm by Jerad Hill No Comment

My neighbor has probably the nicest set up not only in Modesto but most of the nation. You drive up and set your radio to 89.7FM and the music comes through your radio while his house flashes to the beat. It’s pretty amazing. I stopped and chatted with him the other day about his display…

Search Engine Placement

It’s really quite simple once you understand the concept of how they work. It would take me pages to unload it but I pretty much have it figured out and I make it work for my clients. For example, my Chiropractor does not have a website nor a web presence for that matter, but type…

Square Cropping an Image

Posted on November 28, 2007 at 4:47pm by Jerad Hill 1 Comment

You don’t see many people square cropping images any more. This was a common practice in the 70′s. If you wanted to get a square cropped image printed now-a-days you would probably have a hard time getting it done but I think it is a cool style. It does not work for all images but…

My kind of art!

Stumbled upon the art of Billy Chasen a few moments ago. In the artwork shown above he has included a working hard drive and 2 case fans enter-twined into a series of neurons. It is an oil on canvas painting with the devices embedded into the art. I really find this interesting. He has also…

Ok, well the blog under this one was just funny. I found that while trying to find more info on what I am about to write. Today, I subbed for a member of a different BNI chapter. The speaker was Sara Geer who is an accountant with Clendenin Bird & Company here in Modesto. She…

Toyota OWNS Fresno, Senator Dianne Feinstein PWNS Toyota

Recently, Toyota launched a commercial about the Prius that took a shot at Fresno, California. The ad only aired on the East coast but with the blogging world the way it is, word spread. Residents of Fresno seem to think their town is not a low budget, tourist stop, ghost town as described in the…

Gas prices

Posted on November 28, 2007 at 2:58pm by Jerad Hill 1 Comment

Gas prices are getting a little out of control. Not that this is new news. Gas prices are said to creep over the $4.00 mark for regular unleaded fuel in early 2008. By the year 2020 gas is projected to cost us over $10.00 a gallon. At what price will people put aside the comfort…

If Democrats had any brains…

I just started reading this book 2 days ago and am already half way done with it. I have not followed Ann Coulter much. I have heard of her before and know she has strong opinions but the title is what got me. I have several friends who have opinions about politics but have no…
