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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
