Why so Silent Silent Joe?

Ok Ok, I have been somewhat missing in action the past few months but for good reason. I have been learning online marketing. The day to day of programming is fun but I spend way to much time behind the computer. So what have I learn so far? I have learned that the sites I use, [...]

Al Gore for President?

silentjoe — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 01:07:06 +0000

This election year sucks. The candidates running for President all suck. What happened to Al Gore? For all intents and purposes, he won the last election. Where is he? His views on the environment, television media, and decline in our society (among other things) makes him the best Man for the job. Yes, it would [...]

Wimpy MP3 Player

silentjoe — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:58:08 +0000

This player is HORRIBLE for any kind of advanced usage. No documentation on the configuration file layout. The documentation they do have is very vague and always refers to there customizer tool. They do have a doc that tells you how set up icecast. Um guys. icecast is NOT YOUR [...]

Illinois School Shootings

silentjoe — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:19:25 +0000

By now you have heard about another school shooting here in the USA. No doubt, people are going to start blaming video games, which is totally untrue. What is most important to remember here is that more people die in IRAQ each day with suicide bombing and insurgent actions. These events are not covered as [...]

The NEW Way of Marketing

silentjoe — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 19:14:42 +0000

If you know me personally, you know that I am a sucker for the next BBD (bigger better deal) and over the past year I have awakened to my “lemming” ways. Like so many, I would get into a nice program and be fairly interested in the program and just put out one page and [...]

Not the year for eBay

silentjoe — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:38:54 +0000

Just received an email from eBay announcing there new “lower” fee structure. Its pure crap. They RAISED the final value fee by 3.5%!! 5.25% was already rediculous and now they want 8.75%? WTF? Yeah they lowered there insertion fees by 5 cents. Wooopy doo dah. They are still taking the money out of your pocket [...]

Is eBay worth it anymore?

silentjoe — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 14:36:56 +0000

Over the last week, I figured I would try to clean some clutter out and put some stuff up for auction on eBay. What I have found is that they are charging WAY too much now. Lets look at one of my auctions: 2 items with a “buy it now” auction and “best offer” listed [...]

Our next president can be a terrorist!

That will teach the middle east! Ok this is in the “I have gone too far category” but really sit back and think about it. Barack Hussein Obama I mean seriously. 3 strikes in one freaken name right there. Barack sounds like Iraq Hussein - Saddam anyone? Obama - waaaay too close to Osama in my books. I mean come [...]
