Techifornication....

I don't think that your faith should be muddied by facebook.....

2013-09-08T11:27:00.002-05:00

On day 3 of the A/c being out I woke up in yet another wonderful mood. I wouldn't mind if I was just outside because there would be a breeze, but being in here is like being stuck in a sardine can of humidity and no wind. It reminds me of the swamps back at home in Florida, sticky and gross.

Moving on because I'm sure you all are not interested in my bad attitude towards my apartment right now. But it's Sunday, as most of my friends and family consider it a day to worship their God of choice. Seeing as I believe in none of it I will not participate but at the same time I have no interest in judging. My science isn't completely proven correct as their books are not complete proven as false. My rule of thumb is do as you wish but please, leave me out of it I hold no interest and I'm sorry it upsets you but it's how I feel and being a good person you should respect that.

If you look around however you will notice that there is honestly a holy war of religions taking place in this world. I find this sad, I don't see why some think its not o.k. to believe in what you want. You won't see me going around screaming at the religious, "You need to read a science book!" it's unnecessary, rude and disrespectful. I have however been known when provoked to provide a decent debate.

But more to the point I have an issue with faiths being blasted on Facebook, you know the one's "This person will die if you don't like to pray for them!". I have studied up on many religions but my largest fascination is Christianity. The most boisterous in America. I know the book quiet well, and its messages. At one point in the bible, it says if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains. I think that's universal, if you have enough faith in yourself you can change the world for the better. I just don't think that 1 like = a prayer. If you take your religion seriously you don't post something like this, you sit down with your prayer list and pray. In other religions the focus of your spiritual energy goes into your prayers and it pushed to the person you are focusing on. Asking your God for money and fame is not what he wants in my opinion, its just like asking for toys on Christmas from Santa, it shows greed.
We are all given time of great pain, struggle and hardships it's part of the human experience. We learn from these times grown from them, pray for help as we work through them. Your faith shouldn't be based on a post, and when that post is shaming someone for not sharing it, you're doing the opposite of what you were taught.
Yes you were told to spread the good word, but not force it on others. You are not the one to judge another your God is, you have no right to pick on those who don't share the same religions as you.
In my opinion, these shares are a disrespect to yourself, your religion and your God. It makes you look bad, and in certain cases offends others. Spread the word by all means you can teach others to do right and be good, but understand this if someone says they aren't interested don't hound them... pray for them. This is what your faith is about, being good to others not sharing a picture of a kid dying that requires a like.
Truly understand that we are all human and when this life end you may go where ever your religious book entails for all we know every religion is correct. There maybe several heavens for several people, I don't see how that can't be true when there are many universes and paradox universes.
Don't quabble over the details of your books, pray for each other for that is what your Gods truly want. Peace amongst the different people who wear different cloths.
Facebook is not the place to ask for prayer, your house of the holy is. So please stop with the shares and the like requirements, I know you have a prayer list somewhere you use. Ask your church members and join your prayer list, because faith in numbers to the people up stairs that's what matters. Don't degrade your religion by posting something moronic on facebook and expect other to receive the good word, teach other by talking to them praying with them and being there for them in during their trials and tribulations.

That's all I got, that and I hatteeeee Facebook on Sundays. It's football season someone load up the scores!!!!!

This is the shit I'm talking about.... Let me quote one of these posts(below).

"Free Daily Devotional: http://pbwu.org/dw

This to me is disrespectful, you don't hashtag your religious leaders and Deity!

I only ever asked to live fully....and you have given me that

2013-09-07T11:16:00.000-05:00

I woke up today in an apartment with a broken a/c unit. I can say the same about this yesterday, however thankfully (first time you hear me say this) I had to go to work. At least there the weather machine is controlled by a polar bear, usually I wear a jacket and work with it. It's a thousand degrees in here and I know some one turned fall on a couple of weeks ago, I'm just waiting for that wonderfulness to seep through a window around here.

Today I'm going to talk about human expectation, well in this case what is expected of this 26 year old by others surrounding her.
Living in North Carolina was never my plan, like ever in fact if you asked me ten years ago what I was gonna do what I left the house, my answer was always travel the world with work. I wanted to follow my moms footsteps, but I'm not good at chemistry EPA regulation or international Law. My skills are computers, cars, hvac and construction (and physics but I have never used it unless to play sports where on my head I can calculate how to win).
I've tried relentlessly since finishing my schooling to get jobs where I could be a international goddess of computers. Sadly not one option has appeared. They say you can't fail if you try but lately I feel like I've failed so many times that I feel there's no point in continuing.
I was expected to move here with my (at the time husband) and work in a place I've never been. I made it work, but when the expectation became too great and things weren't working I walked away.
I then was expected to be ok with how that worked out, and with a roommate that followed this disaster I was expected to do what ever he wanted, again I walked away.
And so the cycle continued, as time went by I started to realize men expect me to do what they want, not what I want. I am just supposed to do what is asked silently, and no one ever asks "Hey what do you want?"

I recently figured that out... I don't know.

I've been pushed around and expected to do everything for so long that I stopped thinking about me. When I brought this to my mother her response was find a man with money and do what he wanted so I could do what I want.
I don't like that answer, its purposely to me. I am a person not a piece of property or something to own. But as I go on I realize that woman in america are just expected to do what men around tell them, to have no option to move forward. Why? Because every religious book says so and that currently is how society works.

Expectations are a waste of my time, I don't want to do what a man tells me to do. Honestly I hate almost all men, it started when my mom got married to my very very Christian step dad. From the beginning of my time as a person I've been told I will do what "he" (whoever that may be) says. No, screw that I want to do what I want to do.
I want to expect you men to bow to me, to listen to me and to hear me. I'm good at my job I'm great at engineering weird things on the weekends to play with. I like programming and I don't want to do it for someone who's going to pay me pennies for what work I see as worth millions. I want to expect everything from others..... not the other way around.

With this economy (and I'm talking world economy) how are the youngest, the smartest and the women to go forward and break the boundaries of creation in this world? If I can't get a job doing what I had planned, how will those who follow me do so? I feel like we need a golden age, and we have it on you tube with t.v. shows and movies the artist of our world can create, you can even learn almost anything on it.
But what about the rest of us? The technical, the engineers with no backing and the citizens who just don't know what direction to go.
I watch the news way more than I should (at least that's my assumption)and watching America being at war this long, knowing that people are slowly being removed from this planet and not by any choice of their own. I came up with the idea of all wars being turned into video game wars, tournaments essentially where the governments of the currently disputing countries write up an agreement they both must follow so winning team gets X where the loosing team gets Y. I'm not staking this on one game, I'm saying a convention multiple games where all of our citizen can have the pride to fight for their country and have more information on what it is we are doing to these other people with out destroying their homes, and taking their lives. What are we gaining do it the way we do now?

Is it wrong after seeing and knowing all of this for me to expect more from the world?
Or is it my expectations that don't matter in this universe on this plane of existence?

I want to be able to say to the person who will save me from this cycle at the end of my life, "I only ever asked to live fully, and you have given me that."

This seriously is how I feel.....

Oh My, what budget do we have here?

2013-09-06T12:20:00.000-05:00

So today I thought I'd cover budgets. I chose to do so after talking to my mother this morning, she was looking for a cat toy for her beloved monster (he likes to bite me and I was the one who adopted him over 10 years ago).
She was in her local grocery store and had no luck so she said she would try by going to the almighty walmart. I know we all have budgets we need to stick to and this is where I'm going to start, if you really want control of your budget... AVOID WALMART LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!
I'm serious about this, this company is a disaster and has been raping the american wallet for some time now.

Most of you would say this post is about hating capitalism and big box store, said is not the case and I will tell you why. About 3 months ago was the last time I treaded in a walmart, I went in for food 6 bags of it to be exact my final price for the food was almost 200 dollars. I was irate to say the least, 6 bags how is this possible I had even checked prices as I went.

After that I decided to do some analytics on how to save myself from certain overdraft, or even worst spending a weekend on the internet doing nothing healthy (I digital detox on the weekend, for those who don't know what this means I ask you to click the link over here >> click me!). Anyhow I ran a month long spreadsheet of what I had saved by making some changes. I was saving about 200 dollars a month by avoiding Walmart, it was making a huge difference in how my roommates and I we're spending weekends. I live with 2 men, so food doesn't last long in our house.

So to show you what I have done I'm going to give you a list of my changes.

First and most importantly, if you can find it at the dollar store buy it. I have a obsession with cleaning (as I said live with 2 guys so for me this is a big deal) All the cleaning supplies are 1 dollar and just of so much use, even the room sprays I like the carpet sprays its a no vacuum deal you spray walk away let dry and your house just smells so great. On top of that, I bake a ton, a lot of the baking supplies you find (example vanilla extract) are sold in small bottles the ones I've found in the dollar store are hugeeee and you just can't beat it.

Second stop, Big Lots the range on this is cheap to like top side 10$ for things you need. Food, house décore (they also have some awesome furniture for cheap)and oddly enough cheap toiletries. I would usually say like CVS or Wallgreens but biglots just beats them out. If you haven't heard of them see the link over >>> Here.

Third, your local grocery store. They usually have a rewards card, that will always trump walmarts "savings". The best part about this is if you shop it the right way, you can save so much. What you need to do for this that will make a difference is get the meat from the meat section. Avoid the frozen section when it comes to this. The difference is they will give you some good selection and it will be cheaper than the frozen section. Some of you would say no I can't do that all those meat are packaged and have to be use like right when I buy them!! No, this is where working hard will pay off pull the meat out of the packaging and put them in some freezer bags (dollar store ones are just as good as your name brands) and freeze them until needed.

My Last subject on this will be the rewards card and coupons. So rewards cards from big lots are great your points add up to like days where you get 20% or more off your shopping at random times, same with the local grocery store, I traverse food lion and my card not only gives me discounts but on the way in also gives a printed coupon list (there's a little machine in the front that prints them out) its just so wonderful.
Coupons, however are the one thing I think is a be very careful situation, it to me is like a 2 edged sword. They are great for what you need but if you use ones you don't you end up spending money on things you just truly don't need. So for coupons, I carefully choose what it is on the list that I need and use them nothing more( I made the mistake one time and it was costly).

On that note I shal provide you with one link for one of my favorite places to get coupons, the reason that it is my favorite is because for every coupon you use from them you get points for more free stuff which to me is just a plus!!!

Swagbucks <<< This place is just ever so nice! (and they have an app!) Happy Savings Guys!!!

We all had spaghetti nights.... they are cheap, easy and fun to play with!!!

Money.... none us of have any, but here's some fun ways to pay bills.....

2013-09-05T20:17:00.002-05:00

Amongst my random internet roaming I find an interesting thing here or there involving money.
I'm going to be honest I always look for a secondary form of income. Let's face it, this economy sucks
and with school loans a car loan and rent my salary has been less then acceptable(no one's paying now and
days).
But as I spend the better part of my day in the office, secretly searching for an exit that will let me work
from home or perhaps if I'm lucky move somewhere else(I have a place I want to go that not here in Durham). I have lucked out and found
a spot here or there that will get me through the bills with out my bank over drafting, so today that is what
I will be sharing.
Let's start with my second job(yes I have one) I found a part time gig I can work on from home on Elance. This
is a marketplace
where your skills in your field (or if you want to dive into a new field) can be used on free-lancing. In
other words do what you like
and get paid for it. Mind you its never too much money but for those of us just trying to make it happen it is of great use.
My original reason for looking on the site was to see if I could find some way to make money marketing things on social media.
I know a great deal of people who have made a career on this, and to be honest I have scripts run most of my social media from a server
back home. I just put a database together with random information links pictures and what not, it just auto populates and boom we're good.
Which brings me to my next site, random internet hunting found me this little gem Keeger.com, this is the
first site I've seen that you can not only
use to promote you blog, twitter and what not but you make money from it as well. You get points for making
friends, post, and blasting your
blog posts. The points in turn are given a dollar amount and you withdraw your money. I have been playing with
it for a couple of weeks now
I don't mind the small amount of work you put out personally the idea itself is amazing to me. I think one
step up from that would be a
social media spot where you get paid for ad's you throw in your feed. Like ad sense but with a facebook feed
to keep it interesting.
The site itself I imagine is going to need a little more work before it comes to a level of greatness, but I
like being the first to play with new toys
so you won't here a complaint out of me. That all being rambled about, below I will attach the invitation link
for Keeger and Elance.
Go ahead and check it out!!!

My less than graceful return..............

2013-09-05T15:12:00.002-05:00

In my never ending list of things to do I traversing the internet and forgot I own a blog.
I have no idea why I fail so much I suppose it's focus on work load or my never ending quest to gain more knowledge.
I spend the better part of my time testing out different things that teach me about everything.
Which brings me to my wonderful topic of the day, places on the internet to learn. (insert rainbow and unicorns here)
Not many people like to learn after they have been in school for years and years, but I am against that.
The reason is because as you learn more over time, you're keeping your brain in check. This also prevents most brain
numbing diseases like dementia and alzheimer's. Since both of those options run rampant in my family I spend most of my days
just gathering knowledge when I have free time at work.

I suppose I should tell you I specialize in Linux and programming, I didn't always and to be honest its been a while since
I've needed to code anything at work so as of right now I'm rusty. My daily combatant for this is code.org.
This is a website that can route you anywhere you want to be when it comes to coding, I wish they had it before I had entered college.
I spent soo much money on education, and the programming classes for just not up to par compared to what I've seen and worked with
on this site. I'm just amazed and getting less rusty on a daily basis. It's been a great experience and for those of you interested
in coding I suggest you go look and be educated. As you go as well there are other sites linked to code.org so you can expand your
knowledge as you go, all of which is free. I can't stress enough how awesome it is not to pay a ton of money you don't have to have
a poor learning experience.

My second option for getting your learns on is Udemy.com, this is a half free half pay situation. Most of the pay classes are worth it
on top of which over time if you see there's something you can teach people you can put a class up and earn money from educating others.
I've had a great experience with this site as well. As I said I stick to one set of learning when it comes to my daily bump in knowledge
however this sight can teach you anything about anything. From crafts to humanities and health and fitness. I prefer taking the free classes
but I'm not going to lie on this site I've paid for a class or two and I was nothing but happy about it. If you have time when your home and
you want to learn something random that will help you with life I suggest checking out Udemy.
So that's my little rant for the day, get ready because I will return to posting on a daily basis again(yes I know I have said it before,
but I've planned ahead this time so game on!)

Breastfeeding and Feminism

2013-01-14T11:26:00.001-06:00

I suppose I should be introducing myself now. I am Marilyn. Jessica invited me to her blog of awesomeness. I'm not the most exciting person in the world. I'm not the smartest. I might not be awesome enough for this blog of awesomeness. I have 3 kids, I work from home, and I home school.
I've been a human factory for the past 7 and a half years. This means that every moment since sometime around mid-2005, my body has been used to grow and feed tiny people. That's kind of awesome in and of itself, right? Sometimes I feel like a cow, but most of the time I feel like I deserve a cape.
Does this make me the anti-feminist? Some say it does. Some say I'm not living up to my potential Are women like me setting our generation back? Should I stick a bottle in their mouth, throw them in a daycare, and run wildly back into the workforce? Or better yet, should I have remained celibate to focus on my career? I think not.
It's empowering for me to be able to do what I do. Kind of an ego trip, actually. I could look at each of my babies up until around 6 months and say, "I made that." Sure, I had the help of a sperm cell from my husband, but other than that, it's all me. Every fat roll on them up until then came from my body. I've used my milk to heal diaper rash, pinkeye, eczema, burns, mosquito bites, and scrapes. I am Wonder Woman!

Ahhhh ADHD

2012-12-06T15:33:00.001-06:00

So recently I failed to mention most of my random changes are due to the fact that I've not been able to keep a one track mind.... So color changes post changes this you can count on mainly because I'm back on some sugar and have more free time on my hands with my new job hooray! Keep in mind this may spawn into some random nonsense on youtube.... and when it does you all will be the first to know!!

IFTT.... is the best

2012-12-06T12:34:00.001-06:00

IFTTT is a service that enables customers to connect channels (i.e. Facebook, Evernote, Weather, Dropbox, etc.) with personally created or publicly shared Recipes. Essentially, its the perfect way to shit storm social media.... in a good way. I've been using it for several months now and it has just been amazing.... although I have black holed my accounts into in an Infinite loop of news that never ends... sometimes that's good other times its the same stuff over and over again across the internet, which was an easy fix mainly just a change of recipes. So if you're interested in creating a cook book for the social media side of life, I suggest IFTT. As Always the link will be posted below: https://ifttt.com

I feel the need to post this

2012-10-23T07:05:00.000-05:00

In the recent political battles I feel the need to post this video it made me laugh so hard. Politics

newest of my slow coooker random grab and set up

2012-10-23T04:52:00.003-05:00

So recently I've been making food via my slow cooker. It's relatively easy to keep your life together when the foods already done when you get home. So this has been my most recent awesome meal by random grab and throw in. Spicy Bloody Mary Chicken 3 Chicken breasts 1 can of mushrooms 1 Bottle of Zing zang bloody Mary mix. 2 Shakes Franks red hot sauce (or tabasco) 1/2 Chopped onion 1 garlic clove chopped very well 2 Cups white rice (the 30 mins to cook box will work correctly with this) Now I threw this together before going to bed. So here's how it starts: Turn slow cooker on low, put in chicken, chicken broth, bloody mary mix, hot sauces, mushrooms onions and garlic in the slow cooker while keeping on low. Leave until back from work the next day (in this case I was in bed by 11pm and home from work by 4pm) Add rice let cook for 30 to 45 minutes while stirring every 5 minutes or so. Then eat away. The Best part about this is you could change it up skip the rice and pull the chicken out when its done shred the meat and you not have a yummy shredded chicken sandwich with a little kick. You can also make some changes to the spices use a very plain bloody Mary mix and change the whole thing up completely. Up to whatever you want to do really. But that's my random food stuffs lecture today.

Thoughts as of recently.

2012-10-22T18:02:00.001-05:00

So as of my random travels on the blargo sphere. I decided to make this blog more of an everything the I learned on the interwebs while at work pretending to actually work. Stay tuned for more random interest posts!!!!

Meh Slow news day I suppose

2012-10-01T15:03:00.000-05:00

So in the most recent events at work I'm yet again left here with nothing to do, I suppose in all of this I have searched the ends of the interblargs to see whats going on. Unfortunately there's literally nothing going on today, must be a Monday thing. So I figure I would cover some random computer based nonsense just for shits and giggles. I've recently run into an issue with bills vs. my income which would be ok if I was actually working somewhere as opposed to just sitting in a chair to validate a CEO somewhere..... and ranting again sorry. Upon my recent brokeness I decided to research on how to make other moneys while i'm bored to tears at work, sifting through most of the garbage I managed to look enough up to get some information. And I'm bout to rattle is off with some other sights and their information.

About covers a good amount here for those who have the time to do some of this in which case I will on one of these weekends. I suppose after the fact I will add more to this post.

Among that there are so many more that offer scam free ways of making money... in the 8 hours of attendance at work with nothing to do I had the time to once again sift through the large amounts of garbage and found a nice woman who had her own sight in which she sold for a couple million and goes through several way to work online from home or just do extra work while you are at work that can be found here but on a side note with most of these you have massive amounts of garbage links and ads on there as well so just do yourself the favor of not clicking anything outside the article or you may get dragged through that rabbit whole of garbage that i had to sift through and I doubt you will have the time and patience that I had to get through and come back to lets call it the "Nicer side" of the internet.

Forbes also has a blip of information, its small but it is a little informative. Which for them seems par for the course.

So after a day of searching around I'll be testing some of these things and seeing what else I can add to this.

Sounds of Space

2012-09-19T09:34:00.000-05:00

So, for my first post on Technifornication we are going to explore space! Exciting right? I thought so too. We've long been told that space is a vacuum and things like sound and explosions can't exist because there is no oxygen or media for these things to exist. I know, I know... Star Wars had explosions, and it's only one of the best movies evar, and the pew-pew lasers had that awesome blaster sound; the real science says that those explosions are impossible. Ok, so where does this lead us to? It leads to the Radiation Belt Storm Probes orbiting the earth. These probes picked up radio waves that happen to be in the human range of hearing. Well, sadly these are not communications from other life forms, but rather a byproduct of the solar radiation hitting the Earth's magnetosphere. Basically the Sun bombards the Earth with solar radiation. The Earth's magnetic field helps to deflect a lot of that radiation. The result of that shield bouncing solar radiation off of us makes for some strange radio waves. Researchers in Iowa and NASA call this the 'chorus.' The sounds produced by this phenomenon is actually a little creepy, perfect ambient music for a sci-fi genre film. This chorus effect is not a new experience though, it has been observed for decades. Definitely follow the link for a more in depth look at the phenomenon and the actual audio recordings from the probes. I am an avid NASA geek, but my knowledge and technical skills with the universe is weak compared to the people that get paid to be smart about this stuff.

'Mind hackers' could get secrets from your brainwaves

Could hackers get access to your bank details and PIN codes by reading your mind? It wouldn't be easy, but computer scientists reckon its theoretically possible using wireless EEG headsets like Emotiv's Epoc, which costs only $299. These are not yet mass-market devices, but people who use headsets to play games and control devices such as wheelchairs could conceivably have their brains hacked if they download rogue applications. Ivan Martinovic, from the University of Oxford, explored the idea in his talk at the Usenix Security Symposium held in Seattle earlier this month (video). The team behind the research -- which also included members from the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Geneva -- has published at paper: On the Feasibility of Side-Channel Attacks with Brain-Computer Interface (PDF). Emotiv EPOC headset in use One aim of the research was to explore whether or not EEG headsets represented a threat to privacy. While there are many such headsets available, they used the Emotiv device because of its low cost and because the company makes its API available to researchers, and it has a software development kit (SDK) for developers. Outside of medicine, where researchers have been studying electro-encephalograms for decades, EEG headsets are most often used for games and for control applications or both. For example, someone can use their brainwaves to shoot virtual fireballs in the Arena game, or to control a real toy helicopter. Usually, the control process involves mastering one command at a time, and facial expressions can be used, such as winks and smiles.

Beyond that, the brain responds naturally to external stimuli. One of the most useful is the P300 recognition response that peaks about 300 milliseconds after the user recognises something relevant. The team developed a recognition model by, for example, showing test subjects photographs of people they didn't know, and then showing them a face they did know: Barack Obama.

After that, you can try to detect unknown data. For example, if you had test subjects and photographs of their homes, you could find out who lived where by showing them the pictures and looking for the recognition response. The team did find homes correctly about 60 percent of the time.

By showing people images related to credit cards, PINs and so on, a hacker might also be able to discover private banking details. The researchers don't claim to have done this, but Martinovic told the symposium that "we could actually perform better than a pure random guess". They are now looking at "more sophisticated attacks".

The system could also be used for market research, or for interrogation purposes. For example, you could test a suspect with photographs of crime scenes, or rape victims.

Martinovic said: "we're interested in subconscious responses. Even if you try to lie, you will actually need more attention, and this will produce a better signal for us to detect."

Brainwaves are messy things to track, and a lot of pre-processing is required to extract a signal from the noise. Also, EEG headsets such as Emotiv's are not optimised to capture P300 signals. However, one day, brain hackers might be able to get useful signals without a subject's co-operation, perhaps by a combination of face- and brain-scanning. That really would be a threat to privacy.

Tan Le, Emotiv's co-founder, showed Epoc in a TED talk: A headset that reads your brainwaves

Cell phones, and the Costs applied

2012-08-24T09:59:00.000-05:00

There are somethings we all wonder.... this is one of my personal questions on a monthly basis. Is it worth having a contract phone versus a pay as you go phone?
I guess it would depend on what you would want out of your phone. Iphones (Which I currently have) are only available via a contract with a specific company (I use sprint). How ever the Android phones are now available vie no contract/pay as you go. One of my favorite places to drool over the option is strait talk. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find the site here. It has the sim card for transfer into jail-broken phones, so you can get more bang for your buck if you wanted to go that direction. $45.00 dollars a month is pretty amazing, seeing as I'm paying $80 a month to do essentially do the same thing but with more options for me to get over charged by sprint on my roaming, which it seems in Durham and Raleigh the towers are never working. Seems that companies are going the unethical route just to make money, or as we all know it the bottom line. This leads into so many more questions with all these companies charging so much, why are we buying into being ripped off by them? Is my Iphone really worth being stuck with a terrible company for two years? I have a discount for working for one of the larger companies in technology (they wont be name but it's only three letters.... take a lucky guess.) I'm sure this will lead into some ethical political debate at some point so I'll stop before I get carried away.
Below I will give you a series of links, before you think about switching to another contract you will be stuck with, these will give you more options. Some of the links are regional so just keep that in mind.
Atlanta/ Miami area options
Damn near Everywhere(depends on the phone)
This one varies...
You also want to check the larger companies for the pay as you go options they have.

So upon some recent realization of the insane work schedule I've been dealing with recently I will be adding some collaborative effort soon.

Android Market Place: Light Years of Change in less than One Year

2011-04-19T17:18:00.002-05:00

As we all know there has been a large battle of the large named table sellers, and at one point was drawing lines in the sand causing feuds among family and friends. In under a year Android has quickly taken that line and thrown it in the dust. The exponential growth in the past year in the market place is all thanks to the creativity around the world coupled with the release of frame works for the easy drag and drop option for people to make the applications that the people want, something even our countries haven't managed yet. Now instead of angry teens making viruses and hacking accounts to make money they have the availability to put that angst to use and make money on something that they would want and what they know what there friends want to play with as well. On average most of the applications made and put in the market place are free with the minor ads that you can easily ignore, where as these same applications in the Apple's Itunes store is almost always a pay for application. In short that instant gratification that we all crave has been easily accomplished, leaving us with that want for more and others willing to give it to us. The best part of these phones and tablets released by Android and partner companies is the quick and easy almost desktop like use and the “nothing here is banned” attitude that Apple is currently lacking. This has not only opened the option for the next generation to start working earlier but has also open up to a new generation of programming that is sure to evolve to amaze us in the coming years. Android has made its beginning mark in our history books but the question still remains as to how far will it take us.

And I'm backs again!!!

Tool bars

2011-02-01T22:36:00.001-06:00

~~Tool bars~~ ,its striked out for a reason.
They're a pain in the ass and they cause more problems then they solve.... and seeing as they solve no issues..... screw 'em!
The thing is they come with almost all freeware downloads and some other downloads so you have to make sure you're un-checking the boxes that say "add blah tool bar to your internet browser" and "Change blah to your home page" other wise you end up with crap that just clutters up you space/ causes easy entrance for virus infections.
Since I'm mentioning this now My Web Search and Webfetti are my two biggest No-no's, at my work we've classified them as technical Malware infections because even if you do choose to uninstall, it takes some serious work to physically pick it out of your system. (and yes that is a pain in any tech's ass)
So just remember...... * Say No to ~~Toolbars~~*.
That was my mini update for the night... yea its small but as I said there's more to come!!!(Testing multiple free ware programs out currently)

Digsby... your socail life connected

2011-02-01T19:59:00.001-06:00

In my recent conversations with an old friend I was told about Digsby.
I was iffy about it at first but I have to say it has mad life frigging awesome!!!
Digsby is the better half of my life now...
It connects all emails all the messengers you have and all the social connections you have (myspace FB and linked in). Everything you could possibly have in one organized spot!!!!
I've actually learned to be updated while working at the same time.... For those of us who can't keep up this is one of those better options to keep track of everything.
Down side though when you Download it you have to keep track of what you accepting onto the computer... otherwise you end up with a changed home page and an extra toolbar.... and ~~tool bars~~ are usually a bad thing.

But here's you download.... click here -----> Digsby

Also this can be found on FILEHIPPO (haven't yelled their name in a while)

Windows Live

2011-01-31T21:10:00.003-06:00

Time for my random update... it's been a while I know. Work being as busy and fruitless as it has been, I decided to go ahead and check some stuff out.
So to start out I decided to squander some time with Windows live essentials 2011. Although Windows live was actually announced in 2005 it has been a little rocky to use. After adding some extras to the pot Bill Gates has scored himself a gold star again.
If you don't have outlook Windows live mail is a great exchange, it's a lot nicer and much more streamlined then the older versions of outlook. When you download windows live essentials you also get the the writer, msn manager, bing bar, the outlook connector, and silver live.
It's a pretty sweet deal, the only thing is that most of the package isn't compatibly with XP so, its kinda of a downer if you still have an xp machine... and a lot of us still rock it out.
Well that's the mini update of the day I'm actually compiling more data and I will be adding more than one post soon.
And per the norm your download if the day can be found here ----> WLM

Oh and bang to the extra's I found Windows live mail for XP (right when I was just going to give up looking to!) ----> WLMXP

Another bloggerriffic day in paradise...

I thought I would go over Safe Mode, how to get there why us geeks use it to remove viruses and so on.
Ahh safe mode the hardest thing you can talk someone through over the phone.
Any how Safe mode is the diagnostic mode of the computer... just about anything you want fixed can be fixed under Safe Mode. Though it varies by operating system, typically safe mode loads as few executable modules as possible and usually disables devices, except for the minimum necessary to display information and accept input. So in regular speak this means the only things you need to run the computer are the only things running at all. You don't even get to see the background when safe mode is up.
Now to get there is a whole situation itself.
So here's the run down...
1) Turn on computer
2) Tap the F8 key repeatedly before the computer loads (F5 if ASUS)
3) A list will come up in black and white use the arrow keys to choose which mode to enter then press the Enter Key

A list of loading files will then appear on your computer and after that passes you computer will show your normal screen just with larger icons.
Now when you call for remote support, generally the will ask you to enter Safe Mode with Networking so that you can also use the internet, that way they can log in and fix your computer.

And that my friends is the skinny on Safe Mode!!!
Enjoy your day!

And we're back!!!

2011-01-10T14:43:00.000-06:00

Well now that the holidays are finally over and work being as back logged as it was I've found that due to the Wiki-leaks issue my work load has doubled in size. And this seems all the more reason to bring up internet security. There are a lot of viruses out there. And since these kids with too much knowledge but not enough sense started this whole "we like this dude who talks to much and puts our country in danger" tantrum, turning all the computers in the open into zombies I've been enforcing new anti-virus laws all by my lonesome.
So lets go over the basics,
If you don't know who sent you the email... don't open it Delete it!!!
If the email is a forwarded from a friend, don't read it delete it... its probably not all that funny anyway.
Don't click on adds
Stick to websites you know
Run anti-virus software once a week
Password protect everything and never save the password on the computer keep it on paper hidden.
Never tell anyone your password, ever!
Get a fire wall.
Keep your pop up blocker on!
Use one of my previously mentioned internet browsers with the security add-ons!
Back everything up once a month, use once again a previously mentioned software for that.
And if your at home using a wifi router make sure you have changed the name the password security option and once your connected, hide the broadcast.
All of these items can be seen in detail from previous posts.

Welcome to the New Year which means New issues.... but just remember I'm here for you!!!!!

Hallmark....

2010-12-27T15:32:00.001-06:00

Well now that Christmas is over I thought I'd lay down what we did for Christmas Cards this year. Hallmark.com offers a huge way to say yourself for the extra work of sending out Christmas cards every year. All you have to do is pick the card pick the picture and put your addresses in for delivery and everything is sent out for you. If you choose not to send the cards by using the offered option you can have them sent to your house and from there add your Christmas letter etc. and send them out yourself.
This is perfect for those times that you don't have time.
So that's my tip for the day I'll be adding more after work!!
Enjoy the last couple of days of the year... I know I will!!!
