It’s funny how things unravel. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes just coincidentally. Yesterday Marissa Mayer is announced to be the next CEO of Yahoo! starting today. This causes more buzz for Yahoo! in 15 minutes than Yahoo has created for themselves in 5 years. Early today I went to my iGoogle home page to find a […]
File / Directory Sizes in Linux
Just a few notes for anyone who has the luck of playing server admin. This is not a full list, just things I happened to be playing with when I wrote this. Comment below if you think something should be added. Mounted Partition Sizes df -H Directory Sizes du -H . For a specific directory […]
Google Chrome Tracking Your Every Move
As an SEO it is useful for me to have browser with multiple personas so I can see how things change based on what has happened previously. I use Firefox as my primary browser, IE for different types of searches, and Google Chrome as my “never click on anything because it will alter your next […]
Cox DVR Problems… Are they really, “Your Friend In The Digital Age?”
Note: They did provide a solution to this issue, it turns out that the older “Scientific America Explorer”, and “Cisco HD” boxes use the same software which is known to Cox to be a problem. The only real solution so far has been to upgrade to the new “Whole Home DVR” receiver which uses a […]
CPanel: Sorry, you must have a dedicated ip to use this feature for the user:
I didn’t see this anywhere so I figure I’d post it. One thing that is never mentioned is that: The account CAN NOT be a Reseller. Check in: Main >> Resellers >> Reseller Center If the account is a Reseller, if it is Remove it.
CPanel dedicated site to shared
In managing servers you always come across something that is not the way you want it. The admin before me used 1 IP address per domain, which would be fine, if there was a need for that. The reason behind that was to reduce competitor spying, but having 30 sites on their own IP address […]
WishList Member do_shortcode
I love the functionality of WishList Membership, but there are some limitations, a big one being that it wasn’t written for people to modify and adapt t existing templates easily. In a recent installation we wanted to allow people to view video 1 of a 7 video series, and when they click on any of […]
Technorati – Claiming Your Blog Issue
I was doing a little SEO investigating using the SEOMoz tools to see where some of my competitors are getting their juice links from and noticed that Technorati, the blog aggregate site, has a SEOMoz Domain Authority score of 100, the highest possible. Instead of adding a new blog entry I figure I would just […]
Sex – It Shows Up Everywhere
It’s amazing how the word sex attracts so much attention. Is it the word itself or that it has an x in it? Other words like Sox, Axe, and the company Dex all seem to catch your attention in ways other words do not. After reading a few books on subliminal suggestive ads a few […]
Another New Start
The start is always the hardest part. We have all been there. We put things off until, the next thing we know, a few weeks, months or even years have gone by without actually starting what we set out to do. This post is exactly that for me. Every morning I have been waking up […]
