  • Your Internet for ransom.

    OK, so we thought that the government was taking our rights away, but how about your Internet Service Provider (ISP). For those of you who do not know what an ISP is, it is your gateway to the wild. It is Verizon DSL, Comcast, Adelphia, AOL, NetZero, and so on. They are the companies which…

  • Google Web Accelerator … NOT

    I am sure most of you have already heard of Google’s Web Accelerator (GWA). If you have not, GWA is one of Google’s creations bordering on being a spawn, depending on how you feel about having your Internet controlled! If you do not care, than you will like this little application, but if you like…

  • Oppsss… Linksys RTP300 VoIP router.

    I just found a bug in the login script of the RTP300 Linksys VoIP router. The firmware is 1.00.55 version. This was just by accident. My password contains letters and numbers. I was typing too fast and at the end of my password I typed the wrong number. By the time my actions clicked in…

  • Flock – I don’t think so!

    I just tried the new Flock browser. Other than some improvements, some cosmetic changes and some extra features it is just FireFox. The extra features the Flock browser has can be easily achieved through extensions for FireFox. If no one decides to write the extensions for it, I am pretty sure that after Flock’s debut…

  • New box on the block.

    Last night I finished putting together a brand new computer for Amanda. I promised her earlier in the summer that I will build her a new computer when she starts school. Well she did start school last month, but I did not get around to researching parts and ordering them until couple of weeks ago.…

  • Update – I really rather not!?

    Yeah, I really rather not update my Windows system. Yesterday I decided to update my Windows XP Pro with SP2, which did not really go over too well. First I skipped the installation of SP2 and installed the patches released on the 12th. After I installed them my computer began to restart about 5 to…

  • Gallery on TFnet – coming soon.

    Tfnet’s gallery is around the corner! For a long time now I have been saying that “soon” I will have a gallery on the site with all kinds of pictures. Well, I finally got around installing a gallery on the web site last night. I have used Gallery in the past and I am still…

  • WordPress upgraded from 1.2 to 1.5 beta.

    This morning I decided on upgrading my blog’s application WordPress from 1.2 to 1.5. I have hesitated to do that for long time. Originally I had decided to wait for the final release of WordPress 1.5 before I upgrade mine, but I started with the beta when I decided to host a Brad’s blog. Since…

  • Email signature generators!

    Since GMail came out, I have started seeing many people add signatures and banners to their forums profiles and websites. The banners display the email address of that person. Why would someone do that? Well in the beginning the GMail was cool, not that it is not anymore, everyone wanted to show that they have…

  • TFnet hosts a new blog.

    I just finished setting up the first blog I am hosting on my site for someone other than myself. Brad has expressed interest in the blogging concept after I explained to him what it is. Although he is not the first person I have offered to host a blog for, he is the first one…
