Late this evening I first noticed Google Bot was attempting to FTP to one of my servers. It is trying to connect anonymously via FTP. Not just from one host or IP, either. To my dismay, these (what I’m calling) hack attempts have been going for a few days and from a total of 23 [...]
Well that was a waste. $7 down the drain. I wanted to experiment and I guess this was a cheap way to do the experiment. I paid to “Promote” a status update on Facebook. This is only available to personal Facebook accounts, not Facebook pages. It’s a new contraversial way that Facebook is allowing users [...]

So we regularly do our taxes with H&R Block’s Online “At Home” program. Depending on our situation we’ve used everything from H&R Block At Home Basic, to Deluxe, to Premium. Their system is comprehensive, convenient and a seamless operation – when it works right. This year (for 2011 taxes) started with us forgetting our password. [...]

Like the millions of other people who apparently used these bad pills, I sure did. So did my husband. We would like children some day, [...]
In today’s volume-driven business climate, it’s rare to be surprised by a random act of kindness or even just a company accepting responsibility for its glaring fault. This past week we were pleasantly shocked by an airline which is even more uncommon. We’ve all watched the 9/11 security fees, body scanner charges, lost change tally, luggage [...]
