Mr Papa’s World is constantly under attack from spammers. Luckily, I have some pretty good tools in place to stop these idiots. I thought I would pass along some statistics from spam attacks and how effective my tools (I didn’t write them) have been at stopping them. I run Akismet which attempts to stop comment […]

Today, my new internet service was installed and I couldn’t be happier. I said that a year ago when the old internet service was turned on, but things get better with time. After todays install, I am able to get a solid 1 – 1.5M download and 700k upload. The best part is that no […]

Recently, several of my friends in other states had commented that they wondered where the Winter was. They live in states that this time of year are pretty cold and snowbound.

During my recent holiday vacation, I took the opportunity to visit the Tucson Heart Hospital and get a Heart Saver CT Scan.

You might remember a recent post about some happenings in my genealogy research. Some family members I didnt know contacted me. Well, today, the new found relatives will be hooking up via teleconference with my Mother and Grandmother to meet each other and compare family history notes. This is one of the many reasons for […]

I recently made the decision to move my websites (four in production with fifth in planning) to a new host and new server. This decision didnt come easily. I wasnt really all that happy with the current host. They (hostingplex.com) had gone through many rough areas. I had been with them for about 15 months. […]

I finally broke down and bought Suzanne a new digital camera. I have been frustrated with hers ever Âsince she damaged a couple of parts on it a while back. After some research and trading off features versus cost, I decide on the Canon Powershot A630. Its an 8 mexapixel camera with decent ISO and […]

Technology Woes Continue
September 29, 2006 by 3 Comments
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for some of my tech items. First, the treadmill died (twice actually). Now, my gaming headset (mic and headhones) for my PC has crapped out. I was in the middle of an America’s Army game, discussing strategy with my 158th clanmates, when the microphone stopped working. I tried […]
