Wordpress vs Joomla 2008-11-05 02:53:16 After building various websites with Joomla
i thought it was time to give Wordpress
a try. After installing Wordpress i must admit that i am quite amazed. Wordpress seems far more user friendly and takes much less time to setup and configure. Somehow i get the idea that wordpress is more secure to, though [...]
The future of the internet 2008-11-04 08:15:14 What does the future of the internet hold for us? If we go back in time we can see how far technology has advanced in the last 25 years.

Google Cloud 2008-11-03 10:03:56 Google is working hard on cloud computing. The idea of cloud computing certainly isn’t new. Oracle’s Larry Ellison launched the New Internet Computer (NIC) company in 2000 to lead the industry forward to that goal. The concept is very simple: On your desk, you would have a very low-cost computer with just a processor, a [...] Read more:Cloud

A World Without Money 2008-11-24 13:15:31 Kind of hard to imagine isn’t it! In one of my earlier posts A Resource Based Economy i mentioned how different things could be if we were to enforce A Resource Based Economy. Maybe we wont live to see it happen but it would be a great thing to happen for future generations.

Iceroad Truckers vs Deadliest Catch 2008-11-19 08:24:53 These are two of my favorite shows, both jobs are great money makers but how far would you go to risk your life for money? These guys take plenty of risks trying to earn some money and i doubt i would be able to do the same line of work.
I suppose as a king crab fisher you would get used to the rough weather and high seas but the Icy Cold environment of the Bering Sea is something i wouldn’t Read more:Catch

The Reverse Funnel Hype 2008-11-12 05:39:47 I stumbled upon “The ReverseFunnel
System” a few days ago and was wondering how many people really participate in this? I mean, the website looks like it was made in 10 minutes by a 10 year old, i could make a better website myself in 10 minutes and am not even a webdesigner. I just can’t imagine people buying products from a website like that but apparently i am wrong.
So why
The first home video game console 2008-11-11 05:58:36 The Magnavox Odyssey was the first home video
game console and predates Atari Pong home consoles by several years. The designer was Ralph Baer and he had the first working prototype ready in 1968.
The Odyssey was released in 1972 but due to poor marketing sales didn’t go as expected. Most people thought the Odessey would only run on Magnavox televisions wich hurt sales even more. Atari la

Unix User permissions and Blog security 2008-11-11 04:01:56 You can keep your website fairly secure by keeping your file permissions up to date. I will explain here how and why you should consider this.
Let me first explain a bit about file permissions under Unix. Most of you are aware that you can change permissions with the chmod command via FTP. Every file or folder in Unix has access permissions.
The following digits represent a value for permissions:

Linux Distributions 2008-11-10 07:39:36 I have been playing around with Linux
since 1998, the last 5 years i have worked more with OpenBSD and FreeBSD but still run Linux Ubuntu on one of my old desktop PC’s. The first desktop i ever had running was Linux Redhat5.2 wich wasn’t that great to be honest. You could tell it had potential but at that stage i found WindowsNT4 better (as a desktop system that is).
Over the years i h
Future Weapons EMP 2008-11-10 05:27:16 Discovery Channel has a program running called FutureWeapons
, you get to see some very high tech equipment. Yesterday i saw an episode on Hypersonic sound and EMP. EMP seems to be one of the most devastating weapons due to the fact that it could take out an entire continent. EMP stands for Electro Magnetic Pulse and was first discovered as a byproduct of a prime nuclear test in 1962.

The Village Idiot 2008-12-09 17:52:34 On a lighter note compared to my previous post i wanted to blog about something fairly common to most of us. I suppose every city,town or village have their own “Village
Idiot”, but did you ever sit back and think that they might not be the idiots you take them for.
The following video is a sketch from Monty Python. Compared to all the futuristic talk this takes us all back a few years
Parallel Universes 2008-12-08 22:11:47 Well the following video goes way beyond my comprehension but none the less still very interesting. If the string theory were to be true it would mean there could be different versions of you in different dimensions.

Think of a guitar string that has been tuned by stretching the string under tension across the guitar. Depending Read more:Parallel
Humans vs Robots 2008-12-05 22:13:55 Something i allways used to think of as a child and still do, is the fact that we as humans seem to try and create ourselves in the form of robots. Robotics is really cool and a prime example of what is possible would be the creations from Hansson Robotics of which i shall post a video below.
A writer named Erich von Däniken wrote a book “Were the Gods Astronauts” which i read when i

2012 What will Happen? 2008-12-03 08:25:29 I am by no means a religious fanatic or a great believer of predictions made by mediums and or others. But some things do catch my interest and one of those things is the year 2012.
There have been many predictions regarding the year 2012 and the best known predictions come from the Maya’s. The Maya calender ends 21-12-2012 and one thing the Maya’s were masters in was calculating time.
