Just Found the “Press This” Tool

Awesome little tool included in Wordpress these days.  You put it in your bookmarks bar and when you see something you want to blog about, you just highlight it and hit the button.  It opens a little window so you can write your post and save or publish it right there!  It’s damn cool.  And, hopefully now I’ll remember to actually post all the cool shit I find.

How to Make Custom iPhone Ringtones for Free | eHow.com

I found this a while ago, but thought I should share it with the world.  I personally think it’s unheard of for iTunes to charge you the same for 40 seconds of a song and the whole song.  It’s a total rip-off.  I’m not gonna spend a buck to buy a song and then spend another buck just to have them format it for me so I can use it on my iPhone.  So, anyways, here’s how you can do it yourself:

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

* iPhone

* iTunes

* Mac or Windows Computer

Which laptop should I buy?

I recently had one of my co-workers ask me about what laptop she should get.

Here’s my reply:

Ok, here’s the 3 most important things:

1.  If you get a laptop with Windows Vista, make sure you have at least 2GB of RAM.  Vista uses about 1GB by itself and it’ll suck when you try to run any other programs.

2.  Don’t get a cheap processor.  Intel Celeron and AMD Sempron are the common cheap ones and should be avoided.

3.  Don’t get a Compaq.  They suck.  They’re cheap, and I have never had a good experience with them.

Thank You Mr. President

“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.”

-Barack Obama

Today, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.  In his inaugural speech Barack reiterated this point which I think is the crux of his run for presidency.  “We have chosen hope over fear”.  Barack ran under the banner of hope and change.  He didn’t succumb to the fear mongering that so often accompanies an election, or the news, or a salesman, or a commercial, or religion.  He relied on the fact that we need hope, not fear.  That people don’t want to be scared into electing a president.  Or scared into starting a war.  Or scared into buying a new car.  Or even scared into being a good person.  People want hope.  We want to hope that there is something better for us and for our children.  That while things may be difficult, we believe that there are bright skies ahead.

How to move a site from one server to another using cPanel and WHM

First thing you have to do is create the backup/restore file in cPanel on your old server.  This is very simple.

You just need to log in to your cPanel, click on Backups and click on Generate/Download a Full Backup. You can choose a backup destination, for the purpose of this example, I’m just going to leave the default and save it to the Home Directory. You can save it to a remote FTP if you want, but that sometimes creates difficulties and I find it easiest to do everything as its own separate step. You fill out the email field with your email address as it’ll send you an email once it’s done (depending on the size of the site, it can take a long time). Then just hit Generate Backup.
