Comments Off on Why I may leave AT&T and move to Comcast
AT&T leads me to believe I will get the the U-verse service, only to find out I am don’t have it in my area, and then I waste a bunch of time waiting until things are fixed..only to receive $10/month off my service. Disappointed!
The time has come to move forward from my role at ChaCha and into a new company as I continue building my professional career.
CloudFront was really bothering me this weekend and I have made a professional decision lately that is good for myself and my family.
The most experience I have with CDN’s or Content Delivery Networks resides mostly with Akamai. However as I make a move toward CloudFront, the single striking issue hitting me in the face has to be how one handles overwriting files.
So I have decided to try Amazon’s CloudFront and S3 services for storage of Absolute Bica files. The purpose is more for browser pipelining and faster loading times versus storage alone. Dreamhost provided unlimited bandwidth and storage, so that isn’t an issue…but I know I could benefit from my files being distributed elsewhere across a CDN.

Comments Off on My entry for the Best WordPress Design Award
Over at WP Web Host, they are running a contest entitled “Best WordPress Design Award”. Well, since my site runs on WordPress and I have gotten so many wonderful comments about my site design, I decided to enter.
Basically, I took the knowledge Macgyver has in his pinky and applied it to my computer setup 🙂 I needed a way that was cheap, fast, and free to get a microphone into a relatively decent position to my mouth as I worked on the computer for Camtasia recordings, Skype calls, etc…
Proving itself a staggering 42 times faster at rendering JavaScript than IE 7, our benchmarks confirm Apple’s Safari 4 browser, released in beta Tuesday, is the fastest browser on the planet. In fact, it beat Google’s Chrome, Firefox 3, Opera 9.6 and even Mozilla’s developmental Minefield browser.
