I like a lot of sunlight. Apparently, I’m not alone. A company called SkyCeiling is now manufacturing virtual skylights for offices which will throw off daylight amounts of LED light. And a realistic background to make you at least feel you are seeing real daylight.
Basically, you’d cut a hole in the ceiling and [...]

The past four days I’ve been fighting off and recovering from a hack attack on Persistence Unlimited.

Hunter Nuttall has published a cook e-Book for all who aspire to blog. 
If you are new, this is a great book to give you some insight on how to start the right way. You’ll surely have questions about Blog topic <niche>, number of posts, Guest posting, monetization, Social media and whatnot. This book will get you off on the right foot.
Even if you’ve blogged for a long time, it can reinforce good habits. As I read it, I remembered I have made practically every mistake listed.
From page 2:
If you’re into Zen and you’re into blogging, read and share this ebook.
If you’re into Zen but you’re not into blogging, share this ebook.
If you’re not into Zen but you’re into blogging, read this ebook.
If you’re not into Zen and you’re not into blogging, read it twice.
It’s a quick read so it won’t be too distracting for the day - and I must admit, the twist at the end is pretty good!
Download it here. Hat tip Problogger

A friend of mine sent me a link to Elf-yourself which is a silly, but fun experiment in viral web applications. Basically, you paste in a photo of yourself and it turns you into a dancing elf. Someone behind the scenes had a brilliant idea. I bet OfficeMax is getting mad traffic from it. [...]

I don’t know about you, but I like for the music I listen to strike a nerve - move me in some way. Otherwise, I feel sort of eh about it. The problem is, the type of gripping songs I like are few and far between.
I mean, what’s the point of listening to [...]

To get it, all you have to do is download a little script from Microsoft’s site that changes some registry keys for Windows [...]

Over a decade in network administration, I’ve found the #1 rule is most important to all computer users: Rule #1: First ye backup.
