If you need one now, get it now. If you keep waiting, you'll be waiting forever while they keep refreshing them in the years to come.

Haven't tried Windows 7, but I have Vista x64 and I haven't run into any problems. Unless you have really obscure hardware from companies nobody's ever heard of, you shouldn't have any driver issues. Other than that, everything runs normally.

We don't "ban" them, but it's District policy to get permission to use them prior (else it could result in a consequence). It's not so much to block unwanted apps--Zen usually does that fairly well--but rather the threat of viruses.

Your best bet would be to style the Wordpress blog around the iWeb site, then use Wordpress' extensive flexibility to integrate the two. iWeb is fairly limiting, so you won't be able to do much on its end.

If you want it to mirror/redirect/use a different link or IP, though, you'll need to edit the DNS info and not use the auto creation that most hosts offer.

"The Keyboard Story"

Alright, so a lot of people have been asking me to post this, so I guess I have to. Not a problem, though, I need to break in my new keyboard :P

So on Saturday night, I decide my keyboard is dirty. Understandable, as everyone knows, as keyboards are huge magnets of dust, dirt, and everything else that you can think of (and then some that you can't) that can fit through those little cracks between the keys.

Get the supplies ready: hot water, isopropyl alcohol, cotton swabs, screwdriver (to pry… Continue

Is Ventrilo Really Secure?

Many of you are familiar with Ventrilo, which is a program that lets you talk to other people over the Internet. I myself run a public Geeks Ventrilo server, but that's besides the point.

It was brought to my attention today that there are some major vulnerabilities that, if put into the wrong hands, can almost destroy a Ventrilo server.

Do you really get all the sleep you need?

As many of you know, I am a sophomore in high school. Being a sophomore, I'm not able to drive yet, and am forced to take the bus to school every day.

I have a friend who also takes the bus. We generally sit in the seats next to each other. However, almost each and every day, she falls asleep on the bus. Mornings and afternoons. Sometimes she'll just be sitting there listening to music, sometimes she'll be in the middle of a text message, doesn't matter. Now, of course, I didn't write this blog… Continue

Hey Calvin!

I read your comment on the Mac Mini Fan Club group about having a Mini that you'd be interested in selling, do you still have it and still interested in selling?

My wife is looking for a Mini and I'd rather buy one from a Geeks Member than anywhere else!

What's the specs and stuff?

Send me a message here - I'm on or near Geeks most of the time!

Thanks
Frank

You are welcome my dear. I hope you have a killer day.
