Most Worthless Software EVER Award Goes to Feedjit.
2 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on January 28, 2010 under Software, The Internet
I've got to say that the award for the most dumb @ssed, worthless, privacy invading, ridiculously amateur, overrated, and absolutely with no redeeming features, software ever goes to Feedjit. I have seen more of them lately than you can shake a stick at being stuck up on blog sites by people who simply don't have a clue what they are offering to the world. AND the Dumbass of the week award goes... more. -
RFID Technology-Secure, or Scary?
0 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on January 21, 2010 under Security and Safety
Those little chips known as RFID are fast becoming part of our world. For those who don't know what RFID is, you're probably still carrying one. RFID is Radio Frequency Identification Device, and they are small chips that transmit radio waves. Many credit cards now have them as part of their makeup. It speeds up the time that your transaction takes to be completed. These little guys don't do a ... more. -

Not quite sure where to find a job, you start pounding the pavement and to be honest, it doesn't seem to be working. Whether you are twenty or... more.

0 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on December 12, 2009 under Software, The Internet, Windows Computing
What is a Word Press Plugin? You all know by now that I am obsessed with Wordpress. I love what it can do, I love what you can use Wordpress for. I work with it nearly exclusively now and I liked it so well that I started teaching it, and building with it, and writing tutorials for it and working with the development of the documents for it. Most of all I love the massive amounts of ultra func... more.

We all know there are some nasty people out there who send out things like that old faithful Nigerian scam and expect you to fall instantly victim. But theres a new twist on an old scam going around thats just enough to spook some new computer users by using an official sounding name and an organization that most of us in the US respect at least, even if we're not always admiring. Granted some ... more.

The Reason We LOVE Computers
5 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on October 28, 2009 under computer humor
When you're writing, and printing, they keep things in a nice tidy line so you can send out secret messages... much like the one Arnold sent to one of his rivals when composing his missive that was a rejection of a proposal. The letter, sent to Democrat Tom Ammiano’s Assembly Bill 1176. Now you have just got to love this kind of coincidence. The first letters of the paragraphs all line up... more. -
My Turn to Say “I told you so”
0 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on October 19, 2009 under The Internet, This and That
Since I was 35 I've been playing on computers, loving them. Since the internet became less than mainstream, when the BBS was the wave of the future, I've been playing online. Webchat Broadcasting Role playing rooms and all manner of things which the friends in my life wanted nothing to do with and just didn't understand why on earth I found that fascinating. I was rather ostracised, called a ge... more.

Watch Great Old Movies – at Home
0 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on under Buying Online, Featured
Remember the cool movies like the original Robin Hood, the great stars and shows that we used to watch? Now I'll grant you the new television shows are awesome and I love them. The Mentalist is my personal favorite along with Sons of Anarchy, but I'm sorry, for swashbuckling and westerns, theres nothing like those older ones. Robin Hood with Errol Flynn still makes me chuckle. It doesn't have a... more.

Christmas Shopping From Your Computer

We all know that I do pretty much everything from the home PC. Now I'm a fairly healthy fifty, but I got thinking the other day that computer shopping is just the ideal solution for the elderly. What do elderly people really need? Better security and an easy safe way to do things. Enter the PC.. Nearly any older person can use the computer. (more...)... more.

A Common Sense Approach to Marketing
1 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on September 25, 2009 under Windows Computing
Lots of you know that I write articles for a living, as well as do marketing and demographic research. I’m getting a ton of questions lately about marketing your websites. I always answer, use common sense marketing. Frankly I don't live on mine, that's true, so my method may not suit you. It doesn't bring in vast sums of money, but it does tank my articles high. For those who are new to th... more.

The Internet has become part of nearly every aspect of our lives, and helps most of us take care of a good portion of our banking, bills and communications. The beginning was the BBS and all that it entailed, along came email, which gave us the ability to communicate with people in other countries in the blink of an eye, and just when people have gotten used to that, along comes VOIP, giving us... more.

Does Blogging Help You Get a Job?
0 CommentsPosted by Catastrophe on September 18, 2009 under The Internet
Not too long ago, experts told you that if you weren’t blogging, you would not be able to get a job or get a promotion. As a result, millions of people began writing blogs, even though trying to come up with something creative every day felt like torture. Many of them weren't good writers and the blogs became torture not only to them. After that, those same experts were telling you not to blo... more.
