Emergency Maintenance on the Server Tonight

My web host has sent an e-mail announcing that they will be performing an emergency maintenance on the server. This will occur between 9:30 p.m. EST and 11:00 p.m. EST, today.

Web/HTTP service may be affected and this maintenance will not affect your email.

Just thought I would notify you all about this.

Spybot: Search & Destroy Easter Egg

A favorite anti-spyware to many has an easter egg inside. Know what it is? It’s a game!

Scanning your computer for thousands of spyware can take a long time when you don’t want to walk away from your computer while it is being scanned. What do you do? Play a game. Just click an icon and you’re good to go!

I found out about this little secret from Mysticgeek at How-To Geek Blogs.

Unknown Blog #1

I usually read a lot of the well known blogs, and rarely read others because the well known ones usually cover what I want and need. Today I decided that I would visit a blog I’ve never been to.

So, for the first Unknown Blog, please welcome:

Mark Evans: A Canadian’s Take on Telecom and Technology

Organize Your Desk With the Electric Table

Electric Table

I read over at Gizmodo about an Electric Table from BRDA. To find the table, click on PROJECTS and then DESIGN.

I wouldn’t mind having one like this because I have a lot of cables behind my desk. All I’d need to do is somehow have shorter cables!

They also show some other neat (possibly useful?) things, such as the Stuff Bowl and Tilt. The Tilt might be a fun clock to have. Go check it out!

Blog Battle Royale: Vote on Your Favorite

The time is finally here to vote on your favorite entry from the five finalists. They each received their iRobot Roombas and wrote their entries. Now it’s our turn to vote on the best one.

I submitted my vote for It’s not Civic Doody, but Roomba does its Duty! I voted for that one for a few reasons. I like the original entry, I like the video she included, the title is clever and the entry is the easiest to read. I know the latter doesn’t have to do with the contest, but it is still very important!

Please go check out the five finalists and vote for your favorite! Not sure which one to choose? Vote for the one I did!
