The Great Hope Re-Visited April 4th, 2010
So back in October of 2007 I posted The Great Hope. Since then a lot has changed for me especially in my world and view of finances. Back then I was struggling to pay things off and hanging onto promises made by employers that were never kept. Today I am a Dave Ramsey zealot! So what I am getting ready to talk about is a bit out of my new character.
In June of 2007 I had told my Father in Law (very good with money) that if I invested 10k right then and there I would get a 70% average return.

Blinded me with Science! So how do I turn off the LED on my Cisco APs? September 2nd, 2009

Hope this helps some of you wireless wonder pets out!

Just wanted to let everyone know that things are going to start looking different. Last time I changed things everything got wonky and I lost lots of readers.

Thanks,
Josh
CAN YOU SPEAK ENGLISH ???? January 26th, 2009
Sorry I had to type the intro that way. You know us Americans we think if we say it loud and slow enough even the Martians should understand our version of English. Anyway just so you know if you want to check this site our in another language I have added that option to the lower part of the menu bar just below my Links. I’ll move it up higher when I have a few minutes. If something translates badly blame Google not me.
