My browser, Google Chrome, gave me a warning about the site hosting malware. This has never occurred before, thus I doubted the message. I ignored the warning, and sure enough, my virus scanner popped up identifying viruses. I was quite shocked, as this site is for a cable television station.

Linux: Remount a Directory
Posted: April 13, 2010 at 11:27 pm by Nathan Driskell
When it comes to Linux, I am below that of a newbie. Any version of Linux that is command line driven terrifies me. I have had to much exposure to Windows to get used to a command line interface. Also, I am lazy, which means I do not wish to type out everything I wish [...]
Hostgator Review
Posted: March 30, 2010 at 12:47 am by Nathan Driskell
I recently changed web host providers due to the bad experiences I have had with IX Web hosting. I was looking for fast but affordable hosting solutions when I came upon Hostgator. I had experience with Hostgator many years ago, and was not very impressed. It has been almost 9 years, so I decided to give them another chance. For now, I am glad, as I am happy with the level of service I have experienced with Hostgator.

Burger King’s Windows 7 Ad: Jack Needed
Posted: October 25, 2009 at 8:49 pm by Nathan Driskell
Japan, land of the insane. If you live there, you may have seen ads for Windows 7 from Burger King. The Windows 7 Whopper is a whopping 7 slices thick, more then enough to get your mouth around. What’s worse, is the Windows 7 Whopper is around 1,000 calories, and costs around $8.50. I am not sure how one can even eat it without breaking it down into smaller parts. Who has a mouth large enough? Maybe Jack in the Box can provide a car jack. Get it?
