I remember back in the early days of free email on the net, there were three main places you could go to for free email. Hotmail, Rocketmail and Usa.net. Hotmail got bought out by Microsoft and forever changed. Usa.net decided to became a paid service overnight, locking many people out of their email. Rocketmail got bought out by Yahoo and the domain was retired.

Well, sometimes today, Yahoo is going to be opening up signups for Rocketmail.com. I know I will be there, for nostalgia reasons alone. I have a few email accounts that I want to register. Some are accounts that I let escape me and thought I could never get back. Thank you Yahoo!

There was a transformer explosion and a resulting fire over the weekend at the Planet Data Center in Houston. It’s hard to believe that these kind of freak accidents can happen, but they do. All the best laid plans can easily be put asunder with a freak accident.

In this case, no data was lost, just internet connectivity was lost until power could be restored. The question pops, though, what would have happened if data had been lost? Do you have an offsite backup? Do you have a plan ready should data be lost? How often do you make backups?

I will discussing a few ways to backup web files in the next week or so.

It’s getting to be summertime and that means many people are getting out in the water in their boats. It’s a chance to enjoy summer on the water. If you pay attention to safety then you and your family can have a lot of fun this summer.

One safety issue that is a concern for many people are boaters who aren’t sober. Face it, it can be just as dangerous on the water as on the road when someone has decided to drink irresponsibly. Boating Operating Under the Influence is a crime and is take seriously by many states such as Arizona.

Take a look at this commercial about Boating Sober:

I used to live near Bullhead City and remember heading down to Lake Havasu for good fun on the water more than a few times. Arizona boating is fun as long as people are responsible. I love how Arizona has put together a program for Boating Education Online. It’s a unique opportunity for anyone with an internet connection to get Boating Education. If you want a certificate, all you need to do is take their online test.

Here is an awesome commerical about Boating In Arizona:
Maybe it’s time for me to make a trip back down to Havasu this summer?

If you are paying for monthly web hosting, your webhost is probably supplying you with some type of control panel. A control panel is an interface that helps you better manage aspects of your website. One of the most popular control panels is CPanel. It’s feature rich, but it can be a bit daunting at first to learn how to best take advantage of it. That’s where cPanel tutorials from Webhostingrating.com can come in handy.

They’ve got a nice selection of tutorials and articles on various aspects of webhosting. It’s really great. They are great place to go to educate yourself about webhosting and finding a great webhost. If you are interested in webhosting information, check them out.

I have been playing around with social networks like Friendster, MySpace and Facebook lately. I guess SocialSpark has wet my appetite at least a little for social networks. So much for avoiding them any longer.

I first took a look at them several years ago, but social network just didn’t appeal to me. In fact, I didn’t really care about amassing a huge list of friends and could see very little in getting an account on one of them. Now that I am on SocialSpark, I am beginning to see potential with these social networks and how they could help me promote some of my sites.

Hmm, just shoot me if I decided to trick out my profile.
