Cable Companies: Cutting the feed and Saving Money
Have you really stopped to look at your cable bill lately?
It’s hard enough when money is tight, but have the cable companies constantly raising their rates faster than inflation is just something that isn’t right.
It’s been reported in study after study after study; NO ONE watches 900 channels of anything. They watch a max of around 25 different channels and with just about every person and their brother offering VOD [video on demand] I’ve yet to understand why if I want to watch a show from the discovery channel I’ve to buy a package with 15 more channel of crap I don’t want.
Honestly, who wants to watch Spanish underwater basket weaving in French as an info-mercial? Not me.
So here’s a few things I found.
Time Warner Cable: Your Customers think you SUCK!
It’s the best thing to hit the internet since email, or the Pamela Anderson videos… [smile]
Time Warner Cable has screwed up so badly on their decisions to not only impose caps on monthly bandwidth [and charges], but they have actually blundered the implementation SO BAD, it’s sparked a call for government oversight!
It’s amazing what’ll happen if you piss enough people off; or if your abilities to make decisions are over shadowed by the fact you lack synaptic action to take the tin foil off the pop tart before you eat it.
Does having NO cell phone = Bad employee?
I’ve to wonder right now, with everything that’s going on, and what’s considered standard perception by an employer.
When I was growing up there was no cell phone and the ones that were around, were the size of a brick [an most looked like one].
As technology has progressed, and cell phones are no longer attached to cars, and now to our pocket books and now to our hips; I’ve to ask to employers, and to generally everyone, if you don’t have a cell phone, does this make someone/you less of a ‘good employee’?
LEHSYS Report – June 30, 2009
It’s been an interesting month with the website and just in general my efforts are still in good form.
I’m not getting as much traffic as I would like, but I get evidence from time to time some stories are received more than others; surely this is the case with everyone.
This is my monthly report card/progress report.
Facebook and Twitter – are they for you?
I find it funny when people ask me this little question ‘..oh you Twitter?’ or ‘so your a Twitter’r too..’ and in my mind I’m asking what was I just asked and what’s the significance of my response? What does it say about me?
The underlying question is, what is the significance of putting everything I do on a webpage? Is it really that interesting to read when I may not know any of the people who read this stuff?
The answer is YES. YES- the mundane tasks and events of your day are apparently just another version of a reality show. And whether your adding friends to Facebook or adding a follower to Twitter; you’re the show. You’re the entertainment. You may not think it, but you are…
Movie Review: Transformers 2 – Revenge of the Fallen
The back drop of the Transformers 2 movie is that the transformers are still looking for Energon [as they should], Autobots have established themselves as the ‘friend to the human race’ and Sam is older and trying to go to college; one of those things are not supposed to be there.
The Decepticons are hiding out all over the world and working with the US military [no other countries] Autobots have been trying to find them for the past 2 years.
The Decepticons are looking for something and are trying to find it… I’ll leave it at that.
Download: Open Command Prompt
For an IT guy/person , having access to a quick command prompt is critical to getting things done fast.
OR if you’re messing around on your machine a lot testing out new software, which you shouldn’t do, it’s nice to have these little gems just hanging around.
There’s nothing to this really. Right-click in explorer and Command prompt; perfection.
Thanks for reading!
Flexible Solar Cell Roof Shingles
This is another great article about using solar power in a conventional way.
Why these types of technologies are not used is beyond me.
We have the ability to make our homes more efficient and self sustaining and yet a lot of these types of solutions are not available.
In the meantime, the utility companies continue to rake in millions/billions every year.














PaperPort is an application that allows the average user to try to organize their electronic documents. Whether that the pictures are imported or scanning documents, the program facilitates the function of trying to organize all this information with the efforts of trying to give the user a usable interface to do certain things with those documents, such as send e-mail and post to the web.
Spyware is right up there with viruses, malicious actions and just plain evil people. And it’s really hard to tell the two apart…
