  • This is a notice that tomorrow [January 18th, 2012] LEHSYS will be part of the protest against SOPA and from 8am to 8pm LEHSYS is going to be part of the ‘blackout’.  The repercusions of what SOPA could do to the Internet as we know it could be massive. Unlike the people who are supposed to be legislating this new bill/law, most of them have never read it. They don’t know what’s in the proposed law, they don’t understand why Internet users are very irritated. All they know is that the entertainment industry has given them a stack of paper [and a whole lot of money] and said make this a law. The lobbitst for the entertainment industry in Washington has an extraordinary amount influence on the decision making process of laws and this is a just bad; very bad. http://www.stopthewall.us/?gclid=COyWlb_J160CFcuP7Qod2i4jlA

  • This year has been outstanding for LEHSYS; better than any other. I’ve taken a few days off from writing because of the holidays season, but I’m sure some of you’ll understand, but I plan on getting back to the nuts and bolts of things here soon. It’s important to make an attempt spend some offline to keep things fresh around here. I’m going to pick back up with posting regular articles after the new year.

    LEHSYS Report – December 2011

    This year has been outstanding for LEHSYS; better than any other.

  • In my opinion… Probably the most enthusiastic person to work with technology, ever… he had a vision and a dream to do things a specific way— to give people what he thought they deserved. And his drive for perfection drove Apple to be the most powerful and influential companies in the world. If not for Steve, the things we have today may have never been…

  • As a person who is critical of Microsoft on quite a few points I was surprised to get a nomination from Microsoft to be a MVP for them, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the Windows Live support forums trying to help other users and share my information. At first, to get a nomination of any type through email is suspicious, but I checked all the links and references I could before getting back with them. The email I got from them looked like a typical scam email; wanting personal information about me, where I lived and so on, but despite my better judgment, I completed the request and sent it back. Personally, I believe I would’ve felt better with a SECURE website, but this was email based. Surprisingly, I got back a positive result and a notice that indeed I had been nominated. The nominations would not be announced until July 1st. And I was still skeptical… But as of July 1st, I’m a Microsoft MVP.
