My oldest son is 12. He is only allowed to connect to the internet using my desktop computer in the living room. It’s one of the ways I try to make sure he doesn’t see inappropriate things, all of the stuff that I think he shouldn’t see. When he knows what site he wants to [...]
Spock
. I’ve seen the word Spock lately on a number of blogs and today finally decided to see what it was all about for myself. Spock is a search engine for searching people. Behind the scenes, Spock’s technology scours the web and collects information on people. It tags them all of the people based on [...]
Alexa, Ilikea!
My Alexa rankings changed today, across all of my blogs. The downward trend continues. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Alexa rankings, the bottom line is this. The lower the number the better the rating. The more visitors your site has the lower your Alexa ranking will go. When I started tracking this [...]
Google, are you finished with me yet?
I watched this blog in the course of a few days go from PR0 to PR1, then from PR1 to PR2, then from PR2 back down to PR1. Finish already Google! I’m glad the blog finally has a pagerank but wish you’d make up your mind already. This is the internet, not the stock market.

When installed, this add-on (located at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/321) displays the Google PageRank and Alexa rank, highlights keywords and no follow links, includes [...]
Firefox add-on for website translation
There have been several times that I came across a website that was not in English. Now I took French, German and Latin in high school and college but that was a long time ago and I’ve forgotten far more than I remember. Today I got an offer to trade links. It was a PR5 [...]
Nice Firefox add-on for handling links
I am on the internet a lot. There have been more than a few times where I saw a group of links I was interested in and it took me forever to get them all open. With Firefox this is no longer an issue. I am using a Firefox add-on called Linky. It can be [...]
How to install Firefox
In the past few weeks besides switching from Outlook to Thunderbird I also switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox. Surfing the web has gone a lot more smoothly since then. Firefox is an open source internet browser. It’s free. It will run on Windows, Mac and Linux. It behaves differently than Explorer in a couple [...]
