Problems with the poll?

I tried to check the boy/girl poll this morning as I was in the doctor’s office and it looked like it might be down. Has anyone been having problems entering in the guessed sex of the baby?

Just let me know so that I can get tech support (Margot) right on that.

Scary Wordpress update

I’m not sure why, but updating the website is always a little scary. It always says, “Backup, backup, backup!” And then when I reload the page, something inevitably goes wrong, and I get a weird php error. But…it seems that things have gone okay–so far.

Upgrading is antithetical to my “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” M.O., but this was all instigated by Shawna’s desire to add a new poll for whether this kid is going to be a boy or a girl. Check it out on the right!

Get backed up.

We currently have a hard drive that we’ve been storing all of our pictures and important documents on.   Just the other day I almost had a heart attack because I thought I lost an important document and it was literally no where to be found.

I was able to find it on our old laptop hard drive.

However, lesson learned — we’ve really got to look into Online Backup!   It just makes sense to keep important pictures and documents on a different server and location than your primary.

You never know what could happen including theft or even fire to your primary location.

IBackUp.com offers a great website that’s easy to use and really inexpensive.    We’ve worked so hard on our website and keeping everything together for us to all of a sudden end up with nothing.

I’m so not cool.

Even though I supposedly have a cool Motorola RazR I don’t have any of the cool ring tones, jewels, or pictures with it! I use the phone to pick up calls and then I close the phone.

It certainly isn’t a fashion statement - aside from the pinkness of it all! (Yes, I had to get the pink one. Please don’t ask.)

I was able to upload a ringtone a while back and later realized that it cost me almost $3.00! Now I’m looking into free ringtones and I’ve found the perfect website for that!

CellFish.com offers just about anything you could ever want when customizing your phone. In fact, I was able to open up an account in just a few minutes and upload one of my favorite pictures that was on my computer directly to their site.

Check it out:

In fact, it even took one of my bigger photos and was able to downsize it to meet the requirements.On their website you can put the information from your computer directly to your cell phone or you can actually use their pictures and music from their huge database.Even a non-tech savvy person like me can figure it out!

If you’re tired of paying an arm and leg for ringtones — check out the free ringtones now!

Hacker-free?

Our home systems consist of a laptop computer which we take all around town and travel with, and a desktop computer.    Both computers have highly sensitive information because we do our taxes and bills online.    So we know that we have to be very careful and really be aware of our surroundings and where and when we leave the computers unattended.

Another option for us would be - packetshaper.   Packetshaper is designed to provide the best network security that money can buy.    Now if someone is trying to get into your network they will automatically be booted out and you could even be notified.

Right now BestNetworkSecurity.com is offering a free 30 day trial period so that you can try it and see if it’s the right product for you and your personal or business systems.
