I’m reposting this from my “Intermediate Internet Troubleshooting” article as I think the subject deserves a post of its own. You’ll need to know what speed internet you are paying for before this article will be of any use at all to you. Some Terminology Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) will sell service based on download… Continue reading Slow Internet Troubleshooting

This is the process you should follow to fix most internet connectivity problems you might face. I came up with this process while working at a local ISP as a tech support agent. It works very well for cable, DSL, and Wireless internet connections. Most tech support agents will tell you to do exactly this.… Continue reading How to Fix Most Internet Problems

I hope everyone had a good Christmas weekend. For me having Christmas on the weekends usually makes things easier around here. Those that work in normal non-mail sorting jobs have almost a week off and generally hang about here. That’s usually pretty nice. It was a lot more relaxed then it has been in the past.… Continue reading Random Ramblings

It was set to be released on November 22nd (which was really convenient considering my birthday is the day before), at least according to Amazon.com. You can read IGN’s very brief article here. Unfortunately, this isn’t anything really new with Blizzard.… Continue reading Nothing New With Blizzard

The other day I started a thread on the Wizards of the Coast Message boards looking for more melee weapons for my d20 Future/BESM d20 campaign. I got some really cool replies but at some point it degraded into an “Average Damage” argument. It seems pretty silly to me because I’m not 100% sure what… Continue reading Geek Argument Wars

I consider myself a geek, and my geekhood is something I’m very proud of. I’ve recently been calling myself a ‘geek lord’ because of the level of geekiness I have attained over the past several years. I think my credentials speak for themselves, I play D&D every weekend, computer technician, obsessed with video games, write… Continue reading Geekness
