AceIRC.org

Check out the new stuff at AceIRC.org.

That is all…

Hey guys. I wanted to make a quick post about OpenDNS. Now, OpenDNS is a free DNS service that provides users, and network managers with the power to limit content availability, and more. OpenDNS is a very amazing service, and I have been nothing but pleased with it from the moment I signed up, and pointed my connection to their DNS servers. I even pointed my mobile internet connection’s DNS servers to OpenDNS. OpenDNS has provided me with a faster way to browse, and has protection, and statistics built into the service, to help protect me from phishing attacks, and other malicious things.

As I previously stated, I have been nothing but happy with OpenDNS’ service. I would highly recommend OpenDNS to anyone.

Thanks,

Blog Action Day

Thursday, October 16th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Hi All! Today, I would like to make a post about a different subject. Today, I am going to aim to change the conversation. The topic: poverty. We, as bloggers, need to recognize the issues, and change the conversation between us, and the readers, to focus on the issues at hand. Our issue… poverty. Every day, millions of people live in poverty… and we can change that. One person can make a difference. We can unite, and see the issue at hand… forgetting the petty issues, our own problems… just for a moment… and think about the people who have less, the people who live in poverty… and think: “Maybe we can make a difference.” I quote from Kevin O’Connor’s blog:

If you cannot give, just think. It’s better to at least care than to be indifferent to this tradgey that is occuring. Be informed about poverty and see what you can do to help. You don’t have to jump onto every poverty fundraiser but rather just support the end of poverty and voice your opinions to those in power.

I agree with this statement so much… It is better to think, then just forget. I take this quote:

We never touch people so lightly, that we do not leave a trace.

~Peggy Tabor Millin

This applies here too… everything you can do, little, or large… can make a difference in someone’s life. Just think about the people who live in poverty… and think about a difference you can make in someone’s life.

Thanks,

~Sam

New Hosting! (yay)

Friday, October 3rd, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

We’re still here!

Yes… TheCellist42.com has gotten new hosting, so I can kiss my WordPress.com blog goodbye! Our new hosting is powered by a company owned by a friend. So far, they have been amazing, good speeds, good uptime, among other things. You can see the server info at http://thecellist42.com/info.

Hopefully, this welcome change will be for the better, as it is proving to be already.

Thanks!

Where we’re going, why we’re going, and why we’re running

Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Here’s one for the books. My webhost, Dot Layer, is ending services on October 10th, 2008, and I have no host! So… I have a few options…

1. Move my site to WordPress.com. - Now, I have already setup a blog on WordPress.com, at http://samuelferry.wordpress.com, and I might use that site, because I might not have a host!

2. Purchase hosting. - I may or may not be inclined to begin looking for Webhosting.

3. Have it hosted. - Now, a few friends have offered to host my site for me (like 5), and I might have to go that route, but I am not sure yet.

I do not know at the moment what I am going to do… but I am going to have to find something quick, otherwise I would have a problem.

Any Ideas For Me? Email Sam@TheCellist42.com!

Thanks,

-Sam

An Overdone Topic of a Post

Sunday, August 31st, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Well Hi Everyone! Today, I am going to write on a topic that is overdone, all of the time. “Blogging about how hard it is to find something to blog about.” Simply said, on some days (for me anyway), it is really difficult to find something to blog about here. Like today… I’ve been surfing the internet all day, and not a single idea on something to say. GAH! I hate it when I can’t think of anything to say. Eventhough this topic is overdone all of the time, I think it is at least, a statement.

That’s all for now!

-Sam
