Other Things You Can Do With Your Web Server Other Than Installing WordPress
There is more to life for a blogger other than WordPress. And there's more that your web server can do other than hosting a WordPress blog. In essence, you have at your disposal a very powerful and super fast computer that's running constantly 24/7 without interruption.
In other words, for about the same price of lunch, you are renting a computer that is far more capable of handling programs compared to your own desktop or laptop computer at home. The is only a few minor differences.
Three of the most obvious is that your web server is located in some random data center and you can't do things using a graphical user interface. You don't have complete control over the entire computer. Other than that, the sky is the limit with how or what you use your web server for.
Do you need a place to store your data? No problem, upload it to your web server. Most web hosting companies offer unlimited space. Need a place to share your pictures with your friends and family? Once again... no problem. There are many open source applications similar to Flickr or PhotoBucket that allow you to create online photo albums and share them with people.
Want to add a second hard drive to your computer? Creating a web based network drive is a feature offered by many web hosting companies. You can easily map space on your web server to your computer and register the space as your D drive, E drive, etc.
Ask yourself what is something you would like to do with your computer at home. The chances are that your web server will probably do a better job doing it and that there will be more application options available, especially free ones.

How Many Blog Posts Can I Write In The Amount of Time it Takes To Install Windows 7
It really puzzles me how such a terrible product can continue to dominate the operating system business. I mean really, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, they all suck. Microsoft products are terrible. Unfortunately, not many people know any better. Not many people are away that there are other options available.
A lot of people seem to be concerned that they can't adjust to Apple computers. Fear not... I purchased my MacBook Pro almost two years ago, and instantly I forgot about Windows. There was NO adjustment period. I turned my MacBook on and it just worked. It's fast, always works, and I have NEVER had any problems with it.
If you don't want to spend money on yet another operating system, I completely understand. If you don't want to pay for an Apple computer to use Mac OS X, then try Linux... it's actually better than Mac OS X plus it's completely FREE! And you can use your existing system. In fact, you could even dig a computer out of the garage and install Linux and it would work better than a brand new computer purchased today at the store running Windows 7.
If you want advice on making the switch, feel free to contact me. I will be more than happy to assist you. I am sick of Windows, I hate Windows, and the only reason why I have any form of interaction with Windows is because I do computer repair. If it wasn't for that, I would never even see a computer with Windows.

bbPress vs phpBB and the rest... which is the best?
bbPress looks pretty cool. I've played around with simple machines and phpbb many times, both are nice. But, bbPress looks like it blows the two out of the water. Have you used bbPress before? If so, what's your opinion on the message board program? I'm thinking about starting up some new discussion sites, and I'm considering using the bbPress platform. If you have some feedback concerning bbPress vs phpBB or bbPress vs Simple Machines, let me know.
How To Turn an Iphone into a Web Server
I haven't done this just yet... but that's my goal. I want to turn my iPhone into a full blown web server. Do you think this is possible? I'd like to think so. iPhone OS is built around unix and with some special tweaks I think I should be able use my iPhone as a LAMP server. All that's needed is MySQL, Apache, and PHP. From there, I can use the AT&T 3G network to provide a somewhat fast connection and zone edit to keep up with the constant IP addresses changes. All in all, I think this can work. What are your thoughts?
How To Install CentOS 5.5 For a Web Server
I finally decided to play around a little more with CentOS. After work today, I decided to kick back and install CentOS 5.5 to use on one of my personal web servers here in my home office. I'm pretty excited about testing out the OS. Already, it does seem much more complicated compared to Ubuntu Server. We'll just have to see how things go. By the way, if you're experienced with Linux and happen to have some opinions between the two operating systems, feel free to chime in.
The reason why I'm installing CentOS is because most all of the web hosting accounts I have with companies such as HostGator or BlueHost use CentOS. I really like Ubuntu Server, but I don't think it's fair to draw an opinion between the two unless I try them both. I'll keep you posted on the progress and testing.

What Is The Best Linux OS For a Web Server?
Most all major web hosting companies such as HostGator, BlueHost, etc. use CentOS as their web server operating system. In my home office I run a couple personal web servers using Ubuntu Server. I really like that OS, but it concerns me that I might not be using the best operating system for my web servers. I'm pretty particular about things, and with my web server, I like to keep them maintained close to being identical to a standard production web server you'd expect to see running on the grid from a large web hosting company.
All that said, what's your opinion about this? What do you think is the best Linux operating system to use for a web server? Are their any added benefits to using one over another. I really look forward to reading opinions on this subject.

Kbuntu vs Ubuntu... KDE vs Gnome... Which Desktop Environment Is Better?
I absolutely love linux. Over the years, I have always had an interest in using Linux. It wasn't until recently that I started using Linux full time. In the past I always had trouble either successfully installing the OS, or simply using it for day to day things. Today the story is much difference. Most of that can be credited to Ubuntu. It's an amazing operating system. But now I'm starting to wonder about the Linux Desktop Environment. Specifically, KDE vs GNOME.
If you have tried out both desktop environments (i.e. Kbuntu vs Ubuntu) let me know your thoughts between the two? Which desktop environment is better, and why? As you may know, Ubuntu uses Gnome by default, which automatically makes it more popular. That brings out a few questions, such as why Ubuntu chooses Gnome over KDE. Anyway, any opinions that you have about the two environments will be much appreciated.

Blogger Blogs Get Indexed Quick in Google
Barely 24 hours after converting my blogger blog to use a custom domain, the site has been indexed in Google. That's a pretty cool discovery, especially for other bloggers using Blogger who want to use a custom domain, but have concerns with getting their blog reindexed. Here's a screen shot:
The second link is to my most recent post prior to this post. I will be keeping an eye on how quickly Google indexes my posts here on this blog using Blogger compared to some of my other blogs that use WordPress and let you know if there are any speed differences, and or SEO values to using Blogger over WordPress. Stay tuned.
