Apparently, the government doesn’t need to pass SOPA in order to start enforcing the ludicrous concepts embedded within the proposed law. A tweet from tech guru Patrick Norton earlier this morning revealed what can happen when the law no longer protects everyone. A New York tech start-up company called Interlogy operates (or did operate) a [...]
Last Friday, we launched the new website for the Bourbon Public Library. Built on the popular Concrete5 CMS, this website has a number of key features that the library needed in order to effectively communicate with their patrons. Included in the design was a dynamic event calendar system, a photo gallery, and a number of [...]

After some careful tinkering, I finally discovered that the default bubble counter was the cause of the problem. Simply [...]
I recently came across a problem with my Firefox browser in which I suddenly could no longer download or save files. Ironically, this was just after I installed AVG 2012. Obviously, I knew that there was some sort of problem between the two flagship programs on my Windows 7 desktop computer. After scouring the forums, [...]
The CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings, sent out an email to subscribers earlier this week apologizing for his bungling of the DVD/streaming separation in pricing earlier this summer. Which was quickly followed by yet another bungling… the introduction of Qwikster. I never did subscribe to the DVDs-by-mail, but have definitely been a fan of the [...]
