Utility Downloads Working Again

by @ Sunday, June 9th, 2013. Filed under general

I want to apologize to anyone who tried to download any utilities the last few days and were unable to. I finally have the download CGI script working properly.

Virtual DC Poll Results

by @ Monday, May 13th, 2013. Filed under tech

Once again, apologies for the slow turnaround time on this. It was a combination of being really busy with my real job along with the poor questions I asked and the way the poll plugin worked. I had to work out how to extract the raw data from the MySQL DB to make some real […]

Correction on USENET AD Group Posting from March 2007…
