I am on a business trip to upgrade servers at Weblogs.us. The servers are located in Tulsa OK, but for tonight I stopped in Joplin MO along the way. Priceline negotiator got me a room for $42 plus tax at the Best Western Oasis. 🙂 That price is nice but internet is a big part of my work so I always try to evaluate the network speeds where I stay. So far I’d give them a C+ but speedtest.net rates
Almost have this working. Currently getting the following error message: Did a lot of searching and could not find a solution for Zapier. 🙁 Contacting their support now and will keep you posted! Hopefully I am not missing something absurdly easy 😉

The little PCs were originally intended for server use where the relatively vast amount of memory would have been useful.

Unfortunately, since then RAM prices have doubled. 🙁 These two machines never actually made it into server usage. They ended up being used around the house for a simple HTPC setup
Today I received the following PC question: Yo JD, Can you suggest a video card for us to order? We hired an individual at our office, and we purchased two monitors for his computer, but I don’t think the video card it came with will push two monitors.
