Back on the 12th, I received an email from my monitoring service that CC was down and posted the event on the CC Status Blog.
The following day, I learned that my webhost had moved CC to the web host’s new Clustered service. I can see what appears to be several improvements by this move, [...]

I had a friend ask me to look at his PC the other day. His children need it for school work and Windows was taking forever.
I looked at his aging PC and told mim my recommendation was to replace it. He asked for a recommendation. I told him that he should get one similar to [...]

I decided to install XP SP3 update today. It went on without a hitch. It has been some time since I have booted up windows and I had forgotten how long it takes to boot. While I had Windows up, I also updated all other software to the latest version.
With that task being complete, I [...]

I received an email the other day asking about my thoughts on the ASUS Eee, now that I have had it a little while.
I really have only had it for a little over a month. However, I have enough time with it to say that it is performing as I expected and wanted it to [...]

Today was a day of contrasts. Microsoft posted a drop in earnings of 11% because of a major drop in software sales. I think this stage has been posturing for some time now. You can only put out bloated and over priced software, while missing target dates for so long before it starts catching [...]

For three days, my email address at Chiriquí Chatter has not been working. The web Host has been notified, but to this point there has been no solution.
The “Contact” tab above is working fine and I can respond via a different address. You just can’t currently use the @chiriquichatter.net addresses.
UPDATE: I created a new email [...]

I took on a project that has turned out to be a little more difficult than I expected it to be. Maybe there are a couple lessons to be learned, so I will give some details. Part of this is Panama related and part isn’t.
I have a good friend that was buying some items for [...]

As you can tell, Chiriquí Chatter appears to be alive and well once again. Yesterday was not a good day, in more ways than one! It took until about 9:00PM last night, for me to get everything straightened out. Most of the time was due to my lack of experience in searching for malicious code. [...]
WordPress has a feature know as a Tag Cloud. As I get time I will be going over all past posts and adding a tag to each post. I started it a week ago and didn’t like the way I had done it, so I am going to try it again.
This will not replace the [...]

I made a great purchase today. One of the things that has annoyed me is that the USB connection with my Olympus camera is slow on loading photos into the PC. The other day I was in the ACER Computer store and I noticed an internal card reader.
It accepts all current camera memory chips and [...]
