Get 20% off of A2 Hosting’s already-cheap plans

Sam Glover — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:46:53 +0000

A2 Hosting has some pretty awesome hosting plans. For less than $8/month (if you pay 3 years in advance), you can get unmetered storage and bandwidth. They do not mean unlimited. No using your account for offsite backup, for example. But still, pretty good. No worries if you get hit by BoingBoing, for example. But [...]

What are you paying for hosting—and are you getting your money’s worth?

Sam Glover — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:25:20 +0000

Website and e-mail hosting are services for which you can pay a little or a lot with little difference in service. And sometimes you actually get more when you pay less. For example, I pay $10/month for hosting for my firm website, three blogs (this blog, Caveat Emptor, and Lawyerist), and unlimited e-mail accounts. I [...]

Choice There are two parts to choice: (1) different software that does the same thing, and (2) the ability to modify software to do what you want. Don’t like the [...]

Sam Glover — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:25:11 +0000

I have been Microsoft free* for a couple of months now, as well, using Ubuntu GNU/Linux as my primary operating system, with OpenOffice.org as my office suite. I have [...]

Sam Glover — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:31:28 +0000

Boyd Johnson has an ingenious way of tracking his time throughout the day. Just open Windows Notepad and, when starting a task, hit F5, which stamps the time into your text file.

Brits shying away from Microsoft Office

Sam Glover — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:55:35 +0000
