New MikeNet PC Content Management Software
Monday, December 28th, 2009 | Author: Mike

Aside from being a Network Administrator, I absolutly love doing websites and I have my own little web site design business on the side. Due to possible ethical conflicts I am not going to list the company name here but if you Google I am sure you will find it.

With all that being said I also love creating Web Applications to make people’s life a little easier. I am currently working an Content Management System for web pages that is easy to install and easy to use. I am hoping to be done with this project in the next week or so since I am going to lock my self in my office until I can get it done. I am looking for some Beta testers that would be willing to try my CMS for me and in return you will receive a subscription to my newsletter along with a free copy of the full finished version of the CMS for your personal use.

MAC addresses are burned in addresses that are associated with your Network card, whether it be wireless, wired or even bluetooth. Each device has a specific MAC address that is unique to it only and no other device has that address. Most systems allow you to change your MAC address but it is purely software based, it will not changed the burned in address on your card.
