My Absence
Saturday, August 07th, 2010 | Author: Mike

All,

I know I have been MIA for a few months and had no recent posts but I will hopefully be back now. Not to get into to much detail about my absence, I quit my job for a new job at a larger company with new technology. My first two months at my new job have been awesome and my first project has been re-wiring the entire data center so I have been pretty busy. But along with this new job and new responsibilties comes new knowledge and new technology I can blog about and share with everyone.

Why every web site needs SEO
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | Author: Mike

Every site needs some form of SEO or advertising or else the web site is absolutly useless because no one will see it there. Now when I speak of SEO and advertising it can be as simple as adding some new content every few days or telling some friends about your site. Or as difficult and expensive as having someone completly optimize your website for search engines and purchasing PPC ads off of Google or Yahoo.

Viruses Can Affect All Computers
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 | Author: Mike

Ok so I want to set the record straight once and for all about all these advertisments stating that MAC does not get viruses. I personally have absolutly nothing against MAC I think they make a great computer. I am a Windows and Linux user so I am no going to show bias here and I will even include in my statement that Linux is not immuned to viruses as well. People it is all about the numbers here and what make more sense for the person writing the virus or malware as it is more commonly referred to know.

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.

Online Video Training
Tuesday, December 08th, 2009 | Author: Mike

As most of you probably don’t know I am very active in community service and volunteering, mainly fire and rescue services. I am an active Fire Fighter and an active ALS provider for my local Rescue Squad. Over the past couple months I have been trying to get my recertification hours in before the end of the year. Luckly for me I found this amazing web site that allows me to get some of my training hours by watching videos and then taking short 10 question quizes to just verify that I have watched the video.

National Security and Cyber Terrorism
Sunday, December 06th, 2009 | Author: Mike

Ok well I had to write about this at some point because it is constantly on the news and finally seems to be growing more and more awareness in todays society. That is the importance of Network Security and how lightly our government has been taking it for the last 15 years. Not only the governement not taking network security seriously but the private sector takes it even less seriously and they probably have some more vital information that could impact our every day lives.

Peripheral devices and their drivers
Saturday, December 05th, 2009 | Author: Mike

So my first topic for this category will be Peripheral devices and driver CDs for them, how 1990s is a drive CD that comes with your printer. You get your new printer, camer, scanner, or what ever device you just bought and with it comes a nice little CD with all the drivers and software you need to get your device working. But what next?
