Just and FYI for everyone. The webhost we use is moving the server cluster that all of Techography Networks lives on. They are projecting downtime to be from 10pm PST On Friday till 2am PST on Saturday.
So if you are suffering from insomnia and can't get on the site between those hours, that is why. Should anything change, I will be sure to update the information.
UPDATE: For undisclosed reasons, the cluster move did not occure this past Friday night as planned and has been rescheduled for this coming Friday the 8th. So all of the above information is still in effect.

Writer’s strike be damned–this ain’t no pinko union shop. The 2007 CFBAs are here, and it is time to recognize only the most eloquent, witty, and fart-joke encrusted verbal distractions from around the blogosphere for this year’s round of awards. (Joel and T. Kyle have already made their announcements earlier today. Check them out, since we’re bound to leave out important information, like how to nominate people, when they’re going to be awarded, or what they are in the first place.)
In an effort to do what we fail in flames to do every day here at EDSBS.com, we will focus on the details, particularly of the nomination process.
Nominations will open today and will continue through next Sunday night, January 27. The week of January 28 will be spent culling the nominations into a list of three to five official nominees for each category. These nominees will be announced essentially the same way they were last year -- at intervals on Monday, February 4 at EDSBS, MGoBlog, Burnt Orange Nation, Dawg Sports, and Rocky Top Talk.
To cast the widest net possible, anyone – bloggers and their readers alike – can make nominations.
Orson Swindle at Every Day Should Be Saturday will be this year’s host. He will have the specifics on the nominations later this morning, but one thing bears emphasis by repetition here: the best way for a blogger to nominate another blogger or a post is to say something nice about him, her, or it in a post. Have a look at the links to the Award Presentations in the Trophy Case and notice that they contain a lot of quotes from and links to nomination posts. Yes, it makes the presenters’ task of writing the presentation post easier, but it’s also nice to be quoted and linked to during the presentation of the award.
Ok, so I lied, but it's still some pretty nice stuff. As much as Bloodspite and PGS would like for you to believe, I'm actually not dead. However, as many of you might know, this site was orginally going to be about technology. Like so many other attempts I've made, it's pretty obvious I failed on this one big time. All is well however. I've been given the good fortune to afford multi domains.
An since I own this one as well, that means I can come over here and post a link to another of my sites that is dealing with technology. (I don't sound bitter do I? I'm really not going for bitter, so please don't misread)
After 5 years, I'm upgrading my PC innards. You can get some details by visiting our sister site, techography.org. Though if you click on the big blue line to the left of this text, you can get there a little quicker. I'm going to finally join the 21st centry of computing and get in on some o that 64bit, multi gb's of ram action I've been reading about for the last few years. An maybe in a month or so, I might even be able to try some hot SLI action. We'll have to wait and see.
Just wanted to stop by real quick and wish everyone a Merry and Safe Christmas.
I hope you are all spending time with your close and extended families. After all, that is what these holidays are should be about. Toys are just an added extra bonus.
I also wanted to send a special Merry Christmas and a big Thank You to Bloodspite, PGS and the new guy Doug. Without you, there wouldn't be anything to read and I appreciate the continuing effort to put things on the front page. Thank you all.
Do you love Verizon's cell service but hate how they basiclly lock your phones balls in a closet? Meaning that you can't even put a simple ringtone on your own phone without buying it from their approved services.
If so, and if you happen to also have the Motorola Krzr k1m, head on over to the .org side and check out the artical I just wrote on hacking the k1m. It's not a how-to for total idiots, so you have to have some basic computer skills about you, but if you want to stop payikng for ringtones that you can make yourself and load on your phone, it's a totally free way of going about it.
Just incase you still remember the days of kicking ass and chewing bubblegum, head on over to our sister site (Techography.org) and read the article on the surprising possible comback of Duke Nukem. Complete with links to the new teaser video, images and a Q&A session with one of the 3D Realms big guy's on the project.
I'm touched a bit with sorrow as often he and I passed E-mails back and forth. We also both worked in the Cellular industry and swapped Cell stories. I even threw some work his way upon occasion.
For those of you who may have read any number of the articles we've linked from here to Noble Eagle, you may have noticed that he's been oddly silent the last few months.
I can't go in to details, but all is well with him.
He's on TDY, is getting in to shape, and is debating whether or not to return to blogging but current military regulations stymie that somewhat.
Otherwise he is doing well, and we look forward to hopefully hearing from him again in the future!
I had intended to get it today but unfortunately bills come first.
The producers of the game take pride in its historical accuracy. The locations in the game are distinctive models of the cities. All of Altaïr's targets are also historic leaders who died or disappeared in the year 1191 (though not necessarily assassinated).
The reviews are good thus far, and all it's doing is making me salivate more.
I'm drooling.
