My fight with comcast

TruXter — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:20:24 -0400

Comcast let me down big.
From over priced installation
being told installation of internet and cable would be free and getting charged $200 to use my equipment
poor resolution, over priced service
Uncalled for charges
Reburying my cable 8 times in two months because a neighbor's dog digs it up, instead of using conduit.

So I dropped Comcast.

For those of you who like to be in every single forum post on every single forum, but you have no actual decent information to post so you just post the word "FIRST!!!" and then run back to the main area and hit F5 repeatedly till you have another post to jump into, this video is for you.

Welcome to the forums. Oh, thanks for creating this video Chris, this was needed for quite some time.

Web Design tips

Here is my own personal notes on How to get traffic to a website and how to build a website http://truxtertech.com/2011/07/how-to-get-traffic-to-your-website-free/
It's a bit hard to follow, just drudge through it and you will get the message . Lots of good website tips.
Like how to create the site. how to get your site noticed, and a few of the things that come along with each, that you don't know is supposed to happen.
Oh FYI, all of those "buy my cd and you will be rich over night and your website will be the best and fastest" do not tell you any of what you need to know. So since I have been trying to help people identify the issues those companies cause, I try and send out a "here's what you really should do" post. so there it is.... how to get traffic to your website.
although, I do show more... they all are important and need each other.

Great Virus , malware and spam protection trick

go to http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
and get the latest hosts file.
Locate the hosts file and edit yours to match that one. Save.
close all browsers.
Re open browsers and you will be a tad bit better off.
The hosts file was originally created to block advertisements.
but the guy found that lots of bad websites can be blocked t the same time and known virus updater sites can be blocked with the same trick.
If you know of a site that should be in the MVP list. you may want to make an effort to let it be known.
