Dear LazyWeb, please guide me gently into the 21st century.

As part of another blog project, I need to be able to host a handful of images (for use in

I've been pleased with the service I've gotten for the last 14 years from a small, independent provider, but they, like many of their peers, are having trouble staying afloat. I really hope they make it, but it would be wise for me to find out what else is out there. So, dear LazyWeb, since I haven't done this in a very long time, I figured I'd ( Read more... )

But maybe it's time to move to a machine that can support an OS newer than 10.4 and a Firefox newer than 3.6, so I'm considering other options too ( Read more... )

A very helpful (yes, really!) technician at Verizon diagnosed our network problems as a flaky router, so he sent us a new one and we swapped it in today. The old router had two features that I found useful: I could name devices on the network, and the "my network" list showed me everything that had connected since the last router restart, not just ( Read more... )
