Advantages of a Dedicated Server by David Chandler Many websites are hosted on a shared web hosting server. The main reason is the cost. A shared web hosting server costs a great deal less than a dedicated server. The number of sites on a shared web hosting server can be anywhere from 1500 to 2000 sites. The number of sites on the shared web hosting server will vary due to availability of disk space, allowed bandwidth per site and overall speed. Although shared web hosting is reliable and has minimal problems, there are advantages to host y ... Social software? Check out Google Map mash-ups. by Jesse S. Somer I asked a colleague from work today if he had any news about new Internet phenomena that would be cool to check out. He told me about the concept of social software. Social software is where someone takes an existing computer program and combines it with another idea to make it more personalized for people. A perfect example of this comes in the form of a new craze taking over the world: Google Map mash-ups. http://maps.google.com/ is already a cool site that has taken a personalized approach to ...

Somer If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent many, many hours of your life watching television. From sit-coms and game shows to cartoons and reality TV, we’ve sat in front of the box for a large part of our life watching stories of one sort or another. What we mightn’t have known is that for every one show that gets on the air there were probably a hundred that didn’t make it. This might be hard to believe with shows like ‘The Joe Schmo Show” and “The Simple Life” out there but our world is a strang ... www.flickrmap.com gives life on Earth a picture. by Jesse S. Somer Last week I wrote an article about all the new and cool uses of Google Maps when they’re mixed with other software technologies, (See ‘Social software? Check out Google Map mash-ups.’ by Jesse S. Somer). In that same vein of ‘map usage being taken to the next level’ I have discovered www.flickr.com (the famous photo-sharing site) has a new site called http://www.flickrmap.com/. This idea is awesome and I really think that it’s another step towards human society’s predictable realization that we ...

Role of The Druid WOW by Hunter Crowell Of the many different character classes in WOW, each having a different accepted role, there is one lauded as superior by those who play them, and scoffed at by those around them. There are a few responsibilities that must be filled for a group of adventurers to succeed in a dungeon.

There are damage dealers who are primarily responsible for sla ... By the way, Are we on the same continent? by Allan T. Price I’m amused how little geographic location matters on the Internet. I often smile when I wonder if the person I’m chatting with is even on the same continent.

I’ve just started an online novel writing course with Forward Movement Writers (FMWrit ... There’s no reason to fear when making a website. by Jesse S. Somer I’ve been writing about the Internet for a couple of years now so you’d probably assume that I am proficient with all aspects of the Web, from using search engines to building a website.

You can tell me over and over how cool it is to have a website, I can search and visit other people’s great sites, and still I will be doubtful that I can create one myself. Why? What is stopping me from ...

World of Warcraf ... A Graceful Flowing Font by Allan T. Price Do you think anyone has declared moving type to be the end of civilization in the same way people said typewriters were killing letter writing, telephones were isolating people, and television and the Internet were isolating young folk from other people? Did anyone rouse the mob to drive out that wicked Johannes Gutenberg and his dreadful machine? Certainly the people who said that telephone was killing the art of letter writing have yet to suggest that email is bringing back that same historic ...
