I’m Posting once a week in 2011!

I’ve decided I want to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now.  I will be posting on this blog once a week for all of 2011.

I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring, and help develop my creativity. Therefore I’m promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similiar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Signed,

Greg Watson

Richard Winters, Easy Company Hero Dies

Richard Winters

Dick Winters, a highly decorated World War II hero who became a household name when his heroics were chronicled in a Stephen Ambrose book that later became the “Band of Brothers”, has died. He was 92.

After enlisting in the Army on Aug. 25, 1941, the Pennsylvania native enrolled in Officer Candidate School, eventually being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1942. He was assigned to the 506th regiment of the 101st Airborne Division — known as Easy Company — and was deployed with his regiment to land by parachute in France on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

By leading the takeover of a German artillery bunker on Utah Beach, Winters and his company saved countless lives from relentless cannon fire — an action that earned him the Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest honor an American soldier can receive. Winters and Easy Company later fought near the Belgian town of Foy during the Battle of the Bulge, liberated the German concentration camp at Dachau, and occupied Hitler’s mountainside retreat, Eagle’s Nest.

New ISP

Well, after 15+ years with my ISP Primus (Originally known as Magma) I have cancelled my service and moved to a new provider call Teksavvy.com.

I started with Magma in the early 90’s with a Dial-up account because High-Speed wasn’t available where I lived. In the late 90’s I moved to High-Speed and have been please with DSL service ever since.

Magma was purchased by Primus in 2005, and I must say that I have been disappointed with their service and Tech Support. I haven’t had problems with the High-Speed Service, however, simple tools that were provided by Magma disappeared. I have made calls to Tech Support and have been treated rudely, had arguments with in-experienced techs and have even been hung up on.

And finally, the back breaker is the cost. I am paying $20 less per month with Teksavvy.

Some friends at work recommended Techsavvy. They have been with them for years and are quite happy with the service. I called them and had a couple conversations wrt their service, the activation process and the migration process. Everything went smoothly. My domain, website, and email server all came up with no proplems.

So, here’s to a long relationship with Teksavvy! :p

Well after a few hours of installation (Apache, MySQL and PHP), playing around with the configuration and security setting my newest project is finally on-line.

I have lots of learning to do and some additional config to get working (email, account requests) but it should be fun.!
