A few weeks ago, I posted about the server issues that we’ve been having with one of our shared hosts, who kept insisting that our sites were putting too much of a strain on their server. It was becoming a huge nuisance, as every time their server load would get high, they’d point the [...]...

Yesterday, Apple released iTunes 7.7, which introduced the long-awaited iPhone Apps. But they decided to wait until today to release version 2.0 of their iPhone software (which is required for the apps). Makes perfect sense, no?

Attend any trade show, and you’ll come home with hundreds of business cards. And if you’re like me, you’ll eventually lose them.
