Exchange Server Smarthost
Does anybody have any experience with the Exchange Server SmartHost? I’ve heard of so many people running their own mail servers using Smarthost and get bounces from many many ISPs.
Gotta love Exchange Server…sooo smart.

Pittsburgh Drupal Group
I’ve been a strong proponent of using either Joomla or Wordpress as the basis of any content management platform. I’ve done some work in the past with Drupal but found it to be a little clunky and cluttered for my taste. However last night I was able to attend the Pittsburgh Drupal Group held at Brillobox and I’ve gotta say that Lin Clark, possibly the smartest girl in Pittsburgh, really showed me some cool stuff that has got me thinking…maybe i should dabble a little more.
Out of the box, the Drupal administration section is hard to grasp. So many options, so many links, so much terminology. However after attending the meeting i was able to see that there are quite a few modules that can be plugged in to change the look and feel of the administration section of Drupal.
If you really want to see what Drupal has to offer AND you life in the Pittsburgh area, I strongly suggest heading to the Pittsburgh Drupal User Group (Meet Up) website to keep updated.
I think the next step for me, obviously is to see how I can take Drupal and run with it to be an SEO powerhouse to promote my chiseled jaw secrets :)
DVD Copying Software Sites – More Like DVD Scam Sites
Last year I decided to put together a website about consumer product reviews. The idea was simple…get an idea of what people are looking for and provide to them an honest review of what to expect with the purchase. I wanted to start out small, so I figured I would review DVD copying software.
It is amazing how many shareware, malware, spyware and real DVD software programs are out there. I thought my time would be best spend reviewing products from companies that also have an affiliate program (hey, I do this kind of stuff for fun so I’ve got to pay the bills somehow).
Many of the sites that I came across displayed claims of not even needing a DVD burner, free video players, subscription services and all sorts of other incentives. Soon after purchasing a few DVD software copying "programs" I started to run into something peculiar.
Most of the sites were not actually giving me a program to copy DVDs at all! It became apparent that around 80% of the DVD Copy sites I had reviewed only provided e-books explaining HOW to burn and copy DVDs. While not completely useless, I felt really scammed that I could not make a backup of my director’s cut of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure DVD with the "program." I only knew where to find the programs to do so. I guess if you are looking for an e-book to copy DVD programs, then go right ahead, but seriously…who really is looking for a stupid e-book when you only want to copy a DVD?
With price tags ranging from 19 to 49 dollars be sure to check the fine print which always seemed to be listed in the FAQ.
Tip: E-book DVD Copying Sites usually have really crazy flash animated headers.
If you want my opinion, stick to the department stores that actually sell DVD copying software in a box. There is a good chance that the product is not an e-book.
