Lets be nice and write respectfully .

or your loved one.
I went with Nebula theme .
This is a very nice theme, the guys did a great job with this wordpress theme
I have now created a “TruXter Tech News” page on my personal site.
I will be working to get the places some rank and notoriaty.
The location is TruXterTech.com/News
For now I am using the “Nebula” Template, wich I must say, looks very very good. Maybe I am dated a bit but I lik ethe glossy look that you used to could only get when using flash. This is all css and html from what I see.
Give me an honest opinion please.
Well i got the new domain name, and my current domain name has been looking a bit a.d.d. for a couple years now. Well I decided to make the iworkwithpeople.com all about just work careers and employment. If you know me you have to be wondering ” How the hell are you gonna restrain and prevent yourself from talking tech there?” Well my friends or just that random dude that ran through here and read this article…… I bought a new domain name, iworkwithtech.com :-D tell me that does not fit ?
Ok now comes the issues… I have to split that. i have no idea where to begin with it. I mean I have so much stuff already indexed in the search engines, Like my busiest page on the iworkwithpeople section, is a grand theft auto on linux . I mean if you search in google this exact phrase ” gta on linux” if I am not still right there on top, I am on the first page.. The way I have things set up now you can get to the exact same pages by replacing the word “people” with the word “tech” and vice versa. My main plain is to jjust stop linking to the popular/tech pages through the work site. I am pretty sure that I ran off alot of people looking for a work related site, because when they got there, it was full of tech tips.
You see I fought for a while trying to get that freaking site noticed and well, now that it’s noticed I am redefining it. I know bold/stupid move. I really have to though because those are two totally different sites and topics. I want them to look exactly the same at all times, because I want it known to those who always go to the “people” domain, that I am still the same dude on the tech domain.
I really love talking tech . I really love it when people listen to me and enjoy my help. I hope you see why I had to do this. Now I have to figure out how to make google and yahoo and msn see me without repeated linking and looking like I am gaming the systems.

From Whistle Blowers:
“A U.S. government office in Quantico, Virginia, has direct, high-speed access to a major wireless carrier’s systems, exposing customers’ voice calls, data packets and physical movements to uncontrolled surveillance, according to a computer security consultant who says he worked for the carrier in late 2003.”
Verizon has a finger pointed at it.
This information I got from Slashdot Review.
Of course, I followed up with a search in Google.
Doesn’t sound good and doesn’t sound like a right to privacy.
The part that gets me the most is the government’s ability to track you. Then again, it has been able to track your cell phone for years. Maybe, this will just get swept under the carpet, forgotten, and/or never mentioned again. I’m assuming we will hear nothing of this again.

Well everyone, I am not going to take all day explaining because I really have a bunch to do.
I revamped my website and went with css. well the index is css only. The rest of the site is still html, until I get around to that section. I do have a few pages mostly converted but they are stored in a folder on my desktop labeled “wired”. The issue is I have less link for my site than what I really want.
I like the bubbly look of it right now. Won’t be but four or five months and I will make another change. I really do have an awesome plan in mind (I mean come on listen to the web address) but i also have a job and am not ready for the commitment of all the services just yet.
I am the owner of iworkwithpeople.comI have not been able to connect to my website now for nearly a week, I have seen that I can connect while at work on a t3 line, and I can connect on my female friend’s computer that has a dsl line, and a few friends from live.Pirillo.com have helped me and checked the connection from where they are and they all connect.. except the people on comcast . My site’s address is iworkwithpeople.com and the service I have is through 50megs.com. i assume they took it upon themselves to block 50megs.com for what ever reason they saw fit. in the process of blocking 50megs, they blocked me.. This reduces the number of page visits considerably. Considering they monopolized the cable industry, it looks more like a 20’s gangster bull crap “ehh mugsy don’t let no one connect to them until they pay me 50% seeeeeeee” .I am not happy with this .
The letter I wrote is to follow…
Comcast Houston blocking my domain.
I own a website, through 50megs.com
I can connect to my file manager on sbc dsl, I can connect through sprint dsl and I have connected at work with a t3 line, but when I get home or to any of my friend’s houses with Comcast I can not connect to 50megs.com . I am near time to re up on my domain name and hosting bills and getting really frustrated that I can not connect from home where i feel safe. I want to connect to my service and it appears you are blocking me. Please look into this and solve this issue.

Kinda looks like they sent me a bunch of nothing from comcast.. feels like I am trying to teach my cat how to pee in the toilet.
************update****************
Someone sent me a link to a proxy thingy for myspace
and it actually worked, just typed in my web site address and bamI whent directly to my site. I did not type in my password or anything though, I really do not know if I trust a third party site like that… ya know? so if you are on comunismcast or any service that can not see my site right now, gie that a try. see for your self that you are actually blocked.
************update***********
They host my stuff and for two days now I can not log into my account or even see http://iworkwithpeople.com
which is hosted at 50megs.com .. heck i can’t even go to 50 megs. . this is killing my visit count.
You know, I am starting to think comcast is blocking my host’s i.p. address.
No one can go there that I know of, who are on comcast.
I mean my buddy in another city on dsl can go there
I can go there from my job just 4 miles up the road, and my job uses a whole nother service.
if you can go to 50megs.com or iworkwithpeople.com please leave a notice as to what service you use and which of the two sites you can access.
Have you ever noticed that the same people keep getting the highest diggs?
Have you wondered why? or how they always do? have you wondered why your submissions never even get noticed? I know that I have. On a few occasions I have submitted stuff beforeanyone else and only got like one digg, then flamed to hell and noticed that someone else submitted the same story after me and pulled well over 1000 diggs. Why is that? Do you do follow up later to see what is going on?
See I go to the photos sections.
And, well, I notice something. That only certain people get butt loads of diggs. Is it that people will only digg something from someone if they see they already have a bunch of diggs? is it that people will only digg something if they know that everyone else already thinks it is cool? I mean is that what it takes to be cooler? is to be cool already?
I just wonder if this is a simple advertisement scam. I mean not all of it has to be a direct advertisement, but I would bet that more than 90% are in some shape or form, just a scam to advertise either the content directly mentioned in the post, or something within the page that is linked from the digg post. If a post is dugg 2000+ times, do you know everyone that has dugg that post? do any of the names look familiar? Have you read the responses in there? Are the posts automated? What percentage of the voted actually posts?
