Thursday, September 10th, 2009Monitoring WildBlue Satellite Usage
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009Where I live I have no access to cable or DSL for broadband internet. My choices are dial-up or satellite, so the decision is clear, I went with satellite through WildBlue. I signed up with them through Dish Network since they’re a partner. I’m mentioning this because what I’m about to explain, I’m pretty sure won’t work if you’re a direct WildBlue customer or have signed up through another one of their partners. So, bottom line, if you have WildBlue through dish Network read on. I’ll show you how to monitor your bandwidth usage directly from your desktop.
Internet Storm Center Gadget
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009Decided to take a look at Google Desktop and see what it takes to actually create a gadget.
