Switched to Etheric.net

We had our wireless broadband, by etheric.net, installed today and it is working great. We are seeing upload and download speeds of areound 3Mbs



There was only one problem that we saw. When it was first installed, there was about a 5 minute period that the connection stopped working. Since the installer was still here, he called technical support and by the time that he was off the phone it was working.

BlogExplosion

BlogExplosion is a website that is a way to bring traffic to your blog. It is a site that will generate traffic to your blog when you view other blogs. So if you are interested in finding new blogs, this is one way to do it, and get more traffic to your blog.

Update: This rss feed would just have a url to the blog, and not show each of the blog entries.

I was having problems using Mozilla on an Exchange IMAP server. The web interface to the IMAP server wants to use a folder called "Deleted Items" as the trash folder, while Mozilla, by default, wants to use a folder called "Trash". I got tired of having two different folders that deleted emails get moved to, so I found a page with some instructions to tell Mozilla to use a different IMAP folder for the trash folder.
