Bigger Photos for Better Viewing

Bigger Photos for Better Viewing: “When it comes to viewing photos, we think bigger is better. We’ve begun increasing the maximum size for photos on Facebook by almost 20 percent to 720 pixels to give you higher quality photos and make viewing them more enjoyable.

Why I DON’T Miss FarmVIlle

About two months ago, I got asked to play FarmVille on Facebook. I really didn’t want to, but agreed anyway so that my friends could get stuff from me (even thought I was a horrible giffter). And I played it for a while, then got tired of it and trashed it. I got so many comments saying I would miss it, but I really don’t.

Smile. Over the Hill is Home.

Over the hill is home,
Just down the road is shelter,
When you don’t feel like trying, keep climbing,
‘Cause Over the hill is home.

Lately I’ve been exploring a way to shorten my URL’s for my posts. If you subscribe to my feed, you get them by email, however, 90% of you wait till I post it on Twitter/Facebook. I’m pleased to announce that all of my articles can now be accessed via a jwge.org link. For instance, you can reach this article by typing in your browser, a http://jwge.org/go.

Here is a list of articles I have converted over to the shorter links:

Network Switch

While I have been pretty happy with the discussions @ http://jwgeorge.com/chat/, a couple of weeks ago, I had some spammers log on and flood the channel. I’ve recently switched networks to http://geekshed.net/ and hopefully that will fix my problems. I’d like to Re-invite everyone back to the chat and have some fun with the live discussions. See you there!

 > M$?  = M$?

There are a lot of Apple fans out there these days, but even more Microsoft fans out there. I don’t use any Microsoft products aside from the Xbox 360, but I can understand where it would be better in some situations to have a Windows PC over a Mac. But what really bothers me, is when Microsoft realizes that they are loosing a of “PC’s” to “Macs”, they go and do something stupid.

How 3D Works

Recently I had a friend tell me he had never seen a movie in 3D. I thought everyone had seen a 3D movie, never the less, he hadn’t. But then he asked me how 3D works. As much as I tried to explain it, I really didn’t do that good of a job. Anyway, I thought I would share this diagram, explaining how 3D works. You learn something new every day right?

History of the Domain Name

It’s surprising to see the first domain names were registered back in 1985. I would have thought that domains came into being no later than 1990 because Tim Burnes Lee – the father of the World Wide Web – invented the web only in the early 1990s. Even more surprising that the first domain isn’t THAT old at all.

New Faces to the Game

It’s always nice to see people jump into the blogging game. Being able to share your life, and interests to the world! Recently I saw a friend join the online community via Tumblr. Since she is new to the blog world, why don’t you pop by and give it a read. I look forward to watching the posts there grow from short blurbs, to complete, full of content posts. Good luck to her, and visit her site now!
