First and foremost we wish to apologize.  This week the website has gone through quite a “touch-and-go” process.  Everything went pretty well as scheduled and most of your objectives are now met.  There is minor maintenance issue on the administration side that doesn’t affect the website operationally.

Last week we began a transfer over to a new server.  The server provides better response.  A number of prerequisites were planned, deployed and achieved prior to the new site going into production.  Furthermore, this did cause some unexpected outages for a brief period of time.  The longest downtime was on Monday.

Thanks for your patience.  If you would like to drop us a line you can contact us here.

The Columbia Journalism Review posted an article March 4, 2010 by Mr. Justin Peters called Trust Falls : CJR.  The article focuses on Mr. Greenbaum and his actions back in late 2009.

We posted about the incident back in November 2009 regarding a comment made by a reader of Mr. Greenbaum’s question.  Mr. Greenbaum is employed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  The question left some colorful comments made by Mr. Greenbaum’s viewers.  Ultimately, the person who answered Mr. Greenbaum’s question quit his job.

The Columbia Journalism Review addresses the authority, credibility and on-line communications and how it relates to “trust.”

It’s interesting what a couple of computers, social networking, and careless blog administrators can cook up.  Professionalism was out the door with this entire incident.  Someone needs to use their computer to repair their reputation.

PC World posted a piece that includes, per the magazine, the 10 best downloadable programs of all time.

This is a subjective article, but does have a few programs worth looking into.

I don’t agree with all the programs in the list.  The first program is Ad Aware Free.  It will scan and remove adware from your computer, but does not detect as many malware incidents as other software.  It ranks about four or five on our preferred list for our customers when we have to perform a computer repair for one of your St. Louis customers.

Catching up today I stumbled upon a program that fits within a niche.   The program attempts to comfort you as you blissfully type your article or blog.  It is worth a try considering it doesn’t cost anything.  There is an advanced version for those that are kind enough to donate.

CreaWriter features a clutter-free desktop, background desktop image and a background ambient sound.  The audio is subtle and I figure you are supposed to be more productive.

Unfortunately, the program cannot shut-up cats, dogs, nor your better half while trying to write.  You still need a quiet area if you need to concentrate.
