May 15, 2010 Posted Under: Internet, Personal, Technology, Twitter, blogging

It is just about that time again to renew the web site.  Of course this brings up all sorts of questions about whether I want to keep the current domain of paulmccord.net or change to something else.  It also makes me wonder whether or not to change my page to a static page or keep [...]

Aug 07, 2009 Posted Under: Internet, Twitter, opinion, social networking

The last couple of days I have been removing contacts from my Twitter page because there was a lot of spam.  I went from 675 followers back down to 73.  I think I may have inadvertently deleted a few people that I did not intend on doing.  Since it took me several hours to go [...]

Mar 18, 2009 Posted Under: Technology, Twitter

I have been one of the greatest advocates of using Twitter.  I use them every day  for two years and loving it.  Lately they have been getting on my nerves to a point that I am yelling at them.  One of the major attractions to using Twitter is the ability to update via short messaging [...]

Twitter Troubles (Worth It)

May 31, 2008 Posted Under: Internet, Twitter, opinion, social networking

As many of you have found, Twitter has been having problems with instant messaging (IM), and paginations.  I have been frustrated with these issues myself but I hope they will be back up full time soon.  Their service has become so cool that there are literally thousands of new people signing up each day.  There [...]

Mar 27, 2008 Posted Under: Technology, Twitter, opinion, social networking

As most of you know, I am an Internet junkie and love to play with social networks minus Myspace.  No matter how much I try, I just cannot get into Myspace.  I have grown to love Twitter because of its short messaging system (SMS) capability.  It is really nice to be mobile and get text [...]

My Leaking Roof

Feb 16, 2008 Posted Under: Amateur Radio, Technology, Twitter, social networking

This morning I woke up expecting to see ice all over the trees and power lines like we did in December but happy to see the temperature was above freezing and there were very few ice sickles. I was shocked to see rain dripping from the ceiling in four places in our den.  We just [...]
