I have not kept my web hosting a secret. In fact, I've probably mentioned it a few times in comments in various places on this site as well as on other sites. I use a VPS (virtual private server) hosted by Media Temple. It's their "(dv) Dedicated-Virtual, (dv) BASE" VPS with an additional 256MB of dedicated RAM and an additional IP address for a secure web server address. I have only good things to say about Media Temple and that's why I recommend their service if you can afford it.

The Internet has become a dominant force in modern society, with the advent of new programming, browsers, and social media sites in recent years. Retreating from the Internet would now cause mass panic and confusion as to how to get any type of information; as a race, humans are now unable to function without the ease of Internet access and we cannot seem to remember what we did before this slew of information was made available at the click of a button.

This article is a combination of two old articles. Neither of the old articles addressed the changes made by Google when they moved FeedBurner and one of them really didn't solve the problem of using PHP4 instead of PHP5. I've received enough email to tell me that I need to do this or continue to be asked for corrections.

Most people equate spam to unsolicited email, but spam on the Internet comes in all forms. Whenever you see an off-topic comment in a forum, on a blog, or just about anywhere else, it's also a form of spam.
Social networks generate another kind of spam that makes social networking undesirable for a lot of people (including me).

I'm irritable and I have a good reason for being irritable. Around the beginning of the month, this blog was penalized by Google in the search engine rankings and I'm clueless. I'm guessing it's probably something as simple as a matter of perception.

The old saying of "home is where you hang your hat" is true and to the point when using web hosting. This morning (my morning in the Philippines), I completed the move of all four of my blogs and another website.

After receiving a Google Alert with my domain name on it (for link:www.untwistedvortex.com), I found a website that had scraped 40 of my articles from my full feed, in their entirety, and put them up exactly as retrieved. The website in question, elanso.com, is based in China so it's not like I could get my point across even if I did find out who owned the site. Last week, I reported the site to Google and a day later, found they had 39 more articles than what I found before (for a total of 79).
