-Runs certain windows applications
-Expose multitasking
-and more!

Click here to read more, and just how to get it!

So, everyone’s asking me about my thoughts on the iPad. Even as a tech enthusiast, I still would have to say that I’d love one… For free. The price is just about right, for Apple that is, but I still wouldn’t pay much to get any sort of tablet PC. Sure, the new Apple iPad is pretty damn sweet, it’s cool in many ways from what I’ve seen so far, but again – I wouldn’t pay $499 (or more) to get it. So if there’s anyone out there who wants to send me one, go for it! haha.

Another thing that has probably been said already by quite a few people – What is with the name? Were they not expecting it to be such a bad pun for all to make jokes about? Who the hell names their product after a … yeah…

So yeah, check out this video here.. It’s a MadTV parody made a while back, and now it all has meaning. Look for my comment on there if you wish..

Ok.. Everyone’s asking me what I got for Christmas.. Different people every 10-20 minutes. So I’m going to write a post about it.

Here’s the top 5 things:
1- A 22″ Samsung SyncMaster monitor to duplicate my current one for dual screening from Rachel :D:D

2- Logitech X-540 5.1 Surround Sound System

3- Innovative Technology Roll-Up Keyboard

I also got:
Socks, Underwear (the typical every-Christmas items, of course). A 30 pack of Sony CD-R’s, various candies and chocolates, body spray, hoodies, a computer virus (ask me about that in IRC), a snow scraper for my car, 3 haircut certificates, a $30 gas card, a web-design book, gloves, cards, cash in those cards… I think that’s about it.

UPDATE! I went to my dads and got MORE candy and chocolates, a VERY bright LED flashlight (which i really needed), yet another hoodie, a USB Mic, more body spray (like my 5th blade product of the day), and i think that’s it. >.>

So, stop asking me what I got for Christmas! D:

Tell me what YOU got for christmas in the comments section.

oh, and Merry Christmas

Just wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and reminding everyone to listen to ZTecNet Radio today, as it’s the last day we’ll be playing Christmas music obviously. www.ztecnetradio.com!

I’ll post again later about the stuffs I got, and a kind-of review type thing for most of it ;)

Have a good holiday guys!

A while ago, our gadget was taken down due to a copywrite claim. I’ve removed the bad code (including the now playing for now :/) and redecorated the gadget with more color (now blue).

Download the new gadget here

I put up holiday lights in my room (Streamed it LIVE) yesterday, and a lot of people missed it and asked about it – so here’s some pics!

Just found out about the new Google DNS Servers for public use. They claim that it speeds your browsing experience (which means only when it’s looking up dns records..), makes your browsing experience more secure (probably blocks bad malicious websites or something..) and they say that there’s no redirection or search pages like you get with some isp’s.

“Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS)
resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.” -code.google.com

The IP’s for Google’s new public DNS servers are simple and easy to remember, just like Level 3:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
(level 3′s are 4.2.2.[1-4])

It’s best to set this up in your router, but it can be done on your computer also. Read the Configuration Instructions from Google for help on that.

ZTecWiz put in some hard labor (lol..) to make these fancy new desktop wallpapers, so check them out!

Just writing a quick post to let everyone know that the ZTecNet WebIRC is back up and running. I noticed a slight problem on two of my computers – I had to clear my cache (in firefox) in order for the offline notice to go away, so try that if you’re having issues.

:D

I’m back after a long struggle getting a job. I was employed at Target after a couple of interviews, so all is well. :D

While I wasn’t here (and other news)….

-Brenden delinked his server from the network and left due to personal issues. You’ll have to ask him about that, I’m not going to rant about it on public forum. This in turn took down our WebIRC. We’re currently working hard to get it back up on a new server.

-A copyright claim was made on our ZTecNet Radio desktop gadget. The code for the gadget was taken from a shady source – a person that removed the copyright information from the code – and republished. I grabbed that republished code and rewrote it for the ZTecNet Radio Gadget. The original owner of this code came to me and explained the issue. We both settled on the gadget being unpublished. Unfortunately, the gadget will no longer be in production or publicly available for download any longer.

-A new theme was launched on this blog! It’s very nice, eh?

-ZTecNet Radio broadcasting software to remain on Saturn until I feel like having it run on my desktop at home again.

So, I have lots of work to do.. Now let me go do it!

BYE,
Shawn
