I recently began reading the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. It is well known as one of the original sci-fi series written way back in 1951.  The series is actually mind-blowingly good… it’s far better than the Lord of the Rings series published at the same time.  You can also tell that the Dune series written in 1965 by Frank Herbert was very heavily influenced by this series.… read more “Foundation Trilogy Review”

I just finished reading the first two books in the Kingkiller Chronicles trilogy:

1. The Name of the Wind
2. The Wise Man’s Fear

I really enjoyed both of them.  They were two of the strongest fantasy books I’ve read in quite some time and I can’t wait for the 3rd one to come out next year.  The series is written as a metafictional story with in a story – basically it’s the hero of the story telling his story to a scribe.  … read more “Kingkiller Chronicles: The Name of the Wind Review”

I have used 1and1.com fairly extensively for my own servers and have had a multitude of problems with them, especially when it comes to billing and web hosting downtime.

Today, 1and1.com had a outage that affected all of their dedicated server clients (including my two servers an M & an XL).  The sites were out of commission for over 7 hours.  … read more “1and1.com Web Hosting Review: CRITICAL DOWNTIME!”

1And1.com web hosting is a terrible service.  Their billing department is an absolute nightmare to deal with and won’t accept payment on late charges, but refer the customer to NCO Financial (which is a scam organization that has $12 credit card processing fees for $20 late payment owed).  I just had such a poor experience with 1and1.com… read more “1 And 1 Web Hosting Review: Terrible”
