Review of Kittle’s at Easton Mall, Ohio, On Google Plus

Below is my review:
I have to admit, walking into this store was intimidating.

My fiancee and I, when we first walked in, were greeted by a woman named Rose. She was not the salesman type(very pushy) instead she said to take our time looking around. We told her we were in here looking for a couch. She basically showed us the area where all the couches were and was very helpful but was not pushy on making a sale.

That gave a good bonus in my book.

We ended up going in there again and getting a pushy salesman who we did not like at all.

After a third time walking in the store we completed a sale. It was great purchasing a high quality couch. It took 5 weeks before we got the couch. The shipping guys weren’t up to par on quality. I expected the couch to be wrapped in plastic, but it wasn’t. This deducted one star. They rubbed a portion of the couch on the entry way which I feared was going to leave a stain, but it did not. If it did, I would’ve complained and told my fiancee not to sign the sheet that absolved them of any destruction.

This store is great, but make sure you tell them you want some sort of plastic wrapped up in the couch or furniture when delivering, they could cause stains or wear on it.

So as Winter Semester Ends

So as Winter semester ends, it is ironic that I have a higher grade in Math Statistics than I do in my database course. The reason being is that my database course grade is heavily dependent on this group project I have.

Overall I am enjoying my experience I gaining knowledge in both fields. Next semester I get to deal with Unix Administration(something I believe wholeheartedly in) and advanced computer networks(specifically learning CCNA certification). I am very excited about these two courses. Can’t wait until I get to work with them.

I am thinking about changing the domain of this site. If I do, I will have to let my affiliate know so that they can adjust there site accordingly.

Anyways, that is all.

Magetech out.

Winter 2012 classes started UGH!

Okay, so classes started up for me already!

I am taking Database Management Systems or COMP281 and Statistical Concepts or Math215 at Franklin University. I can tell this will be a challenging semester.

I have messed around with databases, mostly for backing up and restoring, so we will see how much MORE info I will learn for it.

Statistical Concepts will really be challenging. It seems to involve a lot of terminology that I have never dealt with. Kind of concerns me whether or not I will get an A in the class. We will see how well I get it done though.

I am excited and finished most of the beginning assignments. Will be working on more and more on schoolwork. I have realized that this is not what people wanted, they probably wanted more tips on maintaining a home server but until I get my degree and get to where I want I will be doing school work over my server. I have been doing my weekly backing up and updating information on the server though and making sure to dust it out on occasion.

Next classes are…

Okay, so I am happy to announce, got straight A’s this fall semester: Programming(javascript), web authoring, and networking class. YAHOO! Next semester, I am only taking two classes but they are both 15 weeks long. One is mathmatical statistics and the other is databases. I am excited!

Done with networking, still working on Javascript, next up Web Authoring

Well, got done with my networking course. That is a relief.

Now, I need to continue working on my Javascript programming, which is not that bad right now. I am figuring out most of the programming. The hard part is interpreting the assignments the way that my teacher wants it. Other than that, it is fine. I will be posting my first homework assignments from Javascript class on it soon enough to show you what I have been programming. Boring stuff, but I am hoping later on the applications can go towards more than just the basic programs.

Next class up is Web Authoring. WooHOO!

TARing to backup

Hey Folks,

Well, I have been TARing to backup my server files. It is actually simpler than using a GUI interface to backup files.

Here is a help document provided by Ubuntu’s Help to learn how to TAR:
Tar – Ubuntu Help
It was very informative. I highly suggest people look into it!

Everyone likes security, and everyone likes being anonymous

As I am just dabbling in my career of Information Technology, I have been wanting to learn how to become anonymous freely.

There are MANY services out there that make you pay to be anonymous while surfing the web: VPN’s, Proxies, Applications and so on. Many of these say they are anonymous, yet, a person has to register with them.

Something I have found that may help and is freely available online. It is called torproject.org. This application requires NO registration, NO purchasing and strictly does what it is supposed to do, and that is allow anonymous browsing.

I am certainly not saying that a person should use tor to do illegal activities. No, that is not what I am advocating. I am strictly showing a service that allows you to google or search for a word like “purses” and know that after searching that information it won’t be sent to your ISP or any other services.

And note, if you like using torrents or P2P files, tor is DEFINITELY not a good fit for you, because it is slow, it is only meant for surfing the web. So even if you were wanting to do illegal activities, you simply cannot. I just like it because I can go to newegg, and browse electronics and know that no one exactly knows which site I am on :-)

When business meets education

Continuing my education. So far all A’s and I am on the Presidents list. Hurray!

Fall Semester, I will be learning Javascript. I need to design a program on week two that will let a person input something like .87 cents

and the return will be 3 quarters, 1 dime, 2 pennies. Not sure how I am going to do that but we will see. I already figured out the prompt command that asks the person to input their change.

The more I learn about my major, the more I can this website/server more optimized for public use. Currently, I have only leased space out to my sister who is using it for her webcomic.
