Be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind.

Old Holcomb Lake Memories - Part 1
I wrote this around 2002, to remember the memories of a place that no longer exists. Now I am remembering the memories of rememberance. It makes a good read if you are from the area.

Booger Hollow Cave
This is a small writing about a cave that I knew about once. Lots of trips to it, and it was different every time!

Henry Laurens, The first President of the Continental Congress, signed the Articles of Confederation. This document preceeded the US Constitution. The plantation home land in Laurens, SC was tured into a Monestary, and none of the original buildings survive.

The Articles of Confederation
Better than the New Boss.

The Confederate States of America Constitution
Last of the Americans.

BP Oil Spill
Disgusting to the core.

Services

I offer several professional, or unprofessional, services. Let me know what you want.


Computer and Network design and repair

Repaired or from scratch. I also tutor for popular applications. Werd. Any IT situation that you face, I will dissect and offer solutions for...which can range from new IBM server blades to dumpster diving for a power supply. I will hand you a fish and teach you to fish simultaneously. I know the tricks of the trade, and can set it up better for less.



Website Design

I offer HTML/CSS web design, Photoshopped images, PHP/SQL shopping carts, and complete turnkey Ecommerce sites. That means I can take your carved wooden headphone holder hooks, create a site called carvedwoodenheadphoneholderhooks.com, create a shopping cart front end to an SQL database, and make the web's spiders suck on the tasty content daily with creative meta tags. Sell something!



Online Content Writing

If you need straightforward online content, I can write it for you. 600+ published articles, growing daily. I can write detailed content suited to nearly any application. Specailties include Oxyhydrogen (HHO), alternative architecture and energy systems, automotive repair, and Information Technology.



Database Administration (LAMP, dBase 3, Clipper, Medical DB's)

I can set up or manage several types of databases. What that means is that I can learn the horrors of the antique stuff written by guys who have since retired or died from natural causes, running on 8 or so various vintage machines interconnected with duct tape and paper clips. This is the most expensive service.

Programs that you just can't find anymore. Except here.

PSST! version 0.2 The original encrypted chat program that was wiped from the internet and replaced with a copy that is broken. THIS is the original program that does encrypted chat between IP's, even through firewalls. Worth a download just to spread around.

Sam Spade 1.14 A small multi-tool that can download sites and do a couple of good things. Somewhat buggy when you really stress it out.

Port Blocker How do you know that you don't have traffic on those wide open Windoze ports? Close them with this.

I used to have a couple of other useful tools here, but they eat up bandwidth like mad. If you want a good, free copy of NetTools without having to download a virus or worry about adware, email me.
