L&C Tech Talk

2010 was a banner year for technology. This was the year of the iPad, 3D television and motion controls in basically every video game system. Keeping that in mind I expect no less from the coming year’s new tech wonders. Here are my top five most anticipated releases for the New Year. 1.)    Chrome OS notebooks Google announced Chrome OS was not ready for the public just yet, but they did release a beta version to a select few. From what I’ve heard it was far from ready for the everyday consumer. Samsung and Acer plan on releasing notebooks running Google's desktop OS sometime ...

1.)   Coin Flip DIY (Free) Have you ever had a tough decision to make? A decision so important that only an old fashioned coin toss could help you make it? Neither have I, but at least this app is free. You can choose between making your own coins from images on your iphone, or you can pick from a list of classic coins. 2.)   Twilight: The Movie (Free) Twi-hards, do you have an undying love of all things Twilight?

Hello- Just a quick message to let everyone know that we’ve signed up for the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. We know you’re busy so I’ll keep it quick.

Helping the American Cancer Society continue their work in the fight against breast cancer is really important to me. Last ...

America’s puritanical values strike again! From Steve Jobs using the whole “think-of-the-children” routine, to now Google and their apparent problems with older woman and younger men (what would Ashton Kutcher say?) - Google has banned so-called "cougar" dating sites from advertising through its network, which is bad enough. Meanwhile it doesn’t seem to have the same problem with ads where older men are seeking younger women. I smell hypocrisy! For those of you who don’t already know, a "cougar" in this context is an older woman looking for a younger man, or, as Wikipedia puts it (as only Wikipedia can), "a woman, 35 years ...

So our Parent company Integrated Business Technology Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio  recently deployed PHP List to managed their large email marketing lists. As the lead systems engineer on this project our main goal was to automate processing the message queue and bounce messages via the AptHost.com CPanel Cron Job / Cron Tab interface. I spent hours searching PHP-List's forum and documentation but could not find the clear and exact answer as to how to create the cron job in a CPanel environment.
