Alvin and the Chipmunks | A Blast From The Past

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.

Once upon a time there wasn’t a Saturday morning that would go by where Alvin and his sidekicks weren’t watched by “us kids.” And, it seems once again that More Munk Mayhem has become extremely popular – very trendy in fact.

For families with young children, and/or if you are a Chipmunk fan in your own right, the new “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” is available on DVD, Blu-ray and, actually, you can make life very easy on yourself via digital download, buy it now.

Frankly, I just do not get today’s cartoons. Often dark and what I consider to be filled with violence, I long for yesteryear’s light, bright, and totally engaging cartoon return. Yes, I am a die-hard fan of the Saturday mornings of old, filled with Bugs Bunny, Underdog, even Mighty Mouse. And, again, Alvin and his gang were always a part of every weekend morning.

Today’s parent is lucky indeed. Keeping your children entertained through music, a bit of chipmunk mayhem, and the ever popular sing alongs, Fox Family Flicks even has a double DVD pack of fun that should keep your kids amused for hours on end!

And, as an added incentive to give your children some quality online fun, be sure to check out Munk Yourself in 3 easy steps. It’s actually very cute. You select your character, customize your choice, and create your own audio message. A great way to teach your young ones computer skills without them ever catching on :)

Boy What A Week Update From Cpanel to Plesk

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Update Time! You might want to glance at the post below to know what I mean :)

I’ve spent the past week plus getting a cram course from my brother who (thank god!) understands coding, hosting, windows (which I’m not using), and Plesk and Linux (though he hates the latter).

I (using the term losely) am moving the entire Whole Hog Blogs network of massive wordpress blogs to new servers – bigger, faster, just all in all great to make the move AND save some cash in the process. Of course in the beginning, it was me doing the data gathering and him sewing it all back together.

But the learning curve has been brutual with 16-20 hour days for what seems like my life. I’m sure my brother is thinking the same thing.

I actually interrupted him while he puts together a HUGE website/blog (that I will write all about in the very near future since he’s looking of course for not only readers but WRITERS).

I am pleased to say that with only short/quick phone calls now (and not every single time LOL), I believe I have come close to mastering the art of moving small, medium, and large (well organized) wordpress blogs. There was an instance, or two, where he patiently put back together anywhere from 30,000 to 90,000 lines of code! Thank you Bob!

So the move is almost accomplished! I loved where I was hosting everyone at Rackforce, it’s just that it was impossible to pass up the bargain of a brand new server built from the ground up with over six times the storage and 10 times the backbone (for much less).

I’ve been a cpanel person all my online life, but you know even when you want to give up and run back to what’s “safe” it’s worth it to stick to your guns and learn something new! Now I’m comfortable with another way to do business using Plesk! TaDa!

Speeding Things Up By Slowing Down

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

More often than I’d like (okay I really enjoy it but you have to be careful), taking a trip around the root directory of one’s host and/or the admin areas of wordpress blogs (or any type of database-driven “website) means finding ways to cut back on the use of resources.

Recently, and forgive me but I cannot remember where I was or who said it, but they quoted Yanik Silver as saying if you are running more than (more…)
