Here's an interesting thought. Back in the early days of the internet, when Joe Shmoe wanted to have an internet presence, he needed to code in HTML, get some web space and have his website hosted. As that average Joe, I created my site first with Geocities's site builder, then through HTML, and eventually through RapidWeaver.Of course the question now is do we need to spend money on a hosting service?

I was looking at various people on LinkedIn a few weeks back to see if there are any acquaintances on there, and I came across an individual who had this in their blurb about themselves (changed mildly to protect the innocent):“PMP certified IT Project Manager with over fifteen years of experience with the ability to leverage her proven record of strategic leadership in solving complex business

No, I don’t have an MLIS, but does it matter? I know that this comment might inflame some people, especially MLS-holding librarians, but my response is ‘m-eh’. (No I am not trying to be a fire starter, I am just a little irked)I have been following the comments on the Liminal Librarian’s blog (which I like by the way and I subscribe to). There are two blog posts, one entitled “if it quacks

My RSS feed reader has been going nuts today.I don’t know if I am subscribing to too many feeds, or if sites are just going nuts with all of this BeOS related news. I have to say – very funny! You almost got me – but let’s move on, please!

STOP! JUST STOP! STOP, READ, THINK!Now that I’ve got that out of my system, here is what instigated that reaction. Over the past year or so I’ve been getting emails from my friends, similar to the one bellow, with subjects such as “MSN is shutting down”, “MSN will stop being free”, or the most recent “MSN is chutting down” (chutting? Was the person who

Having 'just' graduated from the MBA program, I know of a lot of new age management techniques and theories (that made consultants money hands over fist!) that just fell flat on their face and caused industry many growing pains when they tried to implement them, but suffered the results of both implementation (remember, most people resist change!) and the results of the failure of the theory (because

It's been a while since I've had Boss Coffee.I know that it's not comparable to 'real' coffee (you know the kind you brew), but it is sooooooo tasty!I wish there were an asian food specialty store around here...

I've been working on this for the last four to five months - between work, life, and homework I haven't had much time!Anyway, if you are considering the purchase of a smartphone (of any kind), have a look at this rather lengthy article I wrote on smartphones.Enjoy!

Today is Marathon Monday here in Boston, however it's not like past marathon mondays.Today it's cold, and wet...and windy! I've been living in the area since 1994, and I don't recall ever having such bad weather on marathon monday!The Boston Athletics Association, the organizers of the marathon, have arranged for busses to pick up marathon runners 'who just had too much' and don't want to continue

Χριστός Ανέστη! to everyone out there :-)Happy easter - think of it as a second chance for your 'new year's resolutions' ;-)

Added a Japanese Grammar Reference! Unfortunately I was not able to continue with my studies of the Japanese language this semester, but my hard work over the summer to compile a reference of Japanese Grammar should not go to waster. It will be useful later on when I can continue JapaneseThis is by no means a completed document, but I hope it's useful for students of Japanese out there on the Internet!

9 more weeks to go!!! yay! Classes and Work are going fine thus far - lets not jinx it ;-)I recently started questioning the validity, or reason for getting a PhD. For the time being it's just curiosity and bragging rights - so I will continue on to, hopefuly, be the first PhD in either side of the family lol ;-) Cannot wait for Christmas!

Back for another fall semester!Nothing new to see here - keep movin' ;-)I need to get a voice recorder so that I can transcribe my rants :p By the time that I sit down to write what I had been thinking about - *poof* ! it's gone.

Να' μαι και πάλι!   Χάθηκα τόσο καιρό αλλά ήμουν Ελλάδα. Ο παππούς μου, ο πατέρας τις

Χαίρε Τέκνα! Η μαλακία ο υπολογιστής τα έπαιζε! Είχα γράψει την πρώτη του μηνός σε αυτή

Back from Las Vegas. I had gone there for a work related conference. This was my first time west of NYC! It was fun, lots of Geek stuff atInfoComm '05, and of course Vegas is just something else! Lots of lightsand attractions. I saw the Blue Man Group. I highly recommend going to see them. Now back to watching TV...

καλά, ε; έχω να γράψω πολύ καιρό!Είχα ένα τρίμηνο πολύ "γάμησε τα" κατάσταση. Τα μαθήματα

WOW! almost end of the semester! I've been super busy with work and school, so almost no time for updates, but I have been slowly working toward making my France '04 photos more accessible, and upload my Greece '05 photos. More in June! :-)

Yeeeees! It is now 2005! Who would have thunk it? I was in Greece for three weeks in January, had a great time despite the family obligations. My father's side is a riot, as always, my mom's side... well, I chose to not socialize with them that much. I spent about half my time in Amaliada, and half my time in Athens. Personally I would have preferred to stay more in Athens than Amaliada. There were

Wow, what a semester it has been! All done with accounting and statistics, and I am now enjoying the break. Today is snowing like crazy. I am sitting an enjoying the view from my third floor apartment ;-)

Χρόνια και ζαμάνια ε; Πολύ δουλειά έχει πέσει με το παν/μιο και την δουλειά. Ανέβασα

Long time no see. School and Work keeping me quite busy. I have uploaded a "beta" of a vietnamese grammar reference that I had been working on in the summer. I've got no time now to proofread it. Maybe next summer.

Οι Ολυμπιακοί τελείωσαν και μπορώ να πω πώς η τελετή στο τέλος ήταν ενδιαφέρων.

The Olympics are over. I must say that I found teh ending ceremony quite interesting. Now back to hard hard work, and school. I am starting Japanese again this semester. I am also taking accounting and statistics for my Master's requirement.

Η Ελλάδα έχει τώρα αργυρό μετάλλιο στο Wind Surfing, χρυσό στο τζούντο, στην ιστιοπλοΐα, και

Greece has won a Silver medal in Wind Surfing, and a gold in Judo, a gold in Sailing and in a few more events. The USA has won a ton of medals as well, I would like to point out one in particular, Rulon Gardner who is now retired. He won the Bronze. Congrats to all contestants! 3 more days of olympics. You better watch the closing ceremonies.that's all for now.

ΟΙ ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΚΟΙ ΑΡΧΙΣΑΝ!!!! Η Ελλάδα κέρδισε μάλιστα και χρυσό στο τζούντο! (Μπράβο

THE OLYMPICS HAVE STARTED!!!! Greece has a gold medal in Judo (Go Greece!) I've been gone for a long time haven't I? I had a little less time than I had originally imagined! Things are going well. I have created a primer on smartphones in addition to going over vacation photos to see if I can add any more online. I spent time watching some of the Olympic events, and the starting ceremonies which blew

Χαίρε Τέκνα! Επέστρεψα από τις διακοπές, είχα πάει Γαλλία για μερικές εβδομάδες

I am back from Vacation! I had been in France for a few weeks and I enjoyed every bit of it! I was a bit unlucky though and I had appendicitis one week prior to my departure, luckily nothing was infected and the appendix was removed without complications. I did spend a couple of weeks recovering and it did not jeopardize my vacation. I will be putting some photos on here shortly that I took with my

4 Εβδομάδες και τέρμα τα μαθήματα!!! Γιούπι!!!! Έχω ακόμα το Organizational Analysis Project και την εργασία Aston-Blair να

The time is almost here! Four more weeks of school then summer, oh glorious glorious summer, will be here! Still have the Organizational Analysis Project and the Aston-Blair case to do but it shouldn't be hard, our team rocks! I-93 is somewhat of a pain-in-the-ass with the constant changing of the detours, crazy lane-cutting drivers, and people without any manners (or common sense). What can you do?

Ο μαραθώνιος των μαθημάτων και της εργασίας συνεχίζετε! Άντε σε καλό να μας βγει!

And the marathon continues! The new building is now opening on campus at the end of the month and it looks like an airport terminal. nice design but it feels like someone can get lost in there! It needs more signage. School is going well, really enjoying class with professor Tonn. The team has projects due in a couple of weeks...multiple projects - so back to work now.- sign off -

Καλά ντε! μην φωνάζετε!!! Ξέρω πώς έκανα κάτι χρόνια να αναβαθμίσω την σελίδα, αλλά η δουλειά

I know, I know!!! It's been a long time! Well... I am back up now. I decided to put up a half made site and work out the issues while being online. How bad can it be? I am a bit swamped with work and my night-time MBA classes - but I shall find the time! My OS project is no where near complete...and by the way, save the image, don't try to open it in your browser! It might crash your computer. You've

Επέστρεψα!Με πήρε παραπάνω καιρό απ' όσο περίμενα για να κάνω τις αναβαθμίσεις που

I am back!I know it took longer than I expected to get a new version of the website up and running, however had a lot to do! First of foremost work. I had a lot of managing to do at work, changes to make and projects to finish. Furthermore I had a lot of classwork as well! The good thing is that at last I have graduated. I now have a Bachelors in Computer Science!You might be wondering what is next
