Kyle Ohme — In the life of a dot com

I think that I may have found my new addiction …

I dont knwo why i ahev been bucking the fact that cloud computing is oging to be the next thing.  I think its becasue i have to somewhat split the two things that i really enjoy doing and that is technology and starting businesses. Cloud computing really breaks the mold when it comes to scaling yoru infrastructure or statup costs for that matter. I am convinced that I can ditch my server and hosting and move to the cloud to only pay what i use.

I think that it really clicked the other day when i starting to think that I can use things like Jumpbox and run VMs in the cloud.  All of a sudden you can build a business over night w/o physical space.
I think that I have an awesome hands off IT business model now all the way from phones, product testing and compute power.  Now its just to find the right product and start to test the waters.

Well, off to get drupal working in the cloud as my first test =)

Good app … worth the time look at / download.

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it’s fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

A new update of Process Explorer has been released

For all of you that cant get off of craigslist (that would be me included) here is a great application to add an updated look and feel to craigslist.

Go ahead and give it a try!

I saw this on Make today

I have had this working at home over the XBMC interface .. if you have not done this yet on your AppleTV .. DO IT!

Its an easy install -

You need a USB key, apple laptop/pc and about 15 min of time.

download the XBMC patch stick creator, make the drive, plug it in to your apple tv, unplug, restart, install, done!  Enjoy …
Much better than windows media center and at a cost of $150-$250 total!
