Link Roundup 7.7.10 Edition

Author: Jakob Barnard  //  Category: Websites

Here are a few links from around the web today that I found interesting:

SSD vs Hard Drives Comparison via Slashdot

I actually found the Slashdot discussion more interesting than the post or linked article itself.  Personally, I am sold on the SSD drive for a primary OS drive.  The performance increase is will worth the money.  (For reference, I am running a 60gb SSD as my OS drive with a 7200rpm drive as my data storage drive.  That is working very well for me.)

Finding the best WiFi Broadcast Channel  via Lifehacker

Tweaking your wireless router settings may increase the reliability of your setup.  Typically I change the broadcast channel from the default as a precaution against any interference, though the number of AP points in range of my house is fairly limited.  It is just good practice though since you should be going into the tools and changing the default password along with throwing at least a basic encryption setting on there.

Win a BlackBerry Bold 9650 via BerryScoop

The contest may well be over by the time I get this posted, but worth checking out.  BerryScoop has plenty of interesting posts on all sorts of BlackBerry related topic.  (As an advid user of my crackberry I enjoy the site.)

Business Casual Comic for 7.7.2010

I love this comic strip though also amused at the hype factor in folks electronics selection.  If you haven’t checked out the strip before – make sure to do so!

Well that is all for now!  Might have a follow up if I see some more good links.

Friday Fun – Geeky Comics

Author: Jakob Barnard  //  Category: Websites

Well it is Friday – we all need to relax a little bit.  So for today’s post, I am going to give you guys links to my favorite geek comics that can be found on the web.  Some aren’t updated as often as others, but I find all of them hillarious!Â

Dilbert – this is a given for the office geek.  Just subscribe to the RSS feed.

XKCD – some are better than others, but as a whole dang good entertainment

Bugbash – Worked as a vendor at Microsoft for a little while, this comic was on the internal MS newsletter, and now also on this guys site.

Abstruse Goose – ok, a bit dry at times though

GraphJam: Pop culture for people in cubicles.

 If you are looking for the long life certification career, the best exams include the EMC E20-340, 1z0-043 Oracle Database 10g and Cisco WAASAM 646-653 Wide Area Application Services exams. Cisco 642-415 UCAD, CompTIA Project+ Exam: PK0-002 and Cisco 642-426 TUC Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Communications Systems exams are considered the best certification exams.
