This is one of those links I randomly send out to my friends for no apparent reason. I came across Suhr Guitars because one of the band members of one of my favorite bands, The Absence, has switched from Caparison to Suhr. While poking around in the site I saw that Guthrie Govan uses Suhr Guitars. I found Guthrie a long while back on YouTube and was very impressed with his playing skills and how well he puts his music together. The beautiful guitar didn’t hurt(I’m a sucker for quilted maple). Anyways, here’s some links of him on YouTube. They might start a bit slow, but stick with them and you will see what I mean.
(OK, maybe the last one is a bit funny)
There is a major deal going on with Microsoft and they are offering Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate for $60 ($59.95 officially). I picked up a copy myself because I am waiting for my laptop and I was planning to pick up a copy of the Home and Office version for around $120 anyways and this is a much better deal. All you need to buy it at this price is a valid .edu email that you can confirm a link with (I believe your school must be approved as well). With this deal they are also offering Vista Ultimate Upgrade (PRODUCT RED, $64.95) and Office Vizio Professional 2007 ($55.95).

When you buy your copy of the software, it automatically opts you in for the DVD Media to be shipped to you (+$13, no shipping charges) and your total comes right out to $74.09. You will instantly be given your download link to your new software (~502 MB) and a product key.
This deal is running until December 31, 2010 so there is plenty of time to pick it up. My guess for the cheap price is that there will be a Office 2010 release. Although there might be some cool features that might come with that version, the features that come with 2007 are impressive compared to that of any previous versions. If it’s file compatibility you are worried about, Microsoft usually releases patches to allow older versions of office products to access the newer file formats.
I would reccomend this for those who need it for school or do not have legit versions.
So basically, I went back to check out my site to find that there were over 3500 users, and I doubt that at least 8 of them were genuinely there for me. This is mainly because I lazily put together a PHPNuke site and hell followed. The day that I erased the site, there had been 14 new users (all spammers) by 1:30 pm, which is pretty impressive to me. If only I had found a way to capitalize on the traffic. Either way the site was completely useless at that point and I was using 5 GB/mo with little content up and on some days even bringing in 900 MB worth of traffic. I assume some of that was google crawling through projects I had hosted up for friends over the years, but thats mostly cleaned up as well now.
Since that I have completely wiped the entire site and put up a wordpress because I figure I might actually use it. I really don’t expect much, but I will do it anyways.
I have been told that I should post the random shit I send out to people because it ends up as a storm of IMs waiting to be read and in most cases I assume, leaves them not wanting to read the essays of otherwise useless information I put along to them. I assume there will be no specific scope of these links and posts, but you can assume they are in my interests. And by my interests you can assume the subject of the posts will mostly be about cars, computers, gaming, cool science and music. Anwyays enjoy.
