Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer is treatable. For those diagnosed with thyroid cancer, there is much hope. It is urgently important, however, to take action immediately, begin working with an oncologist and find a path of treatment. All cancer treatment is a battle against the clock. The earlier the detection, the earlier the treatment, the better your chances for full recovery.

According to the Thyroid Foundation of Canada, thyroid disease may also cause a person to experience an unnatural amount of anxiety. This can cause erratic behavior or even emotional instability. There are treatments available to counter this problem.

Ali's First PHP Script

Alexandria's first real php script. I really wrote this one all by myself and I'm only ten, thanks to my dad who works with computers for a living. He is teaching me all the things that he knows, and he said that if I learn how to work on computers like he does he'll get me my very own labtop!! :)

I wish that my sister Victoria's bird would shut-up! I think I'm going to save money to buy it a shock coller because it's sceaming hurts my ears.

Now I'm going to test variables.

My name is Ali

INFO: Simple, fast, straightforward... and a dash of JasonN blunt opinions.

Ever since 1997, I've been giving people the straight dope on PCs and internet technologies. I didn't come to tech as an Information Systems engineer, or via tradeschool, college, even a career choice. I got here selling stuff, very non-tech stuff at that. I first noticed the internet as a commercial opportunity in 1994, then in 1997, someone talked me into starting an ISP (Internet Service Provider). I was young, and learned fast. The rest of the 90s was a fast track conversion to hybrid businessman / tech geek. You may call me guru if you wish :)

Learning Stock and Options Trading

I saw Phil Town at a conglomerate seminar that included people like Tom Hopkins and Zig Ziglar. His blog should be a good read. His recent book, Rule #1, is likely also a good read. There's no way that losing money is a good idea, so I tend to believe that Rule #1 (DON'T LOSE MONEY) is a good investment mantra. He was pitching the InvesTools seminar, so I bit.

Essential Free Windows Programs

This list of free essential Windows programs will make the life of any developer or power user much easier.

  • 7-Zip handles practically any zip version you could imagine. It will decompress tar, gz, rar, zip, bz2, rpm, arj, cab, cpio, 001, and deb files. It also allows for plugins to add further file type support.
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit PDF Reader are essentials due to the ubiquitous nature of PDF documents. Foxit is lighter, much faster, and a smaller install. It's preferable on a system with limited resources, like a laptop. Adobe's tools can be resource hounds.
