  • Does anyone know where in Montana you can actually see a river split at the continental divide? near Butte?

    Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009 and filed under western montana | 1 Comment »

    Im gonna be travelling through northern Wyoming or western Montana on the way into B.C. Canada, and was wondering if there is anywhere near there where you can actually observe the water flowing in two different directions? I remember somewhere much further south (probably in Colorado or New Mexico) where I stood in the middle of a river right at the junction watching the water flow one way to the Gulf of Mexico and the other flowing to the Pacific ocean. Any info would be wonderful thanks!

    No, but may I suggest going to see the triple divide peak if you’re going to be in western Montana? It is farther north than it sounds like you’re planning on being, but it seems like you might find it interesting. This is the point at which 3 different drainage systems meet. It is located in Glacier National Park.

    I think that’s the name of an apartment complex next to Mission Valley Shopping Center. Which is at the corner of Western Blvd and Avent Ferry Road, just south of NC State University’s main campus (west of downtown).

    How can I connect to my home internet connection from work?

    Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009 and filed under work from home | 2 Comments »

    My work has an extremely restrictive firewall that actually gets in the way of my work. I’m wondering how I can connect to the internet connection at my house from work. I bring my labtop to work and leave my desktop at home. Is there a way to connect to the internet through my home desktop computer from my work labtop computer? Thank you.
    I have remote desktop and know how to use it. However, my husband needs the computer at home while I’m at work because he works from home. So I can’t use remote desktop because it takes over that computer and he can’t use it then. I just need the network, I don’t need the files on the computer. Is there a way to do this?

    A remote desktop system will be th only way to do this. You will need a fixed IP address at home, or a subscription to dynamic dns to be able to access the machine.

    What’s a good configuration for a web development server for local network?

    Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009 and filed under web development | 3 Comments »

    We’re about to purchase a development server for our team of web developers – php and javascript programmers. We’re planning on running LAMP and Subversion. What is the best hardware (processor, memory, manufacturer) and software (flavor of linux, setup, etc.) configuration? And what’s the best way to network it to a team of 4 Windows machines?

    It really depends on your budget. "Best" hardware is, to my mind, the fastest and largest capacity you can reasonably afford. For this sort of server, I’d choose more RAM over faster processor, and fastest/biggest hard drives I could find. I’m partial to Slackware Linux, as it’s free and very stable. If you’re using Subversion, then just regular old TCP/IP should be sufficient, but you could easily configure Samba for Windows sharing if you chose to. The level of your question indicates you’re not particularly comfortable doing this yourself, so it’s probably worth your money to pay a consultant to help you make these decisions and get it all installed and running. That gives you the additional safety net of having someone available to help you out if things go sideways.

    Do you know of any Cheap Internet Services?

    Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009 and filed under Internet services | 3 Comments »

    I’m looking for a cheap Internet service provider, I live in Billings Montana. Can anyone give me a list of options? I know some services have certain requirements, so here are my limitations: I don’t own or use a television, so cable internet may not be an available option. I do not use a house phone, (I use a cell) so there may be limitations for that as well.
    Thanks.

    If you have Sky, check out their broadband. There is a free one, or you can pay about £10-£15 a month with unlimited downloads. Sky rules.

    Does anyone have any wholesale suppliers of beads for jewellery making? I hear China can be good?

    Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009 and filed under wholesale suppliers | 2 Comments »

    I want to find wholesalers or manufacturers that can provide a wide range of beads from acrylics, glass, crystal, pearls and finding at competive prices so I can create jewellery and also resell beads as kits in craft markets? I know many companies buy from china but I cannot find suppliers and dont know how to go about it to buy from China. Does anyone have any links or good suppliers?
    Any suggestions would be a great help thanks all

    There are several Chinese trading marketplaces which operate in English. For instance, you could try to subscribe to Trade Alerts (free service – e.g. here: http://cdetc.com/tradealerts.php ) – enter terms to monitor (acrylic beads or glass beads or crystal beads – you got the idea) and receive alerts when matching lead from a supplier appears. By setting up free account, you’ll be able to post your own buying leads, too.

    Those marketplaces show huge turnovers, in particular between Chinese suppliers and US buyers – so all import matters are well known, and people there are friendly and willing to help newbies – just spend some time and communicate with people.
