I set a lot of reminders for myself on my company e-mail and I don't have a blackberry yet. I kind of want one for all the great features, but on the other hand I'm concerned with how connected that would make me and thus make me feel obligated to respond. Here's a list of e-mail addresses for some of the most popular carriers (in the US) just replace phonenumber in the addresses below with the proper phone number.

As a side note, you can also do this with a service called teleflip. It's the same thing as sending it to one of the other formats, but it adds a footer to the e-mail that says "Email on your cell - teleflip.com". I just use my SprintPCS address like above to send reminder messages to myself and it's not that hard for me to remember the one address. I can see how it would be beneficial if you wanted to send messages to multiple people though. Teleflip also has some commercial offerings on their website that do more advanced e-mail to SMS features. To use teleflip, send the e-mail to the following:

I've decided to quit posting technical posts to my frontpage. I figure that most people who land on my blog for a tech post are probably getting here from google or another search engine and will land directly on the article they are interested in. People who are more likely to visit my site on a consistent basis are friends and family. As such, I am trying to make it easier for them to enjoy the site (by simply coming to the frontpage) without having to navigate through all the techy madness that I am always posting about.

If you do read my blog for the techy posts, they will all still be here. They won't show up on the site's main front-page, but they'll still get filed to the tech category of my blog. What do you think about this change? Leave a comment and let me know!

My last goal was to make my website the top search result when you searched for 'Shiner Lyon' (at least on Google - that's all that counts right?). I have successfully overtaken the Kansas and Kentucky Wildlife Commissions and a discussion forum about fishing bait to achieve the top position. At least for now.

My new goal is to make my website the top search result when you search for 'Josh Lyon' - afterall, this website is pretty much dedicated to my thoughts, my photos, my technical discoveries, etc. Hopefully google will re-index my site and will pickup on the new changes I'll be making over the coming days.

I would mention the names of the websites I'm below, but for now I don't want to give them any type of advantage. I'm talking to you Mr. Leet Speak and Mr. Horserider.

Maybe I could put some more pictures of myself up and appropriately label them. If you have any ideas how to make my site more oriented towards me in content (like the use of my name in text, descriptors, etc.) please leave a comment.

I was getting an error with my RSS Syndication component after I moved my site over to the new server. The error message I was getting was:
