This product really works. If your cat is scratching up furniture or rugs you need to buy this product. They sell them at both Petsmart and Petco. However I have had better luck buying the refills at Petsmart in Huntersville, NC. First determine if you cat is a horizontal or vertical scratcher. Basically if you cat is scratching furniture he/she is a vertical scratcher and you will want to hang the iScratch from a door knob. If he/she is scratching a rug then its a horizontal scratcher and all you need to do is buy the iScratcher and place it on the floor. The product and refills also come with catnip that you place in the cardboard. I recommend the cardboard fills it makes your cat think its bark from a tree.

Are you looking for a new position/job but are having difficulties getting the interview?

Well let me tell you I have been dealing with a lot of different contracting companies and they say they have positions but wheres the interview? I am hear to tell you that the positions that they have are not even approved. Why are they advertising a position then you ask? Well I also found out that they will reach out to their contact and if that contact tells them well I should have a position coming in a couple of months they will start getting the details and posting for it even when the position has not been approved and right now I would say for the financial institutions most of those position are getting denied.

Free Software -- Is it Worth It? Yes!!!
Do you find yourself needed Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but do not want to spend the money for it? Is there a substitute and will I be able to open my current word documents. The answers are all yes!! What about anti virus? Or pc cleaning software? Yes and yes.

The OpenOffice Suite located at http://www.openoffice.org/ is free and is a substitute to Office. Will there be growing pains. Sure like any new product or version there will be some glitches or annoyances. Most of these will be due to the fact you are a newbie with the product. I give this free suite 5 stars.

Updating PHP to version 5.2 on CentOS

To install PHP 5.2.5 (Highest in repository at this time) you can make use of a RPM repository maintained by Remi. He has a repository for each distro, but to save you translating for the ES5 one I’ll give you the commands here. Run the following to get up and running:

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...5-2.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.i3...emi.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm

You now have the Remi repository on your system, however it is disabled by default. Obviously you don’t want all of your packages been effected by this repository, however to enable it for a specific package, run the following:

yum --enablerepo=remi update php

If you were like me I have been looking at throwing steel-tip darts in the Charlotte area and had trouble locating places to play with some competition. I had been throwing darts since Dec. 2007 at the Flying Saucer in the university area. They have two dart boards but the format is just challenge the board, nothing formal.

Okay enough about that let talk about the formal places.

Its all-in-one approach to collaboration is winning over companies. But that can cause its own problems.

To maintain its developer ecosystem and protect its apps business, Microsoft has no choice but to loosen its grip on the Windows source code and drive down costs.

Logitech Harmony 550 Universal Remote

This remote is awesome. I received it for Xmas and this is the easiest remote ever. You connect the remote to your pc and it downloads the codes from your TV, VCR, DVD, Satellite, and A/V Receiver. Now when I want to watch TV I press the TV button and only what needs to come on turns on. Awesome remote.
