Previously, we were running a webhosting site called myfirehost.com, it unfortunetly had to be moved, due to a trademark issue with firehost.com. This is not all bad news however, as we have moved it and all of our customers over to a new domain, http://zemhost.com and taken extra precautions to make sure that such a thing will not happen again! So please, if you are in need of a new web-host, please check out http://zemhost.com and we promise you will not regret it!

If you have ever wondered if the person on the other end of the phone is really who it claims, well wonder no more, thanks to this new technology that can verify people’s identity based on sounds emitted by their ears. This technology is based off of the response power of the persons ear, which is different on everyone. What I mean by this is, it sends pulses into the ear, and based on the amplitude, etc of the response, it can tell whether it is the person that it claims to be.

Unfortunately, this new technology is not fully developed yet, and still has to work around basic problems, like the fact that ear wax buildup, along with many other things, will alter the amplitude of the response of the ear. Once this technology is fully develolped, however, it will have many uses, anywhere from disabling stolen cell phones, to verifying identies, as mentioned earlier.

Well, this morning, I woke up, and went straight to the computer to see what I had missed. After checking in with one of the sites I have begun visiting more and more lately, I noticed one of those threads about “Show off your internet speed”. I thought, well what the heck, I generally have one of those slow internet speeds anyway, lets make everyone pity my slowness…So I went over to http://speedtest.net and ran the test. What I saw surprised even me:

This surprised me so much, because according to my ISP, I only have 768 download and 128 download. Not only that, I have run this test before, and the result was a lot lower. so as of now, I’m not sure what caused this, but in case it was just a fluke, I decided to run it again…

Ok, so it wasn’t a fluke, but what is causing this? I’m not really sure, but this is one heck of an improvement, I just hope it sticks around, as it makes everything I have to do one heck of a lot easier
