A $173.40 Toothbrush and More Server Shenanigans!

I went to the dentist today for the first time in over 3 years. I know, and I’m a bad flosser too. Since I don’t have dental insurance, the cost for the cleaning and x-rays was $173.40 which included a complimentary toothbrush. Why the toothbrush? Why not just knock $100 off my total bill? I would like that much more than a red toothbrush and some floss.

Server Update!

In my post Ch-ch-changes! I spoke about getting WordPress to run on IIS 7, Vista, etc. It was a huge pain. 2 days ago I had a genius idea that I was surprised I hadn’t thought of before. What prompted it was an article on Engadget about a tiny linux computer that would fit in a wall wart – TINY! It has a relatively powerful ARM processor (usually used in cell phones) with 512 MB RAM and 512 MB onboard flash memory. The first thing I thought about that was: LAMP server! I have to wait until the price drops to $50 to see if it will work.
