The internet is getting faster and Google is running with it. I read a post by Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google today about making the internet faster and their part in it. Google plans ot bring ultra-high-speed broadband to a city in USA. You can vote here if you want your city to be the one chosen. It’s pretty cool…also check out the governments website about Broadband here.

It’s crazy to think that the .com TLD (top level domain) has turned 25! Yesterday, March 15, 2010 was the 25th anniversary of the first .com being registered. Symbolics computers of Cambridge, Massachusetts entered the history books with an internet address ending in .com (however, on 27 August 2009, it was sold to XF.com Investments). Pretty crazy, it feels like the internet has been around much longer than it actually has…to see things like the .com’s 25th anniversary really gives you scope on just how new this form of communication is.

Do you remember when aol first came out? I do. It’s incredible how fast time flies by.  I was curious on what the oldest domains are so I found this post. Check it out. Crazzzzzzzzzzzy.

If you’re like me and you use Joomla a lot I am sure there have been times where you just needed to see the module positions and didn’t have a reference or documentation for that particular theme. Whether your developer was lazy or you bought the template, either way, I will show you a short cut. It’s actually very helpful.

Directions to View Module Positions in Joomla 1.5 AND Joomla 1.0:

1. Go to the URL where the site is live. (i.e. http://www.rehab-programs.org)
2. Append ?tp=2 to the URL. This will work for any page. (i.e. http://www.rehab-programs.org?tp=2)
3. If that doesn’t work, then try to append ?tp=1.

Done. Thought there would be more to this, huh? Well, there isn’t. You should see something like the image below after you append the ?tp=2.
