Alexis Cameron: A Friend Is Lost :(

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 02:37:05 +0000

I only learned today that a good friend passed away in 2006 after a long battle with MS. I loved her, and dearly miss her.

Alexis (Wadsworth) Cameron

CAMERON, ALEXIS (Wadsworth) (Age 54)ALEXIS CAMERON (Wadsworth), died in the early morning hours of March 13, 2006, at VA Hospital Center after struggling with the insidious disease of multiple sclerosis for over 25 years.

Alexis was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital, and spent the majority of her childhood years in Bethesda, MD, graduating from Walt Whitman High School in 1969. Ms. Cameron then attended the Maryland School of Art and Design for one year, before deciding to pursue a career with computers.

Alexis was working as a Computer Analyst in Washington, DC, when she was stricken with multiple sclerosis.

Ms. Cameron lived with assistance until the MS had progressed to the point where she entered Cherrydale Nursing Home in Arlington, VA, four years ago.

The family would like to thank all the exceptional staff at Cherrydale Nursing Home, especially Director of Social Services Mrs. Faith Edwards, and Nursing Assistant Xanda, for the excellent professional and personal care that Alexis received there.

Ms. Cameron’s personal physicians, Dr. Boland and Dr. Beselga, were extremely caring and professional for many years.

The staff at VA Hospital Center were high quality and nurses Melanie and Connie in the ICU in particular, provided the human touch and dignity that helped Alexis to the end.

Alexis Cameron was extremely intelligent, a computer whiz, and a very talented artist as well. Few could have walked a mile in her shoes, and done as well.

Alexis Cameron touched all that knew her and she will be sorely missed.

Ms. Cameron is survived by her brother Alex (Sandy) Wadsworth; and nephew Matt Wadsworth; cousins Bill Heasley, Sandra Pierce, Betty Pearson, Russell Parks, Jr. and Joan Wilt; and aunts Dorothy Heasley and Ruby Parks; and Duke and Carolyn Peacher. Services are private. Please make any contributions to your local chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Sprint Simply [Not Quite] Everything Cellular Plan

admin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:31:43 +0000

It all started with an $800 cell phone bill! $800! Arghghghghghg!!! So I called Sprint, switch my plan, made some payments, and the very next month it was back up to $800!!! Those bastards! Yes, more overages, plus due to where and how I was working for the month, I was using call-forwarding, and crap, who knew that they always charge $.20/minute when using call forwarding!?!?! What a rip-off!!!

Okay, so I switch to the “Simply Everything” plan, and was told that I would have everything I used to have, but now I’d have unlimited minutes, and I’d never have to worry about my phone bill freaking out again.

All was cool until I got on the train today, and that’s when I found out… No longer would I have the “phone as modem” option, and so for 10 hours on the train, if I wanted the ‘net, I’d have to surf it through the phone itself!

Crapola!

Hahaha! Screw you, Sprint, I found a cool program that makes it work anyways!

It’s called WMWiFiRouter, and you can find it at WMWiFiRouter.Com — it can use the USB or WiFi connections to make it all work, but it does seem to be pounding my phones battery.

I’ll post again later once I have a little more experience with it!

This was the second year of the annual TechFest, and South University participated both years with Information Technology submissions from two students.

This year we took photos of the crowd and submissions, and posted them to our gallery. Check them out!

As a student of Information Technology at South University I have collected many pieces of documentation, software, and other works that I will post here. South University is excellent, and I recommend them highly. To learn more, please click the graphic below!

Welcome, Fellow Capstone Students!

Thank you for visiting my blog — feel free to look around, I’ve got lots and lots of technical articles referenced here that I use to help keep track of resources that I use regularly, and some others which simply sparked my interest enough to want to refer back to at a later date.

A little about me…

I am an Information Technology major at South, and expect to complete my degree in just a few more quarters. My second quarter into my studies, back in 2004, my employer let me go, so I formed my own company, Coastal Data Enterprises, Inc., to provide technical services to a select few customers in the Group Travel industry.Â

IT is a way of life for me. My Dad bought “Pong”, by Atari, when I was 6, and I was hooked. In high school, we had a lab of TRS80 Model III’s, with a simple network so that we could share a dot matrix printer, and a 5 1/4″ floppy. We really thought we were cool!

I graduated from high school in 1985, but didn’t get my first real computer job until 1994, when I first got started at Serif, Inc. I learned a lot at Serif, and moved up in the company swiftly due to openings in the company.

When I left Serif, I did a small stint on my own, but after a time I decided to take a job with my then biggest competitor, NH.com. I couldn’t have made a better decision because of the access that I was given to very qualified, professional people who really made a difference in my life. They believed in me, they encouraged me, and I owe them a debt of gratitude!

I left NH.com, and NH, to come to Savannah, Georgia, in 2001. Most of the time that I’ve been here, I’ve been self-employed in one way or another, but I did spend about a year and a half as a full time tech support representative for Systems Connect.

I generally like what I do with IT, although I currently seek another way approach the infusion of value into the data market in a way that matches my advanced skills and experience. The entire focus of my business probably depends on what I decide to do in the next few weeks, so this should be a very interesting quarter, indeed!
