So, for some reason I can’t get any of my physicians to set up a web presence. I mean they won’t even get a Facebook or Myspace page.

Dr. Scott Mabee is a great doctor. He has helped isolate some conditions in my wife and me that other doctors missed. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor.

Here is all of his information, including phone number, if you need to contact Dr. Scott Mabee.

Dr. Scott Mabee MD

Internal Medicine Physician – Akron, Ohio

3624 W Market St
Fairlawn Internal Medicine
Suite 103
Akron, OH 44333

Office phone number: 330-665-9800

I wanted to point to a new site I’ve been working on.

It’s for a friend of mine: Dr. David Barsan. He’s a dentist with offices in Fairlawn and Cuyahoga Falls.

He is a genuinely nice guy and sincerely cares about his patients. If you are in the market for a new dentist, check out Dr. Barsan. He is impressive. You can learn more about him here:

The Path Of Success Is Paved With Failure

I hadn’t backed up my little eee pc in a while and, consequently, forgot how I did it.

Here’s my reminder…

I go to the File Manager, and select “Tools: Mount Network Share”

\\FREENAS\WesternDigital500GB and mount it to:
/home/usr/FreenasShare

(sometimes I can’t connect to the network in ‘desktop mode’. I have better luck in ‘easy mode’. Then I can go back to ‘desktop mode’.)

Then I open up a Terminal window (ctr alt T in Basic view) and type;
sudo ./rsync-local.sh

That runs a script I have that rysync’s to the network share I just mounted.

I was rereading this post:

Xbox 360 infocus X1, how to get HDTV [Text View] – AVS Forum

I am trying these settings for movies:

Contrast 65
Brightness 45
R 74
G 77
B 74

I think I likie.

This is a crowning day of glory for me. This is the first picture I have ever had of me and a major political figure.
Thanks Joe!

You can see all of the pictures I took at the event here.

For the life of me, I couldn’t get files to transfer from an XP laptop to a FreeNas samba server.

This was why:

rsync Linux Commands: Remote file copy (Synchronize file trees)

a trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to transfer all files from the directory src/bar on the machine foo into the /data/tmp/. A trailing / on a source name means “copy the contents of this directory”. Without a trailing slash it means “copy the directory”. This difference becomes particularly important when using the –delete option.

I had this:
C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe –verbose –progress –stats –recursive –exclude-from=”/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rockyl/My Documents/rsync-exclude.txt” “/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rockyl/My Documents” “/cygdrive/s/personalbackups/rocky/My Documents/”

When I needed this:
C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe –verbose  –progress –stats –recursive –exclude-from=”/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rockyl/My Documents/rsync-exclude.txt”  “/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rockyl/My Documents/” “/cygdrive/s/personalbackups/rocky/My Documents/”

Do you see that trailing slash I missed? That caused me to only backup directories and not the files within the directories.

This is a post specifically for people who attended my Community class at Small Business Marketing Unleashed in Columbus Ohio.

But if you haven’t come to the class, you might find this useful too.

Here are my tips for getting involved in online communities.

1. You have to participate to make it a success.
   1. You can’t just setup a community and sit back and wait for people to show up.
   2. You need to go to other communities and participate.
2. Pick one or two initiatives.
   1. Doing too much will make you lose focus.
   2. Pick things that look fun to you. Otherwise, you won’t do any of them.
3. Make goals.
   1. Setting a number of subscribers you would like is often a good goal for communities.
   2. Set a time frame to accomplish the goals.
   3. Especially initially, be conservative. Getting comfortable with your new community will take some time.

Here are some community building bookmarks that you might find useful.

“What’s publishing all about?” he once asked. “If it isn’t about what you like and believe in, you might as well manufacture sausages.”

First, if you have never checked out Rocky’s blog, I highly recommend it. It’s the way you always wanted your blogs to be written. It’s concise, funny and clever.

But she is in search of her favorite pediatrician, Dr. Paula Sabella, MD. She has a post about it here:

Vicarious Rocky: Dear Dr. Paula Sabella, MD

Dr. Sabella, if you are out there, please consider getting a little Web presence so we know where you are. You could maybe get a business page at:

Facebook | Facebook Pages

Or if you would like a really nice comprehensive online solution, I recommend:

Google Apps

If you need help feel free to email or comment on my or Rocky’s blog. We’ll help get you on your way.

Take care!
