Tech Schtuff...

Looking to create a simple personal web site.
Not Facebook >:(
I used to have Geocities way back when. Now I'm at Yahoo. They
don't offer anything that I can tell.
Any free, simple hosting sites out there for this kind of stuff?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is just for the creation or if Google
actually hosts it for you.

I will check that out.
Now, another problem.
A little history: I can listen to music in my car from a USB
memory stick. I simply drag the files I’ve ripped to my computer
from there to the stick.
When I put it in the car, some folders show up, other folders do
not. Looking into it further, the car only accepts MP3 and WMA.
I believe it’s not seeing the .WAV files. Looking at the files,
some are ripped wma, some mp3, some wav. How or why they are
different… I don’t know. I always did it the same way with
Window’s media player.
Anyway, I think it’s a matter of getting the right file and all
of them the same. Is there an easy way to take those files on my
computer and convert them to mp3?

So figured out the above problem with my music files. They need
to be in an mp3 format. For some reason, files got recorded
differently.
Anyway, the iTunes tool easily handled conversion. Converted and
then loaded them to the stick and all is good. I just need to
figure out the iTunes options and capabilities now. The
organization of my files are all over the place.

Mac, you're going about this all wrong. Personally, I play vinyl
in my car. Only problem is that I have to drive really slow and
avoid pot holes on the roads. No file conversions whatsoever.
;D

Anybody knows, taping a quarter over the needle on the arm will
solve the jumping about problem.
Now... you can speed back up.

[glow=red,2,300]Band Web Site[/glow]
Question for you internet geeks.
My band has still been tossing around idea’s for a name. Just
when we think we have a cool unique name, bam, some band has
done it. This is discovered by just a quick cursory google
check.
Well, we think we have come up with a name that a band has not
grabbed onto… yet. I did a check and came up with a butt load of
hits, but no band names or sites.
I can type in the address line, variations of what I presumed
site would be to check. Sometimes I see various iterations.
Other times it comes up blank.
My question is, what more can I do to validate we have something
we can take ownership too. Is there a website to check domain
names? Or do we have to wait to apply (go daddy) to find out?
Also, the best situation for us is to have our bandname.com, but
that is taken by a graphic web site that just uses it for a
splash page. I guess we could contact him to negotiate
something. Otherwise come up a variation? Bandname.net?
Thoughts?

Honestly, I think your best bet would be to contact the office
that deals strictly with Trademarking a name. But this can run
into big money should you move forward. They may offer you
alternatives to what you can try before filing with them and
dishing out cash. Keep in mind, just because you get the name
you want on "GoDaddy" or any other website, that won't keep
anyone else from laying claim to your name. It has to be
official, i.e. legal which cost money. So if you just do it that
way with getting a website, don't be surprise if someone else
stumbles across your name and then discovers it hasn't been
trademarked yet and decides to do it themselves officially and
reap the rewards from it.
