Google Package Tracking

Read the full article on Google Package Tracking

Google package tracking is a great way to find out where your package is in a heart beat.  It's always a pain for me to have to go to the FedEx, UPS, or the USPS website and navigate my way through a bunch of pages just to get to the part where I can track my package.  It's especially a pain if you are on a slow internet connection.  Thanks to Google you can [...]

Thoughts of a Simple Man

A friend of mine decided he wanted some more flexibility with his blog and in order to help him out I decided to allow him to grab a subdomain off of TekShot5.com.  Simply put "Thoughts" as I refer to it is:

"Biblical commentary and practical analysis of the bible and its principles in a way that contemporary readers can understand."

Thoughts is a Christian blog site.  So when you get a chance, please hop on over to The Thoughts of a Simple Man and check it out!  The writing is superb and it never hurts to get right with God!

TekShot5.com is proud to have "Thoughts" as part of the team!

I originally was confronted with HostGator verification department while signing up for hosting services with this domain. Upon signing up for service, I was immediately flagged because my IP address was coming from what they call a data center [...]

Remove EXIF Data

Read more at Remove Exif Data

Just recently a hacker by the name of Higinio Ochoa was taken down by the FBI after he posted a picture of his girlfriend’s boobs on twitter.  This picture had a sign directing the viewers to a website where all the information he stole from various law enforcement agencies could be found.  The picture, as generic as it is, is what gave the FBI just the right amount of information they needed to arrest Ochoa.  Something known as EXIF data made all this possible [...]

To read the full article on What is Spokeo be sure to click the link.

“I just received a link for a crazy website. A friend emailed it to me saying that the website has all the personal info on her family and that maybe I should check it out to make sure I am not on the site. Well, I checked it out and although it didn’t show mine, it listed many names addresses, birthdays, even showing a picture of the houses my friends lived in. [...]
