Show #3 summary:

ChefTD and Jowl experience trouble installing smartFTP and discuss knowledge bases and support areas ensues. They install smartFTP on a different computer and discuss how to use login to an FTP server and drag and drop files from Windows Explorer to the smartFTP menu. Next they try and update the orting.com home page to say that the site will be coming in Winter 2005. To their surprise, the site is returning a 500 server error. In fact, no matter what file they upload (in PHP) it returns an error. They call the host of the dedicated server, Cyberwurx, and get live assistance to resolve the issue and then go through how to make the simple change on the page. Jowl and ChefTD go through a list of 10 things that could indicate your son is a hacker and they review the new Alien vs. Predator movie.
