It's a blog.

25 Jul 2007I’m downloading Fiesty Fawn (the latest version of Ubuntu), to put on my laptop when my new hard drive comes. (UPS, where are you?!) I just noticed, while on their site, Ubuntu Server. And I’m itching to play with it. I’m currently running Gentoo as my server, because I’ve come to the conclusion that, even [...]

25 Jul 2007I wanted to mention a few things I was thinking of / plan to do on the blogs, to invite comments / suggestions. The /main interface… Should be the main page. I’m hoping this will be easy to accomplish. (WP makes heavy use of mod_rewrite, something I haven’t used before.) Should truncate posts at some [...]
I believe that horoscopes are pure baloney. But I like to read mine from time to time, sort of like how I play the lottery and pick up heads-up pennies: better safe than sorry? But really, the reason is more that it ‘feels good.’ Even though I know that it’s a work of fiction, it’s [...]

24 Jul 2007Andrew posted about the Nokia 770 the other day. By chance, I stumbled across Maemo-apps today, and am suddenly even more impressed. It doesn’t do a lot my phone doesn’t, but it does have WiFi and what seems to be an awesome LCD. And it includes a PDF viewer. It might be superb for reading [...]

23 Jul 2007I’ve been reading all I could about all the Presidential candidates, and am left with a question. What does “Family Values” mean in the context of politics? The term alone is kind of vague, but in the context of politics, it makes even less sense, since they can’t possibly legislate much of what ‘family values’ [...]

23 Jul 2007Dust mites look kind of like headcrabs, which represent the scariest fictional thing I’ve ever come across. Maybe dust mites grow up to be headcrabs. *going to have nightmares*

23 Jul 2007I use “iGoogle” as my homepage. (google.com/ig). You can add widgets for all sorts of stuff. I fire up my browser and can see my most recent GMail messages, the weather, news headlines, Dictionary.com’s word of the day, quotes for some stocks I watch, etc. Now, you can have custom skins for it, too. Although [...]

22 Jul 2007So it’s no secret that I was obsessed with the iPhone from the minute I saw it in the keynote. Not like, “That’s kinda cool, if I had money to burn I might buy one” obsessed, but like, “I’ll pay the $600, pay the early termination fee with Verizon, and sign up for a 2-year [...]
Today I fired up Photoshop, and it barfed up an error about insufficient scratch space and closed. “That’s odd,” I though, having had a couple gig free the other day. I checked, and was at about 400 MB of free space. About two minutes later, I was reminded of two things: CCleaner is an absolute [...]
I guess I’m supporting Obama. He was pretty high up on my list, but I hadn’t necessarily made up my mind yet. But between marching in the parade with his campaign and attending a session with him today, I guess the choice is made. But boy, it’s the right one. I didn’t ask any questions, [...]
