My God, It’s Full of AVIs!

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Yesterday we went on a file storage expedition. We made the trip to Fry's Electronics and looked at hard drives. They had Maxtor 500 GB SATA hard drives for $89. We bought 2. Also, since I don't feel like using a keyboard and mouse all day, I got a ...

I Love You Elisa.

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

There is a new woman in my life and her name is Elisa. And don't worry, Corin's cool with it. In fact it's more like a polyamorous relationship. Ok, stop freaking out. I'm talking about the totally fuckin' bitchin' media center front end I installed on my media server! It's.So.Rad.Here ...

New Heights in Linux Geekdom.

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

It's old news to people that know me, but for the benefit of the new people I should mention that I'm an avid obsessive Linux user and an open source software fan zealot. I primarily use Ubuntu on my laptop and dual-boot in to Windows for Ableton Live, iPod syncing, ...

Things Have Totally Picked Up.

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

I'm no longer sick! Yay! It's a relief to be able to breath through my nose again and not feel like my head is stuffed with cotton. When I would speak with someone, all I could hear was my own voice and the person I was talking with sounded like ...

The Plague Continues.

Monday, March 17th, 2008

I'm still sick. I stayed home from work and slept all day. I've probably slept 18 hours out of the last 24. I have to go back to work tomorrow as I'm out of sick time. I slept most of the weekend, but I found time to upgrade my Ubuntu ...

Ongoing Changes.

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

One of the great things about using WordPress is that there are tons of plugins you can install to add functionality and features. Also there are 1000s of themes for WordPress and I'll be looking for the perfect theme with the features that I want and the flexibility I need ...

I Hate Being Sick.

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Over the last few days I've been feeling really odd. Not exactly bad, but sort of run down and achy. Yesterday when I woke up, I felt bad, but not bad enough to stay home from work. I worked and felt passable for the rest of the day. Today I ...

The Return of the Caveman Movie or 10,000 B.S.?

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Yesterday afternoon I attended a matinée showing of 10,000 B.C. at the local multiplex. Okay, is was the Regal theater on Westgate (maybe they'll give me some free passes). Before I go on, why do I pay at the Regal? These guys never check your ticket inside the lobby and ...

In the Beginning.

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Way back in 2002 (before I knew of such things as WordPress, Moveable Type, or Joomla) I had a hand coded blog that I rarely updated. It was ugly and cumbersome; I'm not even sure that it was hosted by a legitimate web-host. The original point of that blog was ...

Quick, Make a Saving Throw.
