1280×800 Console Framebuffer in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I finally figured out how to fix the 1280x400 framebuffer issue I had. Once upon a time I had fixed this, but I needed to fix it again after the upgrade. This is allows me to have terminals (ctrl+alt+F1-F6) that display at a full 1280x800. I like to keep a ...

My Hardy Heron Experience.

Monday, April 28th, 2008

The dust has finally settled and I have everything exactly the way I like it. I'm very picky about my Linux setup and I have my preferences for various apps. Ubuntu gives you passable default apps in the default install, but I'm a creature of habit and I like to ...

1080p (No I Didn’t Buy a TV).

Friday, April 25th, 2008

My co-worker and I were talking about making music. I found out that he's an MC and from what I can tell a pretty good one. I told him about my electronic music production past and he said he was interested in some beats. So I sent him some of ...

Finally Upgrading to Hardy Heron.

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Today is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron release day. As I type, I'm in the process of upgrading. For those that don't know, Ubuntu is the Linux distribution I use and unlike MS Windows, Ubuntu releases a full operating system update every 6 months. Each update gets a version number based ...

Future Proofing Your Digital Music.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

No one will argue that the MP3 audio compression codec has changed the world. It makes it possible for us to fit 1000s of songs in our pockets and eases the bandwidth impact of streaming audio. But is this it? Is MP3 the end? Of course not. Dozens of similar ...

The Nintendo DS Time Sink.

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

A while back I mentioned getting a Nintendo DS. In general, I love video games but I'm pretty fucking picky when it comes to video games that I actually like. Well since I made that post, I've bought a DS and a bunch of cartridges. Corin was so envious that ...

Music to Go.

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

So I slept on it and I decided that until I get settled on a podcast, I will be syndicating any music I make. So later today I'll see if there is anything I can put up. Thanks for reading!

The First Podcast Test.

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I put together a tiny audio file using a shitty mic I dug up out of the closet. It's not anything you really need to hear. I just needed a file to test the podPress plugin. Hopefully this works. You should be able to just add the RSS feed to your ...

DeathbyDVD.com is Go.

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

I finally launched my dvd review site today. For those that I haven't told it's called DeathbyDVD.com and on it Corin and I review movies that are old, obscure, or overlooked. The first post tells the whole story. The layout is pretty default right now, but that isn't a big ...

It’s Time for an Update.

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Things have been pretty busy at work. I find that by the time I get home I'm exhausted and any creative plans that I may have had during the day go right out the window. Maybe I need more sleep or something, but I hope to change all that. I ...
