If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Through a series of events and circumstances that I am not going to pretend to understand, I was contacted by Rena requesting an interview with moi… she specifically wanted to interview me about my experiences and involvement with Blogcatalog.

As you may be aware, Walmart sells PC’s with Linux as the operating system through their online store. The specific distro is called gOS, or Good OS. When I first heard of this, I didn’t think much of it, expecting that they would just use one of the many fine Linux distributions available. Then I […]

As I mentioned a little while ago, the wife and I are on a smoking reduction plan. So far, we are more or less on track, having reduced our habit to one every hour and a half, a huge improvement. Our end goal is to be completely quit by the end of summer, which is […]

The deed is done, and Wordpress is upgraded to version 2.5. All in all, it was mostly painless, though there seems to be an issue with the plugin upgrade script, as a couple of my plugins vanished after the one click plugin upgrade.

The vast majority of my stories are short, and written for an audience of one, namely my wife (she likes that kind of thing). Now, at her suggestion, I […]

It’s been a little while since I last posted, but it’s ok, I have an excuse. It even comes with a Doctor’s note and everything. In case you haven’t guessed already, I have been sick with this mean little bug that’s making the rounds. The interesting thing about this little beggar is that, at least […]

There are a couple of upgrades happening this week that I wanted to let you know about. First, and most exciting, is Netvibes Ginger is getting released to the public! Yes, that means you! Even if you’re not an existing Netvibes user, starting tomorrow, you will be able to get your very own Netvibes profile! […]

WARNING! The following is a late hour rant, and might not be worth the time it took to write. You have been warned. 
It’s late, I’m tired, and there, sitting in my inbox is another bloody email, marked “Urgent!” Not really thinking about what I’m doing, I click it up. Sure enough, there’s the pitch: “urgent”, […]
