This is over a decade old, but I just discovered it.
‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa’s a wreck…
How to live in a world that’s politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to “Elves”,
“Vertically Challenged” they were calling themselves.
And labor conditions at the North Pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had [...]

Ever since I last wrote about Opera and Chrome, some things have changed about my browsing habits. On Windows, I’ve gone from always using Flock to always using Opera. I just found out that Flock finally released version 2.0 because I wanted to check up on my facts before looking like a dork [...]

So, Wordpress 2.7 is finally here. It’s their second visual refresh in a year and I have to say they have really outdone themselves. When they did the last change, I thought “wow, there’s no way they could improve on this.” and “I thought their old interface was good, but this makes it look like [...]

Somewhere in the middle of 2008 my wife’s computer kept making very disturbing noises upon boot up. She had told me she would move to Linux when her current computer broke. So I bought her a new computer and loaded Kubuntu on it because she wanted “the version that looks like Windows”. [...]

My site got pounded today like a beach on a windy day when I appeared on Linux Today. So I decided to install WP Super Cache. This should display cached pages to anyone who isn’t commenting so hopefully it will help my site deal with a lot more traffic. The traffic was so bad I [...]

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I went to see Mike Burbiglia on his Broadway show “Sleepwalk with Me”. I wasn’t going to blog about it originally, but during the performance he mentioned that he gets Google alerts about himself. He used to Google himself, but then he set it up to get Google to do it [...]

About a month ago my wife asked me to get rid of the extra POS Linux and BSD computers I was using for my renderfarm. They quite a bit of an eyesore and so I agreed. Unfortunately, in the the group of computers I got rid of was my first ever Linux computer. It ran [...]

If you use Fedora and you want to be able to do useful things like play MP3s or DVDs you need to add an external repository like FreshRPMs or Livna. This is because MP3 playback is covered by patents in the United States, libdecss may be illegal to distribute, and a license agreement is required [...]

Recently Microsoft screwed themselves over. We have MS Money 2006 from back when I was still getting into Linux and hadn’t convinced my wife completely about how much better it was than Windows. Recently we switched to back to a credit card where we previously used to download the transactions from within MS Money. When [...]

As I mentioned in my post Micro-blogging: One Month Later, I hadn’t really used Pownce much at all. Even now, 4 months later, I haven’t touched it. In fact, ever since that post in August, I only used it once to transfer a file to my brother. I thought there wasn’t much room on the [...]

This week was my last week with cable television. I’ve had it since I was around 12 years old or so. Now I’ve been on my own for a few years now and I noticed two things. One, I don’t watch much cable television. Just a few programs here and there. Two, it’s pretty expensive! [...]

Windows Antivirus product Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 is blocking access to Google.com. What’s so insidious about google? Do they know something we don’t? I discovered this problem when my wife wanted to get on Google. I then spent the next 15 or so minutes trying to figure out what was going on. Found someone in [...]
