Some interesting things that happened completely by random (completely by prime?)  – most, if not all, of my panormas ended up in here.  Also, I have [...]

So I did a test and found that as long as I save the metadata to the file, Adobe Bridge (even with CS2) can correctly read the changes.  So I decided to work in Lightroom to see if it was worth buying.  I can say that I am really loving it!  I’ve been able to [...]

Here are some great quotes I’ve heard/read recently:
“It’s like asking for a rollercoaster when you want wasabi” – C.P.
Eric: “So what was your role in the musical?”
CP: “I never had a role”
MK: “Oh, you were mailbox #2″
“Antonio Banderas should not be doing bee commercials” – MK on Nasonex
“They’ve declared a jihad on clothes” – [...]

A lot of people have been warning that rules/laws that everyone considers stupid are a very dangerous thing.  Essentially, what happens when every single person you know is a “criminal”?  It begins to create a sense that rules are pointless and if everyone’s disobeying this rule, why not disobey that one and so on.  These [...]

A few days ago it was announced that the Ubuntu release after Jaunty Jackalope will be known as Karmic Koala.  The funny thing is that a few months ago my friends and I were racking our brains for a K adjective and all we could come up with was Keen.  I was sure it would [...]

(ed note:  I actually ended up reviewing Crunch Bang Linux 8.10.02 due to a problem with my 8.10 disc)
I discovered Crunch Bang Linux (#!) through Linux Outlaws.  Fab kept talking about how awesome it was.  Then more and more podcasts and people on the tubes started talking about it.  So I wrote to Linux Format [...]

I already tried installing Gentoo.  Twice.  The other Linux distro for the hardcore, for whom the Ubuntus and the Fedoras is too easy, is Slackware.  Slackware is, of course, the oldest surviving Linux distro.  I’ve already reviewed some distros based off of Slackware such as Zenwalk and Slax.  Along the way I’ve come to [...]

There’ve been a lot of people recently on the MythTv mailing list talking about Boxee as a convenient way to was content on Hulu.  However, the Boxee developers have blogged that Hulu has nixed that idea.  (And here’s Hulu’s side of the story)  I read a bunch of comments as well as both of those [...]

After reading through LXF, I tried loading openSuse 11.1 with the failsafe settings and it worked in VirtualBox.  So I’ll now be reviewing openSuse 11.1.  Here’s the screen as it booted up.

and after it loads up, it gives a nice explanatory screen.

So I last looked at openSuse 11.0 in Aug 2008.  I’m not sure exactly [...]

The latest LXF magazine arrived with Linux Mint 6, Slackware 12.2, and openSuse 11.1.  I was originally going to review openSuse, but I have been unable to successfully boot either into VirtualBox or just by booting my computer and running it as a LiveDVD.  (ed. note:  I just checked the magazine and they suggested booting [...]

This month’s Linux Format Magazine includes Fedora 10.  I upgraded to Fedora 10 a few months ago via a yum upgrade.  I started by looking at Xfce as I’ve been using Xfce non-stop ever since starting “I’m Not Mad” in November.  Xfce is much lighter than Gnome and I’m able to use Blender more effectively.  [...]
