Freenode offers a couple wonderful services to any IRC user that I’m afraid many just know about. They outline it very well on their website, but I’m afraid that many an IRC user aren’t taking advantage of them. As such, seeing as though my blog syndicates a couple planets, hopefully I will reach [...]
I spend my irc time in the single greatest IRC client around- irssi. Coupled with screen, IRC is a whole new world. There are those who connect and disconnect constantly, coming in for a question or to chat, spending a little time in the channels of their choice, then leaving. While this [...]
July 4th, 1776 marked the severance from Great Britain and announcing that the 13 colonies were now independent of the crown. The Declaration of Independence was the document that announced our freedom and is one of the founding documents of this great nation. Other founding documents include the Articles of Confederation, the United [...]
Starting today, you’ll have more bandwidth opened up on your phone lines as I will no longer be a paying customer. You see, I’ve saved a bunch of money on my phone service by switching to Vonage. You just aren’t providing the “Spirit of Service” that you seem to advertise so well. [...]
I opened up my feed reader not just 20 minutes ago, and what was the big topic that has hit the tubes? The Apple iPhone is going to be released June 29th.
Rather than me going into lots of reasons why Apple, and their fans, should focus on their Macintosh computers, and the fact, that [...]
After reading Nick’s post about Scoble and the RSS Feeds that he reads, I thought I would throw yet another hat in for RSS and what I’ve finally settled on.
In my last post, I published the feeds that I read and the reader that I was using to read my feeds, namely Bloglines. Well, [...]
If you guessed 1024, you’re wrong. I was just asked this question not 20 minutes ago, and I choked, when the answer was in my hands, quite literally.
I’ve blogged about this before, but counting in binary is easy, just using your fingers. So, when asked that question, the calculator that you think [...]
I’ve blogged about GNU screen on many an occasion. I’m not going to go into the technical reasons why I use it, but rather, the personal.
First off, I am in love with the terminal. I am of the opinion that if you want to get into Linux, regardless of your operating system, you [...]
Well, this is an exciting time for me right now. introPLAY, the startup company that I just hired on with, has officially released their product, the newest, and in my opinion, best sports and fitness site on the web.
What is introPLAY?
introPLAY is an exercise tracking site. With introPLAY, you enter your workout from [...]
Vim is my beloved editor of choice. Not because I am opinionated about Vi versus Emacs, but because vi was the editor that I picked up, and I have been using it since. I would probably come to enjoy Emacs as well, if I were to take the time to use it.
Anyway, I [...]
There are a few things that really get under my skin on IRC. I’d like to share those with you. I’m going to be quick and to the point. I write this for those who have never logged in or have spent less than 100 hours in IRC.
Don’t ask to ask- This [...]
Ok, a bit ago, I was looking for some RSS feeds. I was hoping that I would come across some real good feeds from those on a couple planets. I was in the hunt for tech/geek/Linux/FLOSS feeds. I found a few, and I’m happy with the results thus far, even though, I’m [...]
I just received an email from a concerned reader about the theme of my blog. With the utmost respect, I am posting the body of the email text here, then the justification of why I chose an overall dark theme for my blog. I am not posting this to embarrass the person [...]
What happened to the good old days, when you could walk into a retail store, make a purchase and walk out? Maybe you had a salesman or associate try to sell you and extended service plan, or talk you up to the next best model. Maybe you had to haggle on occasion. [...]
Well, I just got my Das Keyboard (delivered about a week ago), and I’ve been typing on it non-stop since. I feel I owe my readers a review, just in case they are looking at getting one themselves.
First, when I pulled it out of the box, I couldn’t get past the size. This [...]
