After a short, and I mean very short, 9 months with introPLAY, I have taken a new job that gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. I am now working for Guru Labs as a Linux instructor. What does this mean? It means that I will be traveling the country teaching Linux courses to all [...]
Sitting in the crowd listening to our two keynotes for the Utah Open Source Conference, Matt Asay and Bruce Perens. The conference has kicked off, and looking good. Looking forward to presenting myself on Saturday.
I pulled up my Google Reader tonight to catch up on all my latest feeds, and low and behold, I notice two things right out the gate: Yes, that’s right. Search, for the first feature (welcome to the ’90s Google) and it can count past 100 (again, welcome to the ’90s). It’s about freaking time!
Freenode has passed 40,000 users as of Aug 28th. This is great news. I remember joining the network around early 2001, coming on and off at various times with help of all sorts for me running Linux. Back then, I believe the numbers were around 5,000 or so. So, to see a 8 times the [...]
An old laptop friend Of such a companionship. Goodbye Hercules
With my post about my home network, and the Greek play that I conduct with the computers, a lot of comments came in about what others use to name the host devices on their network. I’d like to share those, as not everyone reads blog comments. Here they are: D&D 3.5 classes Dragons Astronomy phenomena [...]

I thought I’d blog this, just for the crap of it. Blog Stats There are currently 313 posts and 1,337 comments, contained within 32 categories. Heh. “1337″ comments. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I saw these really cool videos over at DVZine and I had to share. These two videos (flash required) are promotional motion pictures written and filmed by August Dvorak, inventor of the Dvorak Simpilifed Keyboard. I’m guessing that these two videos were filmed in the 1940′s. There is no sound. For those who still prefer [...]
It gets a bit overwhelming when you’re in more channels than you have default key bindings to change windows for in Irssi- which is only 19. So what happens when you create key bindings on your keyboard for windows 20 through 40, and you now have a window 41? That was exactly the problem I [...]
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 a broad [...]
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 doesn’t bother me [...]
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 States Constitution [...]
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 know many [...]
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 [...]
