Linux System Administration LiveLessons By Ben Whaley (Pearson)

http://www.informit.com/store/linux-system-administration-livelessons-video-training-9780133551310 Wow, where do I even start. This is a LOT of material and really, my first review of a lengthy video (series). The series consists of 9 downloadable .mov files which total up to approximately 1.3Gb of space and around 350 minutes of video, or about 5.5 hours according to my video players calculations. […]

Plex Media Server – Issues

Dang.. Some days it’s hard to find what I need on the net. Now I could have SWORN that some time ago I had not only mentioned on my blog that I was a complete Plex Media Server fan, but that I have been running it forever and have only had 1 issue with it. […]

Boo

OK, so it’s October and once again there is an onslaught of spooky movies and ghost hunting shows all over the digital media outlets. Although I have LONG been a fan of such things, I have a few questions to pose to the ghost hunters out there. Leave it to me to go interjecting logic […]

Roku 2 XD

Long have I wanted to have a device that would easily tie my Netflix subscription and other streaming internet media to my tv. I have tried lots of nice things, but they all left me wanting something more, that is, until I got a Roku. I picked up a Roku 2 XD at BestBuy for […]

Where no one has gone before…

I just got back from a special premier showing of the new Star Trek movie, due in theaters early next month. What can I tell you about it that won’t spoil it? Well, the audience cheered in unison at the end of the show. I really enjoyed it, and if you like Star Trek, and […]

Reading Lately

A couple weeks ago, Dann was saying how he was reading the Watchmen, and remarking on how good it was. Well, I hadn’t EVER read a graphic novel, or even touched a comic since I was maybe 10, so I decided to pick it up to see what I was missing. Well, I am finished […]

Behind the times

Ok, so I am a little behind the times. I *FINALLY*, just yesterday had the opportunity to watch the new Willy Wonka movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Wow! They took a wonderfully eccentric, yet warm Willy Wonka character, best played by the brilliant Gene Wilder and made him into a somewhat creepy, dysfunctional psychopath […]

Expelled

I went with my daughter to see Expelled tonight. I have to say that I think it was fantastic. Now, it’s no secret that I am a Christian, so I don’t want this to sound biased in that matter. This movie is not about any sort of religious debate. The basis of this movie is […]

About stinkin time.

I decided to take my wife out to the movies this weekend. We went out to see the movie “The Mist”. I have to say, it’s about time. The movie has been billed as “old school horror” and, perhaps, that’s exactly what I have been waiting for for so long. A really good old school […]

More than meets the eye

Yes, I was part of the unwashed masses that went out on opening night to see the Transformers. All I have to say is “wow”. Fantastic movie. Superb special effects. This was even great for the younger audience that hasn’t seen the original stuff. In fact, I took my daughter, who is 13. 3/4 through […]
