On Rotation?

All the time I see people showing their current rotation. Well, here’s mine. In the front you see a black Vapor4Life V4L Handle. This is a great variable voltage mod that I wish I could use more but I broke the bottom of the battery door. I am going to re-home the innards into something […]

Hey! Wait a Mint-it…

I spent an entire night in frustration with this so if anyone has any ideas, I am all ears. I upgraded my Linux install from Mint 13 (yes I know – old) to a fresh v15. After a couple hours the lappy locks up hard, and I mean hard. Video still running but nothing else […]

Adventures in Virtualization

A long long time ago, I virtualized all my home infrastructure onto an ESXi 4.0 server. It has run perfectly fine, minus one hard drive failure, for quite a few years. Lately, though, I had been wanting to upgrade it because it’s not terribly fast and I have run out of resources to be able […]

Happy Father’s Day!

I was, I think, 7 years old when this strange furry creature married my mother. I remember being really excited at the time, because my mom was so happy, and I remember being kind of scared about what would happen to me. I had never had a dad up to that point, so you can […]

Helping Kids

I grew up in a town of 2000 people in Upstate NY called Laurens. There are currently approximately 350 students enrolled K-12 in my old school and they are desperately trying to win a chance to sing with Foreigner (yes the rock band)! PLEASE help me help them by visiting this link http://wsrkfm.com/cast-your-vote-in-our-sing-with-foreigner-contest/ and casting […]

An open letter to NY state police.

This week I am in NY visiting helping out my mother after her knee surgery. This morning around 7am I ran to the post office for her and stopped at the gas station to pick up a pack of smokes. On the way home, about 2 houses down from my parents place I see this […]

The Original Screensaver

I know, I know. I have been really busy lately and have not posted anything. You wouldn’t even believe how much so. Last night, right before I passed out from another long week I was reading my email (in mutt, the best email client btw) and I decided I was going to take a little […]

Who is that masked man?

Probably you have either listened to me or read my thoughts or both for several years now, but it occurred to me today that someone out there might be interested in seeing what actually drives the LincGeek. I currently live in Pennsylvania, but I was born and raised in Upstate NY, with a brief stint […]

MagicJack Plus

I was an early adopter of voip, initially using Broadvoice, then later inphonex for service, but lately, their service has been problematic. My wife had noticed that after making or receiving a call, the next call she would not be able to hear or talk to the other end of the line. This often required […]

And then there was 1

Almost everybody knows I have ferrets, and many of you have heard me talk about the phenomena of ferret math. The downside of this is when you have to say goodbye to one of your fuzzy friends. Today was just such a day for me. Ferrets, for those of you not in the know, are […]
