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 […]
For those of you who were wondering why you haven’t heard a lot from me in August…. I had just gotten a promotion, which, on the outset sounds good, except it comes with four times the work and responsibilities (maybe 5 times, I haven’t decided yet). The month started out with my 2 cats being […]
I am moving some old backups from a suspect broken NAS to a new one (before all my power goes out from an impending storm) and ran across my backups from my original blog. Interesting side note is that I started blogging on September 17th 2003. Anyhow, while looking at that I found what is […]
In continuation, somewhat, of my last post and a brief review on the last TechShow, I wanted to jot down some notes about my newest encounter with ESXi and Subsonic. I wanted to try out Subsonic, so I really needed to put together a new machine to play with it a bit. As a RL […]
Early last week I had another burst of reading activity on my Kindle 3. Reading for me tends to come in spurts when the rest of my life doesn’t interfere and it had been a while. I loaded up the Kindle with some new goodies (Sh*t my dad says is hilarious, btw) and started peeling […]

I always love to see what people are doing on their Linux boxen so I figured I would offer up my current screenshot and see if I could encourage you all to do the same. Here I am this morning running Linux Mint 10 (realy nice btw), google chrome browsing my usual websites, thunderbird checking […]
After having a couple really long and bad weeks here at the Fessenden residence, I finally got the chance to send back my Think Penguin Air review unit. But right before I did that I wanted to make sure I wiped all my personal info from the computer. Cue Linux Mint 10 Release Candidate. I […]
Oh yeah, I have been busy, but I promised myself I would post some stuff as soon as I got a chance. One of the things I wanted to mention was my recent purchase of a straight razor. I bought this shave set from Amazon a few weeks ago and have finally learned how to […]
How many is too many? Is this excessive or have I just been watching too many episodes of Hoarders? Top – Dell Inspiron 15 – My “desktop” machine. Far left – Macbook 5,2 – Use when I am relaxing in bed with my feet propped up. Pisses me off that I cannot get Linux shoehorned […]
