I’m a slob

Yup, that’s right I’m a slob. It has been rightly said before than I often wear my dinner. I don’t think I have ever worn a white shirt without some kind of tomoto sauce stain on it, and certainly not more than once. So, that brings me to this post. Many years ago I smartly […]

Linux Recruting

I get a LOT of emails from headhunters, many asking me to come work for them doing every-damn-thing for no money as a “consultant” on (only) a 6 month contract 🙂 I am sure all tech people do. Occasionally I get email from a recruiter who is actually asking me for help looking for a […]

HTML 5 Unleashed

This has been a hard review on me in a lot of ways. The first being I found it very difficult recently just to get the time to put into this, and secondly, and more importantly, I just plain suck at Javascript 🙂 This is not the first book on HTML 5 I have reviewed […]

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 […]

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 […]

Stay Tuned!

I have been asked to review the “Linux Shell Scripting Cookbook” by Packt Publishing. It’s supposed to be coming in a couple days, so here’s your teaser to stay tuned! Packt Pub vs. Curmudgeonly SyaAdmin, a dead tree death match, only here at lincgeek.org/blog.

Diagnosis: Paranoia

You know, there are just some things you do not need first thing on a Monday morning. This was one of them… I came and and started reviewing my reports and was looking at an access report, which is basically a “last | grep $TheDateIWant” from over the weekend. I keep a pretty tight ship […]

I am a man!

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 […]

My Web Workers Toolkit

Ahh, it’s been far too long since I have had anything to say here. I have to say that I have been *legitimately* busy this time. As many of you know, we have come to a close on the first season of The LinuxLink TechShow. That’s 365 (about) 2 hour long episodes over the course […]

Excessive?

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 […]
