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 […]

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment 3/ed

Good gracious this is a big book! What’s funny is I KNOW I have read and reviewed a previous edition of this book and I spent a half an hour looking for it this morning, but it must have been before I moved and on my old Blog. That being the case, well it’s high […]

Knock Knock…

Is anyone in there? Well, admittedly I thought it was time to get in here and blow the virtual dust off. It has been a while and once again, RL has gotten in the way of VL. I have been carrying a bit more burden at work with some issues and projects of late and […]

BashPodder: A new update

Yes it certainly has been a while since I have done *anything* with BashPodder. I have, however, received a few requests for things and some for access to the code on GitHub so it could be worked into some actual distribution packages. Queue this post.

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 […]

CentOS 6 Linux Server Cookbook

OH YEAH! Another book review, and one on one of my favorite Linux distributions too! Pakt Pub contacted me to do a review on their new CentOS 6 book, and boy was I excited at the chance. First of all, I generally like Pakt Pub‘s books, and second I really dig CentOS! Even better is […]

Reviews a comin’!

OK, ok, so I have been a bit absent lately. I have been mind blowingly busy at work. That aside, I *have* still been vaping and occasionally even answering my emails. SO, that brings me to this: I have some things I want to review and I thought I’d post a little teaser to know […]

BackTrack 5 Cookbook: Quick answers to common problems

You know, sometimes, just sometimes something fortuitous happens to me. This was one of those times. I was contacted by my friends over at Pakt Publishing to review their new book on BackTrack. Of course I said sure. Hey, I am a Linux junkie after all! It had actually been quite a while since I […]
