Yes, another in the junker series on my T23. I *finally* got around to playing a bit with the new Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I know, based on the date of the posts, that it’ll look like I am doing a distribution a day (magic of dated publishing), but I have had this running a […]
I had a little trouble on the last TechShow with my audio. You see, I use a CyberAudio USB headset on the show, and I recently upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 9.04 and pulse audio makes a nice hum the entire time now with my headset. Obviously this irritates me and I decided to […]
(sung to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song) Oh, this is a story ’bout a man named Joe. He sent me an OSD a couple years ago. An’ just the other day he said “You really should review…” Then he boxed up and sent me a Neuros Link too… OK, OK I know, […]
Many of you know that I am strangely fascinated by what sorts of things people name their servers after. I, personally, use cryptids. I have machines named things like Sasquatch, Nessie, Yeti, Chupacabras and the like. Last night I had to do some work. One of the things I needed to take care of was […]
Just thought I’d stop in to say that I checked the TLLTS Folding at Home Team Stats today and noticed that we are ranked 230th out of almost a million and a half other teams! Congratulations! If you are not running FAH and on our team, it’s not too late to start!! Well, what are […]

Crap. That’s my final thought on the subject. Last night I decided to finally update my wireless infrastructure and start using WPA instead of just using mac filtering. It’s not that I am uber concerned about the security aspect of it because, let’s face it, the only way to really have a secure box and […]
Yes, I know, It’s about time. Last night I finally got around to upgrading my Ubuntu install on my mail workstation at home from 7.10 to 8.04. Well, I shouldn’t say upgraded, because it was a fresh install. I used the default graphical install, which basically means that the new install took a long time. […]
OK, I mentioned before that Dann convinced me to try Openbox. Well I have been digging it so far, but I have found a couple other issues with using it under Ubuntu. I had been switching to it all along after having my laptops already running, so I didn’t notice until this weekend that when […]
