This is a very sad post. Very early this morning my wife woke me up saying there was something wrong with my ferret Stinky. It appeared that his back end was paralyzed. We immediately made an appointment for first thing this morning at his vet. The vet knew what was wrong immediately with Stinky. His […]
A very Merry Christmas to you all from the Fessendens.
Preamble: I know there hasn’t been a lot of technical content on here lately. This is in stark contrast to that recent trend. I just purchased a Compaq Presario F730US laptop, ideally for my wife’s Christmas present. This wasn’t really even the laptop I wanted, but it was what was available at the time. My […]
Most times, I really don’t realize what a nerd I am… or my family. Surprisingly enough, they are pretty nerdy too. I learned that this weekend. You see, this weekend around 10am on saturday morning, my internet service stopped. It seems there was some sort of problem with low voltage on the repeater outside the […]

Been quite ill this week so far, but in on of my few lucid moments, I remembered that I never actually put this up on my blog. A while back I made a simple bracket counting utility that I use against my php scripts when I get stuck. Basically, all it does is give you […]
After actually using PCLinuxOS for a bit (still running it off of cd) I have decided that I will give it a shot in a real install. I have been able to do everything I wanted with it on cd except get x2vnc running. I use that to control my mac mini on the same […]
