I have been playing a bit with my new Tivo. Building some scripts to automate getting things off of there and converting the nedia to something I could use. Last night I started a job on my desktop to do just such a thing, and this morning it was still running. I took a look […]
I have been asked by a few different people now about using my Tivo with Linux and with the n800. Even though I have not had my Tivo for very long, I thought I would take a stab at writing a document about how I use them anyhow. The result is at http://lincgeek.org/linc/docs/tivo/. Take a […]
It seems that the entire world has gone completely crazy. Yes, I am referring to not being able to get xmms on Ubuntu anymore. And I thought things were messed up when Slackware did it as well. What were they thinking? Yes, I realize that xmms was old, but you don’t see me throwing out […]
Here we go again.. Another backup horror story to remind you all to do your backups. Now, you would think that as many times as I have revisited this topic, that *I* would be backup master and that I would never have an incident where I couldn’t retrieve something in a catastrophe.

I have done a few Ubuntu release upgrades in the house now, so I figured I’d comment a little bit about them and the new Ubuntu 8.04 in general… The first upgrade was my laptop. This was an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and everything went really smooth. Well, I should say it went smooth, […]
I do a fair bit of LAMP programming at work and one of the tools I hold absolutely invaluable in this regard is HTML Validator. This handy-dandy little program is a Firefox Extension that is based on HTML Tidy and does w3c html validation. Just right click on the website and pick “view page source” […]
I have been enjoying my laptops upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 for a couple days now. I really like the added speed that the new Firefox 3 beta seems to have. I initially thought it odd that they included beta software in their LTS release, but that speed….! The only thing that is really getting under […]
I have been doing quite a bit of work lately with my LinuxForChristians website. It has kind of been neglected as of late, well, very much so I guess 😉 I have finally gotten around to getting things started correctly I think, by actually registering a domain, by setting up a better (or at least […]
I spent some time yesterday upgrading my laptop to Ubuntu 8.04. It took me quite a while since the release is very new still as the repositories are being hammered relentlessly and are quite slow. I have to say, though, so far I am pleased with the results. Everything works fine with the one exception […]
Many moons ago I performed a cdrom install over nfs. I just did another and it reminded me how much I dislike them. I just thought I would share 😉 If someone asks you to do one, don’t.
