Digital Photo Frame

I have been checking out those digital photo frames for some time now. Thinking that I really ought to have one. The problem is that I am so cheap. I just can’t seem to force myself to put out around $70 for a wallet sized photo frame. As long as I have been waiting for […]

Resurrection

I have been pretty sick since last night, which is probably why I have the time to post here today 🙂 I seem to have some kind of stomach bug right now which is keeping me in close proximity to my bathroom. But, inbetween bathroom breaks, I have been able to check my email at […]

Subversion

I do a fair bit of coding as as such I decided long ago I needed to use a versioning system. Initially I used cvs, like most people do. After using it a while I was looking for something with some better features and decided upon Subversion. I have been using it ever since. By […]

A Practical Guide To Ubuntu Linux

Usually, when I read through a book of this size, I find that it’s full of “fluff”. What really struck me on this book is there is just page after page after chapter after chapter of genuinely useful information. I have seen other readers reviews about how comprehensive this book is but you really don’t […]

ClusterSSH

Before I forget, on a recent episode of The LinuxLink TechShow our buddy Dave Yates clued me into a fantastic program called ClusterSSH which has made my life at work a LOT easier lately. ClusterSSH is a program that will open multiple concurrent ssh sessions to different machines and allow you to control them all […]

BSFLite

I thought I’d try and sneak this in real quick before I head to bed for the night. Today I was doing some work outside of my office and computer, and the only machine available was a windows machine. I really needed to send a couple quick IM’s but no AIM installed on this machine […]

HIDS

Wow, even my wife has been buggin that I haven’t posted anything lately. So, here goes… For quite some time now I have been running a program called OSSEC at work as an IDS or Intrusion Detection System. I had even recommended it to Dann a while back, but haven’t heard back from him regarding […]

Linux on Compaq Presario F730US

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 […]

iChristmas

While most people are getting a new Nokia N810 or a EeePC, I opted for a much cheaper techie gift. I have been wanting a beater laptop to lug around when I needed to. Something I could afford to break or lose or whathaveyou. Well, a friend was selling off his old 12 inch iBook […]

PodSync

A new version of PodSync (uses BashPodder) is out and available for download. This new version is for OS2008 on the Nokia N800/N810. It’s pretty slick. And, if you, like me, are still running OS2007, you can find the older versions off of PodSync’s Home Pages.
