OLF 07

So much to say about the Ohio Linux Fest 2007 trip I am not entirely sure where to start or even where to end yet… I did want to say that this is the most fun I have had in a good while, and the most amazing thing happened there. I noticed that practically every […]

IBM Lotus Symphony

Just a real quick blurb on this as I am on a break at work…: I did do an install of the IBM Lotus Symphony office suite the day it was released and after using it a couple times I came across the following command which improves it’s performance dramatically: linc$ sudo /opt/ibm/lotus/Symphony/_uninst/uninstaller.bin

The burning!

It’s coming soon – the Ohio Linux fest. One of the things we will be handing out this year is cd’s / dvd’s with some of our shows on them. I know the other guys did loads of dvd’s with shows 1-180 on them. I thought I’d compliment that a little bit by making a […]

Happy Birthday!

I was just reminded by a member of my LUG that today is the birthday of Linux! It was today on 1991 that Linux v0.01 was released into the wild!

Standing Ovation

I happened into the Exton Music store today and was persuaded to get another guitar. Actually, my neighbor had mentioned that the store was trying to get rid of some old stock and had a deal on a couple 12 strings there, and it took me until today to get there and look. At any […]

I dig the blues

One of the real perks of working/living in the Philly area that never occurred to me before coming here was the fantastic street musicians. Sure, there are some real stinkers, but I have run across some really great ones in my travels through the train stations. Today, I stopped and bought a cd from just […]

TechShow Notice!

Attention TechShow Mirror Sites! We had a problem with the initial mp3 file generated from the show last night. The file drops audio after an hour. That file has, however, now been replaced. Please download the newest version for a replacement of the bad file http://tllts.org/mirror.php?fname=tllts_209-09-12-07.mp3. I have removed all the previous mirror links so […]

Computer Pron

Now I know most of you have seen one of my old computer setups at home, but since moving and all I have had to severely downsize. I figured there would be at least a few of you who were interested in what I am running now. Things have been whittled down a lot! I […]

Speedy Delivery

I never seem to have enough time. I am sure you know what I am talking about. One of the things I don’t have enough time for lately is listening to the podcasts I want to hear. Take for instance TLLTS. The podcast is 2 hours long. Hard to squeeze that into an hour long […]

This weekend while I was doing multiple installs on that laptop-server, I noticed something. I noticed that ssh’ing to my new server was obscenely slow. And this was right after I added the hostname into bind! After fiddling about with things for a few minutes it occurred to me that I might be having a […]
