South East Linux Fest

OK, everyone else has now had time to review S.E.L.F. and now it’s my turn. My trip started out on Thursday night around 11pm when Allan arrived to pick me up. The trip was long, 12+ hours, and mostly uneventful. Driving at night through Virginia is murder. Nothing to look at for literally hours at […]

Hurry Up!

Many of you heard me giving rave reviews about my new Sansa Fuse earlier. Well, I just saw that Woot.com has the Sansa Clip (smaller version of the Fuse) on sale RIGHT NOW 6/17/2009 for just $15. Go get one now. You’ll be mad if you miss out.

Green elaboration

I wanted to elaborate a little on putting Linux Mint on my Acer Aspire One. For starters, my AAO is the 8gb flash drive model. No HDD in there baby! First I removed all the SSD cards from the AAO. Didn’t want to accidentally overwrite any data I may be saving there you know. I […]
