This is the final chapter in the saga of my broken Thinkpad T23. Many of you know that I have been using my T23 for testing distributions lately, and before that for a headless server. The reason for that is that the machine has this flaky video problem where sometimes it works, sometimes it does […]
I have heard, so many times now, that windows is simply just easier to use than Linux. Some people say it’s more intuitive. Well, today I had the pleasure of having to configure a network printer on my windows xp vm, and I call bullcrap. Now let me put things in perspective a little bit. […]
I know, I know. I wrote earlier about how the T23 was suffering some sort of display death again and would undoubtedly end up on freelinuxbox.org. While that is definitely true, I was looking at it today and thought I’d start it up again and let it do it’s updates. I did and the display […]
A few days ago my storage facility emailed me and asked me to take a quick customer survey. I obliged. Dear Lincoln, Is there anything else that you would like to tell us about your experience with Extra Space Storage? My understanding is that you folks just took over the storage space I have been […]
Today in the U.S.A. we are celebrating Thanksgiving Day, which is a day where we try and remember what we are really thankful for. I thought I would share my hot list. I am thankful for my God. Many don’t like it and most don’t understand, but my life changed dramatically when I accepted Jesus […]

For quite sometime, as a little morale booster, we have been having Hawaiian Shirt Fridays at work. It’s fun and I, personally like Hawaiian shirts. The gaudier the better. Well, recently, it has been decided that in lieu of the warmer weather, perhaps we should temporarily switch to Ugly Sweater Fridays instead. What you see […]
Nothing tool wonderful to post about today, just that I finally got some business cards. I have long carried some around for the LinuxLink TechShow and other things, but never seem to get around to anything general about me or more recently, anything that even has my name and number on it. Well, a few […]
Not to be outdone by Danns fantastic sounding fried wontons, I figured since it’s getting colder a little pepper pot would be tasty for those long days where geeking out is making you fiercely hungry. * 1-2 lbs Ground Beef * Couple cans cubed Potatoes * 1 or 2 cans Carrots * 2 quarts Beef […]
I have to keep a windows xp vm kicking around that I use almost never for those nagging few windows apps that the smart developers didn’t make at least a web version for. Well, I needed to to some modifications to a project on MS Project server (Firefox/Linux compatibility in next release BTW) so I […]
