Compiling
Recently I wanted to install VMWare on Danielle’s computer. I’ve installed Kubuntu on her Linux machine (Toad) and I wanted to get a clone over her Windows computer onto there in VMWare player. I used VMWare Converter to create the VMWare clone of her Windows computer and then put it into the Kubuntu box. But…

MythTv Remote Setup Complete
Well, almost. I got everything installed and configured for the remote to work. However, there are currently some buttons that don’t do anything – so I need to go into the config and get those buttons to do something. There are definitely some things that I need to program into the remove to get full…

sudo make me a sandwhich
I think that the single largest source of mirth at the Thanksgiving dinner was Dan’s xkcd tshirt. Dan and I were the only ones who knew what this meant. Dave was the only other person capable of grasping it. Everyone else kept asking Dan to explain the shirt over and over. No matter how many…

MythTv Update
Well, I’ve have my MythTv box for about 24 hours now. I have figured out everything that was bugging me about the system except for the remote control. I hear this may require some compiling on my end. Not something I’m fond of, but I’ve done it before, so it shouldn’t be too bad. So…

Finally, I have MythTv!
I’ve wanted one for quite a few years now. I’ve really wanted one since I got my Jetway MiniQ case about 2 years ago – almost to the day. Now I finally got all the necessary parts today and put it together. If Jetway was still selling the MiniQ (it’s discontinued) I would DEFINITELY recommend…

Further Review of Flock 0.9
So I’m using Flock daily now for my web browsing to see how I like it. Since I don’t usually go to Facebook on my own, it’s nice to see the notifications within Flock. Thus, I’ve been more responsive to my Facebook private messages, a good thing since my second-cousin recently caught up with me…

Flock 0.9
(just so you know, you should be able to click on most of the screenshots to see them more clearly) Earlier this year, I took a look at flock. It didn’t impress me. In fact, I found it so useless to my browsing habits that I didn’t even bother to review it. I neglected to…

Ubuntu Girl
This picture appeared in a blog that claims to be a hot girl in a wet ubuntu tshirt because she loves Ubuntu. I say that it claims because the tshirt was photoshopped to have the logo. However, my favorite part are the comments on digg.com. Here are some of my favorites: (reads like a bunch…

A new computer from Eric Mesa Computing
I got to engage in one of my favorite activities this week – building computers! My father-in-law’s Windows Vista laptop was going so slow, he often thought it was about to kernel panic. So I saw the computer he wanted at dell and spec’d it and found out I could do it for $400 cheaper…

Where I see the future of computing going…
Recently, Penguin Pete, who’s on my blogroll, wrote this piece about his disapproval about where Ubuntu was taking Linux. Some of his key arguments were….doh! He removed the posts. I guess I’ll have to summarize. He said, in a nutshell, that too many Windows users were going to Ubuntu and expecting it to be just…

The Rootless Root
Here’s a great collection of Zen Writing Parody called The Rootless Root. I will sample my favorite one here to give you an idea of the wisdom contained inside. Master Foo and the Script Kiddie A stranger from the land of Woot came to Master Foo as he was eating the morning meal with his…

SCO vs IBM as a part in The Princess Bride
I found this online and had to include it because this is my favorite scene in The Princess Bride. It concerns the current lawsuit between IBM and SCO. (Click that link to find out more about it). It appears on slashdot and is written by Titanium Fox: SCO: So, it is down to you, and…

Another Look at Thoggen (Part 2)
So, according to Thoggen’s count, it took 4.45 hours to encode into Theora. At least with this DVD it seems that the coding team has fixed their error where the software seems to keep going past the end of the DVD. As far as I recall from one year ago, it didn’t add more infomation…
