I know that an L. Hall (name shortened) last sat in front of this computer. How do I know? Because their entire paper was copied into the clipboard. Times, dates, class number, the whole nine yards. Just because you close the browser, doesn’t mean all of your private information is gone. Any feature, any program [...]
Edit: Almost forgot to mention: I heard about this blog post from flameeyes. There was a really, really good blog post that actually clarified to me what was for so long a nuisance in discussions with Free Software purists (and I couldn’t reason out why at the time). Read this quote: A long time ago, [...]
Hello readers! It’s been a while, hasn’t it, since I’ve made a good post about how to do something or other? That’s usually a good indication that I’ve been busy with something or other, and have been using my system as-is without much time for exploration. Well, I want to let anyone who reads this [...]
I read a blog post recently on Planet Larry, which describes only one facet of how cell-phones are disgusting. It reminded me that I’ll have to get one soon. All the same, it’s nice to see I’m not the only one who hates it. It feels like the cell-phone world is moving at a snails [...]
I wish I had more nice here’s-how-to sort of blog posts. I also wish my desktop had managed to stick around until it could be considered reasonable to buy a MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, nothing is going exactly how I want it to, for the most part. My desktop began showing odd symptoms last summer. The [...]
I have a new project now. It’s called Gentoo for Pandora. It’s pretty easy to figure out what it’s all about, but I’ll summarize for those who don’t know: Gentoo is a distributon of Linux, and it features a very flexible, very powerful package system called portage (though some would say otherwise). Gentoo’s recommended installation [...]

Update: I don’t know what to think of this. Only iStockPhoto should know of this alias, yet the comments assure me it isn’t iStockPhoto. Make of it what you will. Yahoo! Mail has this great feature, where you can set up “alias” e-mail addresses that protect your main one. Any mail coming from that address [...]

Alright, now I have this Firefox extension (ScribeFire), so I’ll be blogging as things come up, and hopefully provide more time for me to write these things. Three cheers to blogging revived! Powered by ScribeFire.
Wow, a lot of things have happened since I last posted. I’ve discovered my laptop’s actually slowly dying, and that is really why the 3D stuff is crashing. I’ve upgraded to Feisty (wow, it gets better every release). I’m working on a PHP project. I’ve been using MediaMaster(.com) a ton. Excellent service. I’ve discovered Jamendo.com, [...]
