My laptop was overheating, so I took it apart to clean it. The power adapter (crappy friction fit kind) kept falling out, so while I was at it, I figured I'd fixed it. While pulling the part out I needed to fiddle with, I ripped a resistor off the board. Great. I had the resistor, [...]

- Arthur has not returned, but Liz doesn't think that the fur is his. I do not know if this is good or bad. – My NY Pistol permit arrived. So, tomorrow I'm headed out to the gun store to pick up the first of my guns to come back home. The rest will be [...]

Video Games: I've stopped playing Baldur's gate for a bit – it just got too monotonous, and makes me long for real RPG's. So, I started playing Warzone 2100 again, when I realize that it suffers from a fatal flaw – you can't restart a mission from the beginning. If you get to a point [...]

So, for the past two weeks ago, I have been playing with spamato, both the standalone proxy and the Thunderbird plugin. First, the concept is interesting – it's actually a bunch of different anti-spam solutions and if some number of them (default two) think something is spam, then it is. I tested the proxy a [...]

I have not seen Arthur in 36 hours. I found fur in the yard. No blood, just clumps of Arthur colored fur. And my father in law saw some coyote scat a couple of days ago. I am concerned. I also realize that I haven't seen any rabbits for the past few weeks – when [...]

Linky to what prompted this Look, it's simple: – The largest scale massacres in history were perpetrated by governments (aka “state actors”). – By attempting to ban sale of arms to “non-state actors”, you facilitate these massacres – When these massacres are against a specific racial/ethnic group, we call this genocide. This is important, so [...]

Can someone explain to me why everyone love's IDE's? It seems to me that the things they are good at (debugging, laying things out, finding where things are) can be accomplished almost as well if not equally well as other tools, but the core use – writing code, is hampered by code editors which fundamentally [...]

So, it has come to my attention that Venezuela is undergoing a military buildup. Now, this doesn't really concern me per se, but I have to wonder what their ambitions are. Given that, I can't help but wonder if Red Dawn was 25 years early. It makes you think, doesn't it? Now, if I can [...]

For some time, one of the hard drives in my disk array was clicking. I new it was failing, but didn't know which one. So, I figured I'd wait for it to fail, then replace it. Last week, the array got very slow. So, I checked the array and got the following: Unit UnitType Status [...]
