So, this article had me thinking about computers, usage patterns, etc.
In general, for my normal computing tasks, a processor about as powerful as the Intel atom in my netbook is enough. Maybe something a little more powerful, so that the hulu/youtube/etc isn’t so choppy (it is a very little bit choppy).
The only things which really [...]

The laptop upgrade was a simple incremental upgrade. Nothing earthshaking, despite trying both Gnome and KDE4. I’m still using XFCE.
The netbook, however, is quite wonderful. I’m now using the Netbook Remix| and the UI is quite good for small devices. Of course, I need to tweak the crap out of the base install (but […

Apparently Hillary left something on the seat which infected Gillibrand. She’s just as bad as who she replaced.

Because of the above, I picked up a copy of Battletech:Total Warfare. It’s a good thing that the pages are kind [...]

Spent the weekend at the brother in law’s. The nieces and nephew are too cute.
The plants are going like gangbusters.

Will probably hit the range this weekend.
I think that’s about it.

I wanted to install Trac into an OpenVZ container on Daisy, and when I installed the Ubuntu openvz kernel, it wouldn’t boot.
Doing a little poking around, it looks like that kernel is compiled with PAE turned on, and if your CPU doesn’t support it, it won’t boot.
So, the choice is to recompile my own kernel, [...]

While watching Star Trek: Nemesis
You know what Star Trek proves? Even when you don’t need money, you still need guns.

Given the passing of the first of April,
thy humble apostle,
anointed with 2 stroke 40:1 mix,
didst startest his new chainsaw,
and with a mighty grumble, it did come to life,
and the chips did fly, and care was taken,
such that all digits did remain attached.
When the midday time was reached,
a fire was made in the smoker,
and the grates [...]
