I'm a bloggy blogger who blogs.

Vew Nideo

by

https://www.psicologialaboral.net/2024/08/07/klhvyfs The title is a spoonerism. I love me a good spoonerism. 🙂 New review video is up, and ripe for the watching. Enjoy! (Oh, and here‘s where the video lives on the Linux Journal site — there’s lots more information there, and since I “point” to a link during the video, it really looks best from their site… 😉 )

Get Outside!!!

by

Ok, if you’re on the east coast, press pause on your Tivo, and go outside. Right now. Do it. About 3 minutes ago, the Lunar Eclipse started, and we won’t have another till 2010. And it will probably be cloudy in 2010. So go watch now! (It’s actually a rather slow event, so you have some time. You can go … Read more

Busy, Busy, Busy

by

Work (all kinds) has me currently very busy, so my blog usually suffers. That, and since my blog was spamming folks, it took more of it’s fair share of yesterday morning away from me as well. So instead of some enlightening, meaningful, comedic quip — I give you a picture of a recycling bin. Linux Journal Sponsored Recycling! Here’s the … Read more

Force Fed Comments

by

My apologies, when I updated the theme on my site, apparently it didn’t mingle well with the “subscribe to comments” plugin. Everyone was AUTOMATICALLY subscribed whether they wanted it or not. Eiw.

by

I’ve toyed on and off with the idea of a podcast. I’ve decided to go ahead with the plan, and I’m going to try doing a weekly deal. The bad news is that I’m not exactly sure how the format will go. It might change. It might flop. (The last is actually a significant possibility) The good news is that … Read more

Skype-y Goodness

by

My server room is loud. That’s not a bad thing, but it does mean that if I’m in there, I can’t hear my phone in the next room. That is a bad thing. As much as I’d like to avoid it, people do need to speak with me sometimes. Ugh. I realize the most logical course of action would be … Read more

Spiderwick Chronicles Movie Review

by

We took the kids to see The Spiderwick Chronicles last night. This movie was significant for a couple reasons. The first, is that all the special effects (of which there were many, and well done) were all done with Linux. This, needless to say, makes me happy. Second, we just read, as a family, the whole Spiderwick series. There are … Read more

Took It.

by

I did take my pill (and I’d have forgotten, if it weren’t for Michelle), and I’m trying to dream up some absurd widget that I have to update daily when I take my pill. Maybe I’ll integrate a “skype me a reminder” button somehow too. …anyway, I’m off to take the kids to the library to see an owl with … Read more
