Working in MIS for most of my computer life, I have always wanted to maintain a balance between the knowledge haves and the knowledge have-nots. One cannot rightfully expect a coworker to be able to program in C++ (one cannot rightfully expect anyone from MIS to explain it either). By the same token, there has […]
Most people who have tried to install linux on a laptop know that it’s not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish. It can go decently or it can be extremely painful. It’s not as difficult as trying to convince the IRS you don’t owe money, but perhaps slightly more difficult than paying for […]
Don’t even begin to deny you’re reading this. It’s OK… it’s human nature.
It’s probably all over the media, a fact with which I’d be better acquainted if I checked out local media. As I understand it, someone threw a sex party. There were underage girls and boys in the fourteen-plus range. There were two adult […]
Here’s some booty from my surfing tonight:

Speed up bittorrent downloads (basic or advanced)

Every now and then, some site will put up their piece on file manager replacements. This particular one belongs to Lifehacker. I’m posting this because Lifehacker is one of my favorite sites of all time. You’ll always get good information, as well as the privilege of reading the arugments comments.
This article is a call for […]
I haven’t spent enough time on the actual topic of the blog, thermionic emissions. This simply refers to vacuum tubes and the way they operate.
Two weeks back I attended a hamfest outside of Philly. For the uninitiated, this is sort of an electronic flea market for radio, audio, and computer people. It does not refer, […]
According to Gibson anyway, here’s a list of popular left-handed guitarists.
Some you’ll know instantly, some you might recognize, some will be a complete mystery. Quite frankly, I don’t know how a certain dead one made it to the list with the description ’superb guitarist.’ Even his fans will tell you he wasn’t.
Also interesting to note […]
Since it’s been a while and since I’m a glutton for punishment and since I don’t often get to go into guitar stores with another lefty for pure entertainment, I managed to get by tonight. I heard all sorts of radio spots and even got a flyer for Guitar Center’s Strat Demo Days. The apparent […]
This is a concept I’ve been working on ever since I got married. It is explained thusly:
If the president is no longer able to perform his presidential duties, the vice president steps in and takes over.
Therefore, if the wife is no longer able to perform her wifely duties, the vice wife steps in and takes […]
I’m really keen on network monitoring. I have this thing about knowing how things are performing, if everything’s up to spec, and if there are any impending problems that are going to cause way more grief than anyone needs.
If you can picture this, we have four twenty-two inch monitors, set up two by two, as […]
