I don’t get out much, as you might know.  This is largely by choice and for many reasons.  One of the main reasons came back to me in Technicolor last night.
My wife opined that I don’t attend many of her favored events and she’s correct.  In order to balance the scales a little bit, I [...]

It sure as hell isn’t mine, but I wish it was.
Pay specific attention to number two.  We have the power, we have term limits.  We have them all at the voting booth.  Use them.

Today was the yearly company event/outing.  If you’ve been following things, you know I put together a band of coworkers to entertain at this bash.  I just got home - tired and happy.
Every show I’ve ever played has been a total disaster for one reason or another, usually technical, sometimes due to the audience.  Even [...]

So I’ve had my Droid for about 24 hours.
Since I’ve been otherwise occupied with the unavoidable consequences of occasionally having a life, I have had much interaction with it, other than it very occasionally ringing.  I can live with that.

My company, acting with greatest haste, just procured a Droid for me (after it became available eleven days ago).  I figured I’d share the joy of unboxing and using it.

I have been using 9.10 for a short time now.  On the single Intel machine, I did a straight upgrade to 9.10.  On three AMD machines, I wound up doing a reinstall with 64 bit Xubuntu.  Trust me, if your machine is ok with it, use the 64 bit version.  It’s crazy fast.
So technically, only [...]

There aren’t many people who would turn down a free lunch at the best steak place in the city, but that’s just me.  I tried valiantly but couldn’t get out of it.  It might have had something to do with the fact that it was a Windows 7 promo, put on by one of our [...]
