Rants

Just not enough time in the day…how many times have you said that? I’m looking at the last time I posted here and can’t believe it’s been since July. I’m active on most of the social sites that I’m a member of but blogging itself has fallen by the wayside. Twitter and Plurk updated via [...]

Where does the time go? Hadn’t realized that it had been over a month since I last posted here. Seems I have a million things going on and not enough time. My project to start digitizing my documents has started but it certainly has a long way to go. Just today my wife and I [...]

Last week was my birthday and besides hearing the “old man” jokes as I turned 42 I also got asked by a few of my friends when I was going to grow up. Now for some that might seem to be an insult but the question wasn’t asked in that matter. Now [...]

I have spent hours on various Linux forums, tried various Linux distros, used countless configurations and you know what: it still isn’t working. I’ve said this before and [...]

No Linux rants today, that is reserved for CBS! Just found out that they canceled Jericho, one of the shows that I had to watch every week. Of course it ended on a hell of cliffhanger. It started out with great ratings but like all the other networks they give it a mid-season hiatus, people [...]
