With all of the talk going on about baseball and steroids, I feel a need to express my opinion. There is and always will be one person responsible for taking steroids and that is the player. Everyone keeps wanting to say that it’s the league’s fault, it the owner’s fault, it’s the union’s fault… that’s …
Ubuntu Working Well on Laptop
My “old” laptop feels new again. Ubuntu has given it new life. I’ve been trying my best to use it for anything that I don’t explicitly need Windows for and the list is growing. I’m using it right now making my posts while I’m listening to music from my library. I got Banshee working for …
Another New Theme
It’s short-attention-theater time. I’ve decided to switch themes again. I kicked around a few others, but I’ll try this one for a couple of weeks and see how it works.
Linux on Children’s Computer
I got fed up with having to constantly “fix” the kids computer in their room. They were constantly installing software, toolbars and other “helper” applications that were causing the computer to not run well. Plus the updates were non-stop — especially since were weren’t allowing them on the Internet during the week… all updates were …
Converting to Linux
Well, not completely, but as much as possible, I am converting to Ubuntu Linux. I’ve switched a server at work, a workstation at work, a laptop at home and next is the kids’ computer in their room. I have just become tired of the slowness and all the additional crud installed on Windows boxes. Especially …
Cheap Trick Live at Harrah’s
Andrew and I went to see Cheap Trick at Harrah’s last night. I saw them last year at the TLA in Philly along with OK Go and it was a great time. Andrew has been mentioning that he would be interested in going to see them, so when tickets went on sale, I got some …
Sorry Dear… Couldn’t Do It
After working for about 2 months with the theme that my wife considers “acceptably un-boring”, I just can’t do it any longer. It was driving me nuts… too many moving parts. I like simple and clean, maybe because I’m simple. The new theme Librio is clean, neat and a soothing color combination allowing for easy …
Dogs Playing in the Snow
We’ll see if this works, it is the first video that I’ve posted. Daisy is enjoying the snow and Geddy is just plain afraid again… no surprise there. I wasn’t able to post it directly… I’ll have to look into that, but here is a link. Daisy and Geddy Playing
Let it snow… let it snow… let it snow…
We awoke to a considerable amount of snow this morning (for South Jersey anyway). While the kids have shown no interest in playing in it, it is quite beautiful. It was very light and easy to shovel, but it is getting pretty cold out. The kid’s school was cancelled, so I stayed home. Daisy really …
Horrible Sinus Infection
What a horrible week it has been. It just started out with some headaches and general stuffiness and by the end of the week, I couldn’t eat for 3 days due to the intense pain in my teeth and upper jaw. Today was the first that I’ve been able to eat in the past 4 …
