Since I talk about them

Since I talk about them all the time, I’ve decided to post a breakdown of the machines I have at work. Here you go, in no particular order: Dell Precision 220 – 733mhz P3 / 20gb HD / 256 mb RAM – Win2k Dell Precision 550 – Dual Xeon 1.7ghz / Dual 36gb SCSI hd […]

I feel so geekily accomplished.

I feel so geekily accomplished. I’m installing GNOME2 on the uber-box and have already completed the schema for a new project (reporting – not exciting). What else will I be able to accomplish today? Who knows!!?? It’s not even 11! Maybe I’ll rewrite everything in Java (which I need to learn). Maybe I’ll invent a […]

To save you the trouble of actually reading the article, “Doctor” Paley asserts that Macintosh OS X is of the devil because the codename for the software was Darwin, which is based on FreeBSD. He also asserts that Open Source is the same as Communism. What […]

Etc

I updated my linux newbie page to tell you how to start XWindows from the command prompt. Also, if you were planning on installing YellowDog Linux 2.2 on a newer quicksilver G4 – don’t. Let me save you the trouble. There’s a problem with the new kernel and the installer that will totally hose you. […]
