Well, it’s a bit like spring cleaning, and while it did involve cleaning (mostly to dig for my Ruby on Rails book… did I lend this to anyone or has it been timewarped out of my office completely?), it was mostly about cleanup. I finally got around to installing the new monitor I got at […]

Not that long ago I got myself a new system based on the Intel DP965LT motherboard. The only thing that I still can’t get going is the microphone. Anyone else have this working with this hardware? What happens is that basically nothing happens when I plug in the microphone. No output when I yell into

I did this a couple of years ago and got most of the stuff on the list…. well, mostly bought it myself years after the fact, but hey, here’s a snapshot of the materialistic side of me, Alan’s Christmas Wish List 2006! Second (or third) 20.1″ LG LCD monitor for the desk. I have one

Sometimes I really forget we live in the world of tomorrow. I watched this video of the launch of Discovery, Mission STS-116 on YouTube and it hit me after the fact that I was watching an immense space vehicle blast into space. Sure, they’ve been doing this since I was in elementary school, and hell,
