Technology

I have been using the 2.4.20 kernel with the CK set of patches with my gentoo install for a while, and they were ok, but every once and a while I’d come to the computer in the morning and find it sitting at a login screen, and I assumed tthat it was something futzing up […]

Last night I actually got a couple of things off my stack of “todo”s instead of on them. I picked up yet another server from JP of the design company to get the user interface that some company they deal with wants off. Aside from a trip to Surrey being involved, it was good. I

So in my search for “evaluation software” I have been looking for programs for the iMac. There is nothing on Kazaa, and while there are newsgroups (alt.binaries.mac.osx.apps), I have yet to find a mac news reader that can download, decode, and re-assemble the postings (in some sort of binhex crap encoding) as nicely as Pan

So now I have the iMac’s speaker out connected to the line in on the windows box, and the windows box’s speaker out connected to the linux box, which has the nice speakers attached to it. It all works! Now I just need a way to get rid of the iMac’s awful keyboard…. maybe replace

Went out to an ex-co-workers place today to help with some computer stuff. She was the executive assistant at the old merilus and she threw me an email a bit ago seeing if I could help her out with fixing a computer that was “doing wierd things”. Of course I said yes and today I

I’ve been reading through some of the threads at XvsXP.com and realized something about the whole “apple vs pc” argument. I’m sure that it’s been realized before, but I only really got it now. Because the two technologies don’t interop well nicely at all (hardware wise), and one is fairly expensive to get in to

Well, it was an eye opener as to the “user friendly” Mac system. I stopped by a company in town here that had a G4-400 tower that they’d be willing to let go (they want a bit much, but I figure I’d check it out anyway). The box had a linux installed at one point,

Oh god, I’m turning into Engel or foz… I’ve been dreaming about macs, thinking about macs, and lusting over macs for the last few days. Dude from possiblenewjob mentioned that the developers have/use iBooks and they have some “spare” iMacs (the gumdrop kind) piled up, the guys here said they can get a G3 powermac

I always have my cookie settings set to “ask”, and the “details” window (or “more info”) expanded so I can see now only what information is stored on my computer, but who is storing it. I follow the following rules: If my IP address (24.x.x.x) is anywhere in the cookie, Block If it’s any sort

Just discovered today thanks to a post on the gentoo mailing list that there is a package called “mplayerplug-in” (not the best name IMHO). This plugin allows mpg/avi/mov playback (ie: the apple movie trailers page). Just run the following: emerge mplayerplug-in and wait for it to finish, then restart your mozilla/galeon/phoenix and ta-da! I just
