So, its been a bit since I posted anything, and a long time since I posted any kind of review or tech review, but I am gonna tell you about my experiences with Apple’s MobileMe service. Per Apple, <em>“MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and…

Just a little humor to break up the monotony. After the Jump:

If you hadn’t heard yet, tomorrow 13 Feb 09 at 3:31:30 PM (PST) the time will be 1234567890.  Unix time that is.  Its the one and only occurrence ever of that time and it will last exactly one second.  There are actually parties planned in…

Ok, my wife is pregnant and due tomorrow with our second little girl.  Hopefully, she will be on time because of my deployment crunch.  I am really looking forward to her arrival too. Anyway, I am excited she is coming, but not this excited.  Besides, if I made…

For those who don’t know, the iPhone is locked up tight by Apple and the only things you can do with it are add apps available in the App Store.  You can read a few of my…

Up here in Alaska there are only three cellphone providers available.  Two are regional (ACS and GCI), and AT&T Wireless.  My wife and I had T-Mobile.  T-Mobile had been our carrier since I switched from Cingular several years ago.  The problem was that T-Mobile is in…

Open source will rule the world!! This seems to be a real brand of cola. There was a discussion about it in one of the forums I read. I just wonder if it is GPL compliant.

So after three days of trying, I finally obtained the latest version of openSUSE.  It is definitely worth the time to upgrade.  I ended up wiping my entire drive (<em>say bye, bye Vista</em>) and finally organizing it properly for a Linux install.  So when I say its worth…

Did you know you can order pizza from Dominos via your *nix command line?  Well you can thanks to Pizza Party.  I would have to say my favorite function is the ability to batch order pizzas from an input file.  After all, us *nix geeks have some…

I have been a Battlestar Galactica fan since the beginning, much to my wife’s shagrin.  I even own all of the DVDs through season 2.5.  I bought them while in Iraq and was looking forward to catching up with season 3 before I came home.  Alas those DVDs…

Just in case anyone out there using a flavor of Linux was wondering, Amazon.com has a version of their MP3 Downloader available for several flavors of Linux.  You need this little app to download whole albums from Amazon.  I like the Amazon MP3 store better than iTunes,…

XKCD is one of my favorite online comics.  In fact, its pretty much the only comic I look forward to reading - online or otherwise.  Sometimes, the comics strike a chord, sometimes I just go, “huh!?” There are always hidden messages in the…

Yes, more Geekness, but this time hopefully useful to someone.  In my boredom, I decided to create a backup script for my important Linux directories.  This way hopefully next time I upgrade my OS or experiment a little too wildly, I will have backups of all the stuff I trashed. …

<strong>** WARNING** The following entry has a high level of geekness, even for Linux users.  Read at your own discretion! </strong> Ok, so I had a minor scare tonight when I thought I had trashed my computer completely.  See, the other day I upgraded…

Guess which one won?  This is what happens when you use a Dell Inspiron as target practice during Reflexive fire.  I dug a round out of the hard drive for the owner when we all got done…

As some of you know, I gave up on MS Windows a long time ago.  I have a small partition with Vista on it, but I run openSuse Linux more than 90% of the time.  I have also moved into the realm of Composited…
