Last nite I downloaded the business card CD edition of the Debian stable net-install CD. I love having an excuse to use those business card CDs!
What I like about this (and wonder why Ubuntu doesn’t offer a net-install CD) is 1) its super light. Anything small enough for a business card CD is impressive [...]
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Darwin Awards. People who show us why ’survival of the fittest’ is as true as its ever been. Well, I propose we put one together for the PC world. I’m drawing a blank on appropriate names, but I nominate myself for this first prize.
My Desktop [...]
For those that do coding regularly and have any need to collaborate you should check out Pastebin. It’s a sweet little code-collaboration app based on .php that allows you to paste snippets of code to share with others.
The cool thing about this pastebin (there are a few variations) is that this allows for syntax highlighting [...]
The Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu teams are proud to present a second Beta release of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu 6.06 LTS, codenamed “Dapper Drake”. This release corrects some serious flaws in the installer present on the Desktop CD in the first Beta release. Although thetext-mode install CD also forms part of this release, it has not been modified [...]
So I didn’t get to bed until past 1:00am last nite but I did get wireless working in Dapper Beta 2.
I finally used the bcm43xx-fwcutter package and used the included script found at: /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh.
I also added a little script to handle some of the oddities included in the new setup. Note: I do not use [...]
Continuing from a previous entry I’m trying to decide what to do with my driveless (is that a term?) notebook. Its a decent machine (HP Pavillion ze1210) but the HDD recently crashed. I’ve been running DSL 2.2b on it, but haven’t used it too much yet. I’m not sure what the best use for it [...]
Tonite I tried yet again to enable wireless networking in Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. I have been using it w/o a hitch since v5.04 but, for whatever reason, it doesn’t work in 6.06. I’ve tried Flight 3, 4, 5, 6, Beta & Beta 2. No luck. I don’t know what they’ve changed [...]
(Disclaimer: not at all ‘nerd’ related but local and fa-reakin’ hilarious)
Employees are returning to work this morning at the sight of a domestic dispute that turned violent. Police say a woman drove her SUV through a building near 700 East and 4000 South and chased down her husband. She is in jail this morning on [...]
In a continuation from my previous post I’m still trying to find a good solution for a rotating header. I wanted to stay away from flash. Partly because I’m not very familiar with flash & I wanted to be a little more universally compatible. I’ve tried an animated .gif, which works, but its 800K! Not [...]
I’ve been working on a site for a client and, of course, he likes all of the flashy, well, flash sites out there. He wants something similar but I’m trying to stay away from flash if possible. I thought using an animated banner .gif would be close enough. What do you think? I basically need [...]
