Switch to Linux Parody

I mentioned this flash cartoon (spoof on the Mac commercials) to some of you guys at the BBQ. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. It’s hilarious. I’m Christer, and I’m a supervillian.

I’ve been having trouble getting XGL / Compiz running but I think I’ve figured it out. For anyone with an nVidia card this *should* work for you. This tutorial is based on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper) and my nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 card. In an attempt not to flood the Utah Open Source Planet I’ve… Read More »

Dvorak

Today I decided to try out the Dvorak keyboard layout. From what I’ve read it sounds like it could improve my performance and help avoid in repetetive stress injuries, but we’ll see how that goes. I have decided to use Dvorak for the month of June and track my results. I will test myself and… Read More »

Window resizing and the web

I just wanted to vent about one of my biggest pet peeves in life. This drives me crazier than just about anything else. Worse than people who don’t use their blinker!

Two more test subjects

I picked up two new (new to me) machines this evening. Big wave over to Steve. He picked up a PIII from a BYU liquidation and later decided he didn’t need it so I picked it up. I guess it was a Buy 1 Get 1 sale because he threw in a PII as well.… Read More »
