HOWTOs Standards

access your home computers from anywhere

There comes a time when you are at work, travelling, or somewhere where you “really wish you could access your home computer(s).” Some people are fortunate enough to have static ips so they can simply access their computer by using their static IP. For most of us, we have to deal with dynamic IPs. For […]

UNIX

UNIX/LINUX training update.

Well, two parts of my training done, and two more to go. I have to say, when I saw that I would have to spend 40 hours learning about networking and dns, I was a little worried, but now looking back at it, I really learned a lot and enjoyed what I learned. Who knew?

Apple

iPod Tattoos

Well, I finally made it over to HP’s web site to look at the “iPod tattoos” and interested to see what these actually look like. I was not sure of the actual process, but it looks pretty much like a label, only it goes over the iPod. I see lots of people with iPods on […]

Christmas Wish List

Well, it is that time again. Friends and family want to know what I want, so here it goes in order of interest: A Ping G2 3HL iron to complement my 4HL-SW G2 set. A new Ping G2 3 wood so I can replace my aging 3 wood that no longer can be considered my […]

Google Research

Well, what do you know? Google has built a search engine that will search acedemic papers (Google Scholar). (And I though Lexus-Nexus and the online card catalog was cool) Good job Google!

TV

Seinfeld on DVD, Finally (take 2)

The show full of “what’s the deal with this?” and “can you believe that?” is making me ask the same questions. From reading about the show’s DVD release… I found this deal which advertises all nine seasons for one price, but all the big stores (Best Buy, Amazon.com) are only offering Seasons 1-3 on DVD. […]

Life

Too Busy to Post?

Between my training (I am learning BIND right now, converting my sites to CSS, installing Mandrke Linux 10.1 and trying to prepare the house for my mother’s week stay, I have not been able to do too much fun stuff. I am also trying to finish up Tiger Woods 2004 so I can move onto […]

Serenity Now!

oh canada?

Well. Four more years of Bush, that is a certainty, but as the days go by, Canada is looking better and better.

Serenity Now! Standards

the joys of hotels.

I travel pretty frequently. Not everyone does travel a lot, so I can understand that certain travel specific hassles and the likes would not bother people like it bothers me. Yet, I also drink a lot of water (and Coke (not Pepsi)) so I often have to go to the bathroom. Regardless of how much […]

Places

World of Coca Cola

I have never denied it, I am a complete Coke addict (Coca Cola of course). I love to drink Coke, collect Coke memorbilia (not to the point where it is a problem), and I just love Coca Cola’s history and company in general. When I found out I had a business meeting in Atlanta, I […]

Serenity Now! Standards

perfume is a side, not the main course.

The county tax office, when the deadline for taxes is a few days away, is like the DMV on a good day. Tons of people, no organization, and weird smells. As I was filling out the paperwork for my exemption, a woman sat down next to me. You know the type…no sense of personal space […]
