Home Owner’s Tax Exemption

After talking to one of my more resourceful co-workers, I found out that our county offers a nice tax exemption for home owners…but you need to sign up to get this tax break…in person at the county tax office. I am not sure how common this is around the country, but it is definitely something […]

An Interesting Time

I have a post in mind but I need to gather some data before I get into it. Time to call the grandparents and parents for some generational points of views. Until then, check out an article on boingboing.net: Kerry concedes.

A Proud Day

It is once again the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Novemeber. I was proud to turn in my punched ballot this morning before I went to work, and I hope this election charges the country up for future elections because every vote does count.

Not that I would ever use this…the thought of someone knowing, or possibly knowing my keystrokes is not appealing, but the concept it pretty cool. On another note, I also found a good article on ssh, check it out if you care about security.

css, a voyage.

Oh my. Well, by blog was getting ugly with all of my leftover CSS problems, so I decided to sit down and figure this out. I have 95% of all this figured out, still some problems with Firefox and the li dots. I am not happy with the word/letter spacing, but who knows. All this […]

Apple Hints HOWTOs UNIX

configuring ipfw on mac os x 10.3.

Sometimes the GUI is awesome. Sometimes you just need more control over your conf files that the GUI offers. I wanted to have more specific firewall rules for my computers and servers running Mac OS X Client, more than the default OS X 10.3 built-in firewall configuration that is provided. First, let’s look at all […]

Apple replacement parts.

Well, every once and awhile you will need a part for your computer. Perhaps your dog trips on the PowerBook power cord, and makes you test your reflexes, but your good reflexes cause the PowerBook’s screen to flip back causing the metal…yes metal to break. At this point you would be looking for a top […]
