WindowBlinds Argument

Posted in September 28th, 2004
Published in General

If there is one thing you should know about me, it’s if I know something is right and someone says I am wrong, I will make every effort to prove my point and persuade the other person to either (1) agree to disagree, or (2) correct themselves and learn from their mistake. That’s pretty much [...]

Best Buy Application Reply

Posted in September 27th, 2004
Published in General

Some of you may remember wayyy back in June I wrote about my rants on Best Buy and their application process. Since then I think I can say the number one reason people find my blog is by searching for “Best Buy Application” or “Best Buy”. As of today, 70% of the referring searches have [...]

************************************************
This section of the blog is hereby dedicated
to my fridge that died early this morning.
Now we won’t get another fridge until
Friday. At least this new one has the water and
ice dispensor on the outside…
************************************************
I think I can say without a doubt that today was the longest day ever at work. It seemed to just go [...]

Posted in September 23rd, 2004
Published in General

I totally made a bad move today trying to get a higher resolution in Gentoo. I downloaded new ATI drivers and ran their little auto-configuration utility. Then I copied this new configuration file on top of my old one, started up the X Server, and all hell broke loose.

Bad move for Dell

Posted in September 23rd, 2004
Published in General

I’m glad I’m not in the market for a new PDA, because if I was, I’d be torn.
To be honest, I’ve been very satisfied with Dell and their support and their products and the like. I’m on my second laptop from them (the first one I sold to my brother so I could buy this [...]

Gentoo

Posted in September 22nd, 2004
Published in General

This is day number 2 of using nothing but Gentoo on my laptop…
What is Gentoo, you say? Why, it is Linux. You compile it all yourself so it’s customized to your exact specifications. (What is Linux you say? Why, I suggest Google.) On Tuesday I got KDE/GNOME/windowmaker up and running. I have since chosen to [...]

Monkey speak

Posted in September 21st, 2004
Published in General

The saying goes: if an infinite number of monkeys typed on an infinite number of typewriters, eventually all the great works of mankind would emerge. Now, with today’s high speed computers, we can finally test this theory…
