It was probably the early 2000s when someone contacted me via AIM and inquired on my familiarity with Asperger syndrome. This is another one of my “writing down my history” articles, following my Programming for PFS-ICD post. Read the rest of this entry »
A couple of weeks back, I had to rename ~/.kde and ~/.local to fix a whole bunch of issues that had been building up for a long time. Can’t remember specifically what they were by now, but it was necessary.
I own the GuruPlug Server Plus, and have had nothing but problems with it. It stopped acting as a wireless access point, so I had to buy the JTAG hardware to be able to get into the device and fix things. Read the rest of this entry »
When I was running Kubuntu Karmic, I tagged a bunch of images. I’m currently on Kubuntu Lucid. None of my images are tagged. I wonder if the upgrade killed the tags. The tags are still recognized (if I go to tag an image, the old tags are still listed), but no images are tagged. I guess I’ll continue to not tag files.
It’s just as well. Some other images I hadn’t tagged yet, I mass-renamed them from the command line, and that would have wiped out the tags if they had any.
I have a fair number of books on my shelves. Enough that I can’t buy many more without running out of room. My Japanese comics collections already resides in my food cabinet (which is fine, as it isn’t used much for food these days). I bought an Onyx Boox reader which arrived recently, and I’d read some free (out of copyright) books from Project Gutenberg. Read the rest of this entry »
While I have my eye on Clementine, an alpha-release Qt 4 port of Amarok 1.4, I’ve been using Amarok 2 since it became Amarok install of Kubuntu. Read the rest of this entry »
No screenshots because I’m lazy, but I’m trying to figure out searching in Dolphin in KDE SC 4. It’s…interesting. Read the rest of this entry »
Even though there have been e-book readers out for years now, it was Amazon’s Kindle which really introduced them to the public. Barnes and Noble’s Nook appeared as a catch-up competitor, and the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show has brought innovative new takes on the concept. I’ve been considering getting an e-book reader for a few years now, so hopefully the technology will see a price decrease across 2010. Read the rest of this entry »
Continuing trying out software for Windows, I decided to try out the Media Center and playing a DVD.

Recently I was looking on TigerDirect for some computer parts I planned on buying to build a new PC (after having my current one for upwards of probably eight years). I found that “Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007″ is there marked down to a very decent price for “Black Friday”. I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 (ordered when Amazon.com had the pre-order discount) so I can keep up with how things will one day be when businesses can’t keep using Windows XP anymore. So, why not Office 2007?
