Should I join Facebook? Do many of you use it? I’ve never even been to the site. I’m not real big into social networks. I have a Myspace account, but don’t really use it. I have a Pownce account, but don’t really use it. I’ve always heard that Facebook is less aesthetically appalling than Myspace. [...]
Snow Crash
I finished reading “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson last night. It’s a pretty good book. In a lot of ways, I was less impressed by it than I thought I would be. I think part of the problem is, is that I’m reading it 15 years after it was published. Some of the technology and [...]
Ed-U-Cated
Recently, I’ve gotten all my different financial aid loans together and consolidated and have one lump payment to make. So now, just when I have this all cleaned up i”ve decided to mess it all up again and go back to school! Last I knew, I was about 15-18 credits short of my BS in [...]

Vista Bloooows!
Ok, well despite my earlier efforts I was STILL having problems with Vista. Regardless of how many services and programs I shut off, the CPU was under 100% load at all times. This is totally crazy for a 2GHZ processor with 2GB of Ram. The had drive had over 30GB free. Every single Vista extra [...]
Vista Update
Ok, I think I got my work laptop back up and running. I reinstalled the Ati video card driver and uninstalled a few things and the computer seems to be running at a respectable rate. We will see how it goes. Vista is the debil!
Linux
Over the last few weeks I have taken that step beyond regular geek to super geek as I’ve been immersed in the world of Linux. I initially installed Ubuntu 6.10, Edgy Eft, on my HP zv5000 laptop a few months back. I was amazed at how easy the install went and how quickly in completed. [...]
