My life hasn't been too crazy recently. In the last few months we've gotten new bedroom and living room furniture, as well as a 52" TV. It's probably a bit too large for the room but I like it. I didn't work for FexEx this winter, so I've spent the entire winter lay-off home ( Read more... )

I believe that may be the first time I've actually used "ftw", but it is. FreeDOS + newfound use of network booting allows for floppy drive and otherwise pain-free bios flashing. I didn't bother to figure out the method on my own but used this blog post: Read more... )

When Rachel bought her computer about 4 years ago (the one I'm now using as a linux laptop), she bought a 3-in-1 printer for what she now considers way too much money. Well, the other day, I woke up and thought I heard a small case fan going, even though both computers and all their ( Read more... )

Stupid holidays and books (first for pushing my bedtime back two days in a row, last for distracting me from fixing it, book title is Kushiel's Chosen for those that may care). I have been on the phone here at work with the same lady now for 2 hrs trying to figure out why Outlook Express won ( Read more... )
