What do I do with livejournal?
The new Ubuntu Linux uses a microblogging platform called Gwibber which connects to Facebook, Twitter, Qaiku, and StatusNet hosts. It can also access Digg (not sure how that works) and also connects to FriendFeed (which can connect to just about anything that publishes via RSS) and finally Flickr, which I don't use as I tend to stick with Google's ( Read more... ) -
Happy chance find at the dollar store
While a friend of mine was getting her hair coloured and cut (and I graciously came by to hang out during this ordeal) I dropped by the local dollar store. As butterbee would be quick to point out, dollar stores can be freakin' awesome.
Well, I found a 3-d puzzle of an aircraft carrier. And not only is any aircraft carrier, it's the Soviet Heavy Aircraft ( Read more... ) -
Moving -- need driver for uhaul
I can't pick up the u-haul for Sunday, August 30 before 4:30 pm as I work until 6pm. I can't drive it anyway; I need a little help with a driver, I can pay for it tho. -
Check
I really should be on this more, considering I'm good friends with a number of people through here.
It's not like I'm on facebook as much either.
So when you say "I posted this to my livejournal, didn't you read it?" well, I am trying to be better at following along. -
I should get this looked at by a professional.
I have this twitch that keeps recurring in my right eyelid; it's been around for a long time and it's never really gone away. Lately though it's been happening a lot, and it's driving me completely batshit crazy. -
I may post here again
I found someone who posts here regularly. Which means I, the lemming that I am, need to post here regularly. Need to figure out how to cross-post from LJ to Facebook, I've seen people do it. -
Poor Man's Pizza
Found an interesting cheap recipie today, Poor Man's Pizza. It's essentially quickie flatbread with some toppings. From none other than James Barber, the Urban Peasant. I always liked that guy when I watched him on TV when I was a kid for some reason... must have been his natty accent and the ever-present grin that says "I really like my job ( Read more... ) -
Reznor must give execs fits
This may be old news, but I just learned about it today.
Nine Inch Nails is releasing multitrack audio to their latest studio album, Year Zero, for fan remixes. From their site: "As a reward for stealing Year Zero, we've prepared the next batch of audio files for you to download." The GarageBand stuff is hosted on Apple.com, but the generic ( Read more... ) -
Home Theatre PC on the Cheap
www.geexbox.orgThis little linux distro is a live CD (only 7 megs in size, loads totally into ram then ejects the disc) geared to do only one thing: play digital media. DivX, XviD, mp3, Windows Media, Ogg, DVDs, CDs, shoutcast streams... it pretty much takes everything you can throw at it, except for stuff crippled through DRM. It also connects ( Read more... ) -
Free-ish long distance
I've signed up for Jajah, which is a low-cost VoIP program. Get this, though -- between callers with Jajah accounts, as long as you stick to a voluntary fair-use policy (i.e. don't make several calls for several hours a day, every day) and both parties are in a list of 42 countries, it's free as in free beerEven the paid calling rates are usually ( Read more... )
