Touchscreen, Ubuntu, The EeePC, and me…
Tonight I write from a stance of (near) total victory. This post is to mark the fact that I have accomplished installing and ‘properly’ configuring Ubuntu 8.04, code named Hardy Heron, on my EeePC with a fully functional, self installed touchscreen. I am using the Ubuntu “Netbook Remix”, and it ROCKS the Touchscreen!! Next, to…
It’s Touch!!
Well, I did it! What did I do? I successfully added on a touch-screen to my EEE PC, that’s what! I ordered one off Ebay (for those keeping track, I ordered kiddshop’s, the transmittance and slim screen sold me), and I had to solder some of the wires and connections (FIRST TIME EVER), and it…
My new EeePC!!!
I got one!! one what? One of these cool new Eee PC’s, that’s what! Cool little 7″ screen, all solid state hard drive, a whopping 2G of ram in mine, and soon…a bad-ass touch-screen. Seriously, watch these ultra-mobile pc’s hit the market in a big way. They are inexpensive, very portable, and just plain cool….
To blog or not to blog…
It’s been all quiet on my blog for quite some time, so I thought I should make a post. I should blame school for this, but the fact of the matter is that I am just not so certain as to what direction to take this blog. I know I have the whole “technical progress”…
I’ve been hit!!!

Yeah…somehow being spammed from a Win95 box is sexy…and dirty…and…I think I need a…
Drupal 6?
Well, so Drupal 6 came out yesterday, the day of my daughter’s birthday! Right, so I did absolutely nothing with Drupal, but we took Savannah shopping, and I made her favorite dinner, and we all went to go see a cheesy movie. 🙂 She’s 11! ((and I’m feeling old)) The big deal is that I…
Blogging Visibility
Ok, so in an effort to improve my blog’s visibility, and the site’s visibility in general, I am using technorati. My profile being a typical Technorati Profile.What else have I done? Well, there is a module called “XML sitemap” that allows you to submit the sitemap with google, microsoft, yahoo, ask.com and the like every…
Panic Moment
What do you do when you try to access your drupal site from school and all you get are blank white pages with no source and the absence of any 404 error or whatever? You promptly go outside, and smoke a dozen cigarettes, unless you just quit, then you clench your teeth together and freak…
Almost sold out…
Well, I almost did it. As a matter of fact, I did do it, for a little bit…I sold out. One of the reasons I made this site was to stay away from using any 3rd party hosted services. I wanted to be able to host my own site, with my own blog, calendar, forums,…
