Anti-SPAM! or How I secured NousEssence
SPAM! Why should I have to worry about spam, right? This is a pretty low traffic site (sigh) and who’s going to spam on me? I had a post a bit ago about passing a spam right of passage and enabling a bit of security to get around it. Well, the spam dude was not…
Ubuntu 8.04 – Hardy Heron (with Netbook remix) on the EeePC 701 4G Surf (with touch screen)
So, as promised, here are the steps I took to get Ubuntu 8.04 – hardy Heron installed on my Asus EeePc 701 4G Surf.

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…

To blog or not to blog…

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,…
