I fished this out of an old blog of mine. It still generates hits (believe it or not) after it’s original posting on September 10, 2006. I lost the images associated with the post, but was able to recover the body.
Last night I noticed that my C: drive (Windows 2000) was getting a little cluttered. [...]

I have a Debian server sitting in my garage, and I just updated my wireless router. Once upon a time I used WEP for all my wireless security needs. Yes, it was rather simple of me, but it did its job. At the time I had FiOS and felt worldly enough to share to those [...]

I moved over the weekend. Moving is a lot of work! I’ll get back to posting soon. In the mean time, wish me luck.

This is a note worthy day! I received my first comment SPAM! Exciting, no? Well, ok, not really. But it does mean that search engines are returning my posts. Go that.

I’ve been using Twitter for a long time now. Some time during my usage, I became totally addicted. It all started while sitting at a beach-side bar in Huntington Beach, CA with a friend.
