I’m very happy to announce I’ll be starting a new job this Monday, June 8th, 2009! For my own job security, I’m not going to mention which company. I will say that it’s one of the largest manufacturers of computer hardware components in the world! I’m very excited! I’ll even get [...] I was reading a blog the other day, minding my own business, when I came across this question in the comments section:
Well, that’s half true. I wrote a quick reply, but thought it was an interesting enough question to go a bit more in-depth here. I guess another title for this post could be: How does memory work? Thankfully, writing about the latter would require a lot more typing than I’m willing to do, so I’ll just discuss the original topic in a long-winded way. AT&T Logo I’m an AT&T wireless customer. After heart-ache after heart-ache, I’m still a PacBell Pacbell Wireless Cingular AT&T wireless customer. Not only am I an AT&T customer, but all of my family is too. Conveniently enough, we have a FamilyTalk plan. It works, I suppose. Why is it that multi-billion dollar communication companies don’t care [...] 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. So instead of going through and deleting temporary internet files and the Temp folders myself, I decided to run Windows Cleanup. While I was at it, I decided compressing some old files couldn’t hurt anything either. Bad choice.
Continue reading…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 deserving (no, I don’t have FiOS anymore). Today I have a more realistic view. I’m finally migrating to WPA. But what about that server in my garage? It literally have one wire coming from it, and that’s the power cord. It uses a cheap wireless card I picked up from Best Buy for a song (yes, it is a WG311 compatible card, how did you know?). The antenna sticks out from the back and picks up whatever signal it can find. Since there is no monitor attached, I shut it down (correctly, I use ndiswrapper to use Windows drivers on my Linux box. Why? Excellent question. Because I have to. Well, I don’t have to, but I want a quick-and-dirty solution, and ndiswrapper provides just such an option! On to WPA. In this case, Google is my friend. I came across this article at Ubuntu Portal. Since I run Debian, it wasn’t a stretch to get things going. It was helpful enough for a post. So if you’re in the same situation, check it out. I moved over the weekend. Moving is a lot of work! I’ll get back to posting soon. In the mean time, wish [...] I decided it would be fun to try Boot Camp for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6. No, I wasn’t trying to install Windows. I like Linux much better. But I digress. Sad Mac Icon I launched Boot Camp Assistant, repartitioned my drive, did what I felt needed to be done, had my fun, and got tired of [...] Twitter is certainly popular. I can’t walk down the street without hearing a conversation about it. And if I do succeed in walking a full block without one mention of Twitter, my cell phone will almost certainly ring at least once because of some person’s tweet somewhere. I upgraded my text messaging plan to unlimited just to get tweets. Obsessive, no? I’ve kept up my end of the bargain, but what about Twitter? The title says it all. It’s Friday and I’m going out to do something fun. You should do [...] |
