So I downloaded the Ubuntu live-cd, and am currently testing it out. (CD-RWs are great for things like this!) Everyone uses their computer for something different. I use mine for quite a large range of things, so certain features are important when I’m looking at a desktop/distro. Here’s the skinny on what I’ve been messing… Continue reading Ubuntu Live – My Experience

Guh-Nome!
2.10 – joy! My heart almost stopped, today, when $600+ (my Zaurus) jumped out of my jacket pocket and skidded across Burrard and Nelson. After taking my time (the light was green and cars were patiently waiting for me) to ensure I had picked up everything, I nodded “thanks” to the drivers and headed over… Continue reading Guh-Nome!
Sony wants to shuffle
I know this might make somebody cry. 🙂 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/08/169200 Will it compete with Apple’s Shuffle? Well, if the FM tuner is any good, then it may be a fairly attractive alternative to me. But, in my experience, Sony never gets it right on the first try. I’ll have to wait for reviews which will ultimately… Continue reading Sony wants to shuffle
CSS Woes
Dunno how many people are familiar w/CSS, but I’ve recently updated the CSS for my blog. The only things I changed was to increase the base text size (because I like bigger), and add some style to handle the “galleries.” But for whatever reason, the galleries refuse to display correctly on Opera or IE. Here’s… Continue reading CSS Woes
Bachelor Food!
I love food. I enjoy cooking it, and I love eating it! 😀 One of life’s simplest pleasures. As I’ve recently moved out, I’m having to buy all my own stuff to be able to make things. This has the advantage that I can be specific in what I eat, but it has the huge… Continue reading Bachelor Food!
Cube the Cat
My roommate has a cat named Cube. You can see his recent 2nd birthday picture over at Pope’s bloggy-thing. When Cube is not taking up as much of my tiny bed as he possibly can, he’s … well, he’s most likely lounging somewhere else. Ah, the life of a cat. Anyways, here’s some snaps of… Continue reading Cube the Cat
VNC Server on Zaurus SL-C760
Finally got around to setting up a VNC server on my PDA. It freaked me out a little when the first app I tried prevented stylus input. DELETE! So, that was because I was using an old version of fbvncserver made for the zaurus 5500. I have the zaurus SL-C760 (still using default SHARP ROM),… Continue reading VNC Server on Zaurus SL-C760
There’s still no “unsend”
Came home from school to a find a rather amusing MSN message waiting for me: (13:48:33) my_roommate: y’at school? (13:49:03) my_roommate: nveermind, your laptop is here… DUH I’d like to point out that it took a good minute and a half half a minute (ahem) for him to turn his head and realize my laptop… Continue reading There’s still no “unsend”
Untitled
Oh man. I had a midterm, today, in the course I absolutely loath. I didn’t have the greatest amount of confidence, (as I generally suck at the material), but on one question, I wrote the following bold statement: I do not see how this is possible given the conditions. And I repeated the list of… Continue reading Untitled
the new abode
Got a couple plugins (this one, and this one) for WP to make image posting much better. Yay! So, without further ado, here are the requested pics of the new apartment.
