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
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”
WordPress 1.5
I upgraded my blog from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5, today. The theme is the default, and I’ll probably leave it like that until I decide to rewrite one, myself. I could use the CSS I had previously made, but the theme system is quite different from 1.2, and I’d rather have a theme using the… Continue reading WordPress 1.5
Tired. ~_~
I hereby declare VBScript as evil. It took me forever to debug a beyond simple few lines of code in an ASP file because of a typo. With any reasonable language, the compiler/interpreter would have complained about me using an undeclared variable, and I would have corrected the typo, right away. Anyways, I discovered you… Continue reading Tired. ~_~
In the library…
As fate would have it, the first math quiz/test that I’ve actually been prepared for in maybe 2 or 3 years was cancelled due to a fire alarm, and no time left in the class. I suppose it doesn’t really matter that much, as the studying I did will pay off eventually, anyways. The (e-)commerce… Continue reading In the library…
The Switch
Warning: What follows could be considered extremely “geeky”. If you feel above it, or you simply do not have an interest in it, you might as well skip this lengthy entry. You’ve been warned. Instead of being a good student, this weekend, I watched keynotes given by Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. I know it’s… Continue reading The Switch
