So in the past three nights I’ve installed linux three times on my desktop. My laptop’s hard drive died and I needed to get a linux system up to date. I have a slightly broken version of Ubuntu on my desktop (tons of beryl add on packages cluttering up stuff) so I decided to try [...]

My Laptop’s hard drive died on me. It was beeping at me the other day and I had no idea what it was. Turned out it was my hard drive. Since then it hasn’t been able to boot. I’m hoping it’s some booting problem and rewriting the MBR later with a live cd will fix [...]

The Debian/Firefox issue is pissing me off. The stance of both companies is normal but the comments made by users. NO ONE understands the issue. They just yell at each other for one side or the other with mis-information, thereby spreading it. One person even mentioned (as a comment to a mozilla blog) Debian’s iceweasel [...]

Finally we have a GOOD mpd music client! Check this out! This is a mpd
frontend allowing me to use MPD, which I love.
I use quod libet for tagging my files now. The tagging library is
really nice and cool to use. It can do tagging from file names and
file names from tags etc. Great stuff. [...]

I think I want this.
Anyone own one and can speak for it? I don’t care about photos and movies at ALL, but I can’t seem to find any decent players that don’t include them. The look of this thing is excellent! Most non-ipod players look horrible but this one looks plain awesome. I want to [...]

So Emacs pulls through and it looks like I can easily create code snippets in Wordpress by using the blockquote HTML tag and then just copying in the emacs-generate html code that you can generate using the htmlize emacs package. Seems to work great!

(defun gnome-open ()
“Opens the current buffer’s file with gnome-open”

So I’m newly dedicated to learning two new things: Ruby and Emacs. With Ruby also comes Rails of course
I just purchased kelsin.net so I want to get that site up soon. You can tell if you go there now that it only has a newly installed Rails default page loaded. I’m currently compiling [...]

It’s been awhile since I last posted. Sorry about that. I guess a lot has gone on.
The main topic for this post: Fedora
I wrote last time (such a long time ago!) about how I had found Arch linux and I also mentioned how I hate rpm distros… well let me start from that point. Arch [...]

So in my never-ending search for a great linux distrobution I’ve found ArchLinux.
Let me list my problems with the other distrobutions I’ve used:

Fedora: Nothing against the Red Hat people but I hate RPM distros. I love a bunch of the software developed originally for Red Hat and I use a lot of it (going [...]

So I missed my dentist apointment that was at 10:00am today. I was watching TV and then at like 10:05 went “OH SHIT” and ran upstairs to call them up. I said I could get there in like 10 minutes but they said they’d rather reschedule. I have no idea if they charge for that [...]
