William Shatner: Not a Has Been.

A few weeks back, someone put up a complete Star Trek and STNG laser disc and movie collection on FreeCycle… we grabbed it… someone else got the Babylon 5 LaserDisc series (but that’s o.k., becasue that person is a B5 fanatic). All 80 episodes of The Original Star Trek, and all 168 episodes of ST:NG. […]

Japanese design domestic robot

It is called “wakamaru”. $14,000 USD. 100 of them to be sold. I’ve read through the site, and damned if I can tell what it actually does that is at all useful (let alone $14,000 worth of useful)… it appears to have functionality vaguely equivalent to a PDA. It can wake you up at […]

New wallet: made of duct tape.

Ducti Triplett… mega cool - comes with lifetime warranty… it wears out, I send it off to the company with $5.50 for s/h, they send me a new one (cool, eh?). Poverty sucks, but my old wallet was on it’s last legs, coming apart at the seams, literally. Not even sure how many years I’ve […]

Check this out: weird side effect of Google integration into Firefox

The integration of Google into Firefox, such that entering a keyword
into the URL bar results in an automatic redirection to the first result
returned from Google, has a really ironic side effect: any malformed
link of the form, http://http://www.whatever.com will wind up routing
people to www.microsoft.com (the first search result returned by Google
for “http”).
See http://www.thomasleavitt.org/test.html for an example […]

Reading in progress…

A Quarter Century of Unix, by Peter H. Salus
Operating Systems: Design and Implementation, by Andrew S. Tannenbaum … this is the 1st edition, 1987, so I’m sure it is a bit out of date, but it is still a fascinating and educational read…

My Score on Global Knowledge Online Quiz

Took this test at http://www.globalknowledge.com/howbright/ - interesting test, mostly fairly basic questions… some of them going into areas of networking expertise/knowledge that have been pretty much out of my domain. I missed 4 of 20 questions, which I guess isn’t terribly bad.
Thank you for taking our IT Expert Challenge. You missed 4 questions. Your score: […]

Knoppix

For over a year now, I’ve been running Knoppix as my primary computer operating system… after my anti-virus program went crazy and ate my Windows XP installation, I just couldn’t face reconstructing it. So I burnt a copy of Knoppix to CD, and off I went. Never looked back - never even bothered installing to […]
