Girder 101

This is a good page if you are interested in adding Girder (or have been afraid) to your HTPC setup. What is Girder

National ID Card

I just can’t get my head around this. I most definately don’t agree. We already have plenty of ID cards, just do like the State of Georgia is trying to get passed, and require photo ID (drivers license, etc). The Federal Government already has plenty (too much) information about us as it is. It should…Read more

Avalon Technology Preview

Getting ready to install the Microsoft® “Avalon” and “Indigo” Community Technology Preview. If my system crashes and I don’t post for a couple of days, that is what the problem is.

This is something that has traditionally been controlled by local governments and the…Read more

I don’t like Social Security simply because when I die, my children don’t get to keep my hard-earned cash. Nope, it’s…Read more

The lost camera

Hell yes. Awhile back (last Easter I think, maybe last summer), Stephanie lost our fucking digital camera in Hilton Head. Her friend Niqui found the bastard in a stroller she had been using. Good fing deal. Damn thing cost me $350 and although we have replaced it, the Kodak was much nicer. What I really…Read more

Smoking
