For my birthday, the Boss Mom and the Boss Dad (the lovely Lettuce’s parents) gave me an Ion usb turntable. We haven’t had a working turntable in the house since around the time we moved to Buffalo. The plan is to digitalise the 800 or so l.p.’s we have. And in case anyone was [...]

I’ve decided to start a Linux-oriented blog because I’ve been writing a lot more about Linux here than I first imagined.

OpenSuSe 11.0
I’m a distrowhore. Not as much as I used to be before I started working for RGIS again a year ago in February. Nowaways, I ain’t got time to mess around or even fart around. Since 2000, I think I’ve farted around with over 100 different distro releases. I’ve even [...]

Well, I finally did it. I managed to get the new-upstairs-box running Elive/Debian to share its wireless internet connection to another computer via a wired NIC.
I tried using Firestarter with no luck. Its internet connection wizard wasn’t very wizardly. My guess is the script gets confuzzled by any NIC that isn’t [...]

The Lovely Lettuce and I both love this song:
Today I finally got around to stripping the audio from the original avi that Lettuce posted to Youtube and creating an mp3 of the song with ffmpeg.
