Unix Tools on Windows

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I do UNIX system administration.  UNIX.  Not just Linux.  I work with FreeBSD, NetBSD, SCO, Irix, and even and old Xenix system every once in a while. I used to use a BSD workstation to do it.  But I got tired of having two machines on my desk.  It’s ...

OneNote and Dropbox Redux

Friday, December 19th, 2008

I’ve been using DropBox.  A lot.  See my older post.  Also, I still think that OneNote from Microsoft is one of the most killer applications to come from ANYWHERE, not just Redmond. Well, I have noticed traffic is way up on my blog here, and was wondering why.

Test Server on Vista

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Laziness rules!

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

I’m basically a lazy person.  I don’t like to expend effort unless: a. I have to. b. I get immediate results. So I have been pretty lax on the blog lately. Lots and lots of things have been happening.  The biggest is that I finally ...

They don’t build em like they used to!

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

A few years ago I bought a pallet of  “retired” computer junk from the University of Missouri. This pallet contained 4 SGI Indigo 2 Extremes, 5 NeXT stations, and a Cube.  It also had a few laser printers on it. Note:  I sold everything but the best SGI ...

Testing windows live writer!

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Ok, I thought that Windows Live Writer, a free offline blog environment from Microsoft, was just a stripped down version of Word. It might be that, but it’s a lot more. True WYSIWYG authoring.  It even grabs my Wordpress theme from the blog, and displays it as I ...

Offline Blogging Software

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I don't like using the web editor built into Wordpress.  It works well, but it's still a web app.  I don't like the look and feel, I want something more along the lines of a word processor.  Besides, how many times have you hit publish and watched your post disappear? I ...

Moved to a new host

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

So i moved to a new webhosting account.  Managing 92 domains from 42gh and the 16 or so of mine on separate hosting was kinda dumb so we merged them on a new vps account on serveint.  I'll let you know how that works out.
