The Blog Capacitor
How would you like a free service that let you easily show all revisions and edits (versions) of your blog posts? I would. Blogging software (even the all mighty WordPress) does not come ‘out of the box’ with extensive version control. How would you like to never worry about losing your database ever again? Read [...]
Hyperactive, or .. bored?
Reflexes are good. Reflexes enable us to do things without thinking, such as pulling our hand away from something that is too hot to touch. Instinct is good, instinct helps us to do things that are good for us (besides the whole business of reproduction, that’s for another post) such as eating and sleeping. The [...]
ISO : Mom-and-Pop geek shops
I’m looking for some small businesses who sell all things geek and offer open ended affiliate programs. I thought about Comission Junction, as well as others, however I prefer to deal only with small businesses.

So what, to my wondering eyes did appear to my old Pentium 4 and 8 tiny reindeer? Kconfig (aka make menuconfig) seems a [...]
My little license crisis
I’m up to my ears in software license politics. There are many people ‘pushing and shoving’ in the legal arena where free software is developed. In one corner, Richard Stallman, steadfast as ever holding on to the ideals of the GPL. In another is Linus Torvalds who hates those ideals but loves the license. Then [...]
Dora? Bah, Get them a flashlight.
