Linux Distro goes hippy
For some time Apple has been considered the hippy of the computing market because it rejected the conventional computing paradigm (read unix, IBM, M$ worlds), and created its own counter culture, much like the original hippies of the sixties.

More Power…
I just had a power interruption lasting all of 2 seconds, but in turn it brought down my server, access point, and broadband modem (and my glorious 104 day uptime). I’ve been thinking about it and watching for a good sale, but have yet to acquire a backup power supply. Do you […]

A game show presents a contestant with 3 doors. Behind one of the doors is a shiny new car. Behind the other 2 are an alternative means of transportation, donkeys.

Euro Champs
Cinderella is the last to leave the Euro cup Ball.
