So after a bit more Googling, I took another look at FUPPES. The “release” (SVN-578) seems quite a bit more stable. The version I was working with is SVN-634, which is the latest from the author’s subversion repository. It still has the mostly the same pros and cons. The stable version doesn’t automatically watch directories, though. So the… Read More »
After doing quite a bit of research on media players in 2007, I convinced Jessica to get me a D-Link DSM-520 for Christmas that year. Since then, I’ve made most of our DVD collection and all of our music “on-demand”. Well, sort of. Things still have a long way to go in the whole “digital entertainment” arena. The… Read More »
Well, the last two years have been…..Interesting. This is just a quick update to give the site a recent post and start to get back into the whole blogging thing again. Things have been extremely hectic for the last two years. Some good things have happened, some bad, but mostly just busy. I haven’t wanted to spend much… Read More »
I’ve been running Linux as my primary desktop since about 1996 (switching from OS/2 when IBM started dropping support for it), and running Linux servers since early 1994 (my first Slackware system was running Linux Kernel 0.99pl15). Over the years I’ve tried many of the various distributions including Slackware (which is what I started with), Caldera, Debian, SuSE,… Read More »

Evans: [W]hen a judge calls an argument “ridiculous” or “frivolous,” it is absolutely the worst thing the judge could say. It means that the person arguing the position has absolutely no idea of what he is doing, and has completely wasted everyone’s time. It… Read More »
Woot! We finished Jessica’s room to the point where we moved her computer into it. We got the floor cleaned up and the baseboards put back on yesterday: Its somewhat disturbing to note that my wife matches her room. Pink on the top and bottom, black in between (posted with her permission, lest I be killed): And finally… Read More »
So its that time of year again. The air is crisp, the days are much shorter, and the grass in the back yard is covered in leaves from the neighbor’s trees. Tonight shivering street urchins will be knocking at the door in a variety of costumes begging for candy. My candy. Not yours. Can’t have. Okay, fine, you… Read More »
We got the first coat of paint on the walls on Sunday and the room immediately transformed, still no appropriate adjectives — Jessica says that her choices for colors escape description. Of course now she wants a theme song, too. Something that speaks to her personality. The Pinky and the Brain theme song comes closest for her, I… Read More »
After Jessica saw what I had posted today, we had the following IM conversation: [11:55:49 AM] <Truffle> there’s a gnome in the first set of pics [11:56:05 AM] <gottafixthat> LOL. Of course there is. [11:56:12 AM] <Truffle> gack! [11:56:18 AM] <gottafixthat> [11:56:20 AM] <Truffle> oh, and I’m mad at you [11:56:24 AM] <gottafixthat> Why? [11:56:33 AM] <Truffle> you… Read More »
