Right now I am toying with the idea of putting on my site a fish cam (web cam pointed into my fish tank). I am testing it right now, I want to see if it is posable, and how much bandwidth it will need to do this. Click the read more link to see the[…]
I got invited on a ski trip so I though I would go on it. So I started to look for the stuff I payed for last year when I went snowboarding, that I will never do again. But I could not find any matching gloves, at first. While looking for the second to just[…]
Boy, am I glad I had the Home Dir of my Mac box backed up onto my Linux box. After trying that thing I found to try to get the iTunes working again, it toasted my Mac’s file system. I was able to get most of my data back from the back up. For some[…]
I got in my email today a copy of a story about a lawsuit filed against verizon (I will not be posting it here, if you look around it was posted on the wall street journal and titled “Cellphone Users Sue, Saying Carrier Cut Phone’s Features” and was writen by CHRISTOPHER RHOADS) But what I[…]
I was looking for more information on how to get my iPod to work with the new update of iTunes. At one of the online discussion forums it said to reapply the 10.3.7 OS patch, well, I found out that that was not a good idea, it toasted the file system, so right now I[…]

Well I downgraded the iTunes to 4.7 but what ever the update did, it really borked the system. I ended up blasting my iBook (I had nothing on the iBook everything was on the eMac) resetting up the iBook. Downloaded all of my mp3’s to the iBook (the mp3’s use about 50% of the hard[…]
I just watched the football game and it was intense. All came down to 3 kicks, I am glad the jets missed the first 2 and that the stiller got the 3rd. while watching it I was on the phone with my friend in Findly Ohio, she said she love close games like that one[…]
I just downloaded it today, and wow the problems. When ever I would plug in the iPod to the coputer it would freeze up iTunes and freeze up the OS. I will have to say this is the first time I have seen a Mac freeze. Right now I am working on going back to[…]
Over the time that I have had this computer network going in my place, I have put more and more of a load on my Linux box. Today I have just added my Mac box’s home directory to my Linux box and have it shared to the Mac via NFS. So now the Linux box[…]
Today I picked up more plants for my fish tank. I picked up some Java moss. My plan is to see if I can get it to grow all over the base of the tank where there is no other plant life. I figure this will give a nice look to the base of the[…]
Last night I took some pictures of my fish tank (as talked about in last nights post) well last night I put them in my photo section. I have a few pictures of my fish there; I right now have 10 Red Eyed Tetras and 6 Neon Tetras, and 3 snails, and a lot of[…]
Tonight I tried to take some pictures of my aquarium but I could not get any good lighting for it. I have the normal light for the tank, then I put around it 2 of my lamps and that still was not enough light, the camera was saying it needed 1/8 of a second for[…]
I would like to have access to my iTunes music Library at work. I make it a point to buy my music on my home computer, but then I have to go though all the problem of uploading and manually syncing the 2 libraries. I understand why Apple has disabled the internet sharing, because there[…]
Well a while back I got a game cube. And for Christmas I got a copy of “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker” I am still stuck on the first level (ok I have not played that much either, I have maybe done about 1.5 hours of play on it) and I am finding[…]
To work on getting better in shape, along with getting back on the bike, I went and rejoined the gym I use to be a member of. Went down for the first welcome session that they give “new members” and instead of driving down, I used it as an excuse to ride my bike and[…]
I had a great time this last 4th of July. First I went out and tried to activate a pota, while I failed at it because I made only 4 contacts, and when it got to 100 degrees it was to hot for me to continue, and I had been at it for 2 hours[…]
Well today sony annouced that starting Jan of 2028 that they will end physical media for the playstation. My response is, well I don’t need to buy new games after Jan 2028. And given the rumors about the potental price tag of the PS6, it will save me a lot of money, as I will[…]
I have for over a decade missed riding my bike, this summer is the summer I am going to get back on the bike. I walked my bike down to the corner bike shop to get it tuned up, I really needs it as the last time I used it was back in 2014. I[…]

As noted before when I first got my 3D printer I thought it would be used for some fun things but not as much use as I am using it for, it seems about 3 to 4 times a week I find another thing I can print with it to make things nicer in my[…]
Recently amazon decided to force an update on the Echo Auto, to the stupid Alexa+ I did not want it, months ago when they first tried it you could exit it. But last month they decided that they were going to force it and not let you exit or disable it. I refuse to use[…]
