I just saw a commercial on TV for windows. And from what they commercial said I am sure the people that worked on it was thinking of Linux when they made it. Why do I say this? Well one of the older FUD’s from MS is, “Linux is nice but there is no software for[…]
I have been considering subscribing to one of the programming journals out there. Right now the 2 journals I am thinking about are 1 “Dr. Dobbs” and 2 “C/C++ Users Journal” I picked up a copy of both tonight when I was out with some friends at the South Side works. I figure I will[…]
I spent the night doing a lot of coding, some great code, if I say so myself. But my code is dependent on 3 Libraries, one written by me, and 2 others by other people. I include the headers for the first library, all is fine, and works well, I include the next library, and[…]
Well it came out in some newspaper that Bush uses an iPod. In my option a non-story, who cares what music play the President uses. Yet I seen a lot of liberals on-line today say that 1) the iPod is not cool anymore 2) they will not use an iPod since Bush uses one. Come[…]
It is nice that the weather is starting to get warmer now. I have had about a week of great weather here in Pittsburgh. I been getting out on the bike more, for the last 4 days, I have gotten at lest 3 hours of biking in a day. When I was younger I did[…]
I found this post on Backup DNA on another blog. Would it not be cool if humans did have this same backup DNA built in. If humans did, maybe we could find a way to cause the backup to be brought forth. This probably would have to be done very early in a womans pregnancy.[…]
I am going to say something controversial here. I love debugging; I find it fun and very interesting. It is like a puzzle to solve. When you think you have found the problem, you find that you are only chipping at the tip of the iceberg. And to do debugging on a multi-thread program makes[…]
One of the internet radio stations I like has started to do pod casting. The station is KFUO, and the radio show I really like is Issues Etc. It will be nice since I can not listen to it in full live, I can now at lest have it downloaded automatically to my computer and[…]
I just tried to compile the kernel of BSD, and I got linker errors, I have never gotten an error on the linker while compiling a kernel, what is up with the BSD kernel?? I would love to spend the time figuring this beast out, but I don’t really have the time for that, I[…]
I am trying to get the BSD system going, and it not working as well as I has hoped. It does not see my network card, and if I can not get it to see the network card I will have to bail on the BSD idea. I would like to use BSD for it,[…]
I am back working on the VPN now; I am looking at putting a BSD flavor on it. From what I can get form some of my friends on wplug, I might be going with FreeBSD and see how it goes, that is the nice thing about getting another unused computer for the server, you[…]
Well three things have happened as of late that made me think about how we keep our pictures today. I was in the past the only way to lose your memories (pictures) was to a disaster such as a flood or a fire. Now we don’t only have that to worry about, but we have[…]
So far as it stands I have not finished working with the VPN yet. I have made some progress, I know which type of VPN I want, and how I am going to do it, I now just have to recompile the Linux kernel to get the stuff I want done, I have not done[…]
This weekend I am hoping to be able to start reading the VPN book I got at the cplug security conference, and maybe have some thing setup so I can have full access to my home network and shutdown all the other ports I have open up at home, I am thinking the few ports[…]
I had an interesting dialog box pop up on iTunes today, I got some Celtic Hymns today, and more then I care to admit here. When it finished downloading the music it popped up a dialog box with the following message “Your Music is important, Please back it up”. I was kind of taken aback[…]
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[…]
WEll today I found how bad the internet has made things. First I was tring to buy something at microcenter, tried to use samsung wallet. Well again it wanted me to open unlock the phone so it chould show me some random ad. I did that quickly and quickly closed the phone and tried again,[…]
Years ago I use to have a radio shack police scanner, but since most places have gone to digital/trunced system, it no longer worked. So today while I was at Ham Radio Outlet, I deceded to get one that they had as a open box deal. It is a Uniden BCD436HP. It is a nice[…]
(Originally posted this over on my ham radio only site https://kb3hcg.radio) Well I found a good reason to have both 2m and 70cm calling freqs progreammed into ones mobile radio when traveling. I always knew the value of 2m National calling Freq, I found out that having the 70cm National calling freq also is also[…]
At around 8:30pm a fire broke out in the apartment below the one I live in. Good news is the damage appently is only in that apartment, the rest of the apartments have been deamed livable, so at 10:30pm we were able to return to our homes. My poor cat was scared by all the[…]
I been getting so many scam calls lately it was once a week, then 2 times a week then once a day, today I got 5. I am so tired of it I just want to block all phone calls. I have found that if I put my phone in do not disturb, I can[…]
For a bit over 10 years I have wanted to get a 3D printer. Last Sunday I was down at Microcenter and the bambu A1 combo was on sale. So I picked it up with some Filament. I thought it would be fun to maybe try to make some stuff. But what I did not[…]
I saw an video recently on youtube where someone was complaining that hobbies have been ruined in recent years, he made his argument. I personally reject his argument. His argument is that influincers on either on Youtube or tiktoc have made it where people feel they have to spend a lot of money to get[…]
A while back my dad was going to get rid of his old telescope as the cover on it would not come off. I had help from a friend to get it off, but it does come off now. All that was missing at that point was an eye piece for it, and I found[…]
