It looks like the server move was a good idea. At some point this morning my home server lost connectivity. Actually, I can’t talk to either of my home servers, which indicates any combination of: Power failure Network failure related to Comcast DHCP change (also related to Comcast Internal network failure, such as my cable… Read More »
So… I’ve been using a Samsung Captivate for a couple years now. It’s the only Android phone that I’ve used to this point (my previous 2 phones were Windows Mobile), and I’ve been pretty happy with it. Especially once I dropped CyonogenMod 7 on it so I could actually use a bluetooth headset properly with… Read More »
I screwed up something with the DNS transfer, so oddball and I aren’t getting any mail. We can send, but cant receive. I’ll fix it as soon as I can, but we get a low volume of mail. 😀 EDIT: We can get email now, but for some reason comment notifications aren’t coming through. Not… Read More »
Up at 0430. On purpose. Ran a 5k. Mostly. Went to the gun show. Surprisingly few guns. The only thing I came home with was for the dog. Moved blog from a self hosted solution to a hosting provider. I was already paying for the space and didn’t want to have downtime again. Dinner with… Read More »
A bit back, my friends at the Hacker Consortium got themselves a laser engraver/cutter similar to this one. So I did what any rational person would do.

The two top I considered ended up being the Fenix PD20 and the 4Sevens Quark MiniX 123. I ultimately went with the PD20 after… Read More »
This is what you get if you try to go to everyone’s favorite new gunblog social media network website: H/T to Bubblehead Les in comments at SayUncle’s.
I recently got an email from the developer of a new iPhone app asking if I would review it. I can’t really do that with an Android phone, so he offered to send me a press release instead. Nice guy, one-man shop, and hits two of the three topics I cover? DEAL! Introducing A New… Read More »
Due to some of the comments on the last post about my disaster thumb drive, I figure this would be relevant to your interests. I present to you what I think is the perfect thumb drive to use as a Linux install/run from flash drive: 4GB penguin drive And yes, that is what I’m currently… Read More »
Tam and Uncle both mentioned someone raising the idea of including electronics in you bug out kit. Me being me, I figured I’d throw in my two cents. Especially since, while I wasn’t one of those hit by the little bit of rain here in Nashville last year, I did have to quickly evacuate in the middle of the night… Read More »
