I’ve added some slide presentations, with the help of Slideshare.net, to the Writings section. There is a presentation on using PmWiki for Project Management and a presentation on using WordPress as a CMS. I’ve also added a slide presentation on my book site on GIMP and Linux in Hollywood. Comments, […]

Back in late 2006 I bought an Aiptek 12000U drawing tablet to work with GIMP.  I had limited success back then and put the tablet back in the box.  I pulled it out again the other night to give it another try.  Without any additional configuration the wireless mouse worked […]

Judging from the most used searches and posts  (thank you wordpress stats), interest in the Intel Xorg. driver is extremely high.  While it’s easy to see that’s true on the X.org mailing list, looking at my own blog stats was the first time I realized other end users were having […]

I was reading various web sites today when I came across an article on ComputerWorld discussion the 5 best features of Linux 2.6.28.  On of these items is GEM, the Graphics Execution Manager.  This is a new architecture of sorts that allows for better X performance (in a nutshell).  Why […]

My problems with the intel driver provided in the F10 distribution have been resolved.  I had to compile the driver manually, along with the libdrm prerequisite, but it was rather painless and surprisingly easy to accomplish.  MythTV is now happily serving up live TV and videos on my laptop monitor […]

I’m a constant tinkerer on my computers.  While I hate system administration I like to experiment with things.  But a computer is a virtual world.  What you get is visual and (in some cases) auditory.  You don’t get a hands on feeling.  You don’t really build something substantial.  I think […]

Over the holidays I upgraded my laptop to Fedora 10 (previously I had only upgraded my MythTV server).  The upgrade went fairly smoothly following the information from my previous post on upgrading a MythTV server to F10.  However, my laptop supports dual monitors.  Of course, that didn’t work out of […]

Finding off the shelf supported hardware is a tough task for Linux.  The problem with such lists is that they often include hardware that you can no longer purchase from retails outlets.  So it’s easier to get a list of what the outlets have available and then search the list […]

Migrations to new releases of Fedora are not a huge problem for me since I use a separate partition for system files (including repository managed packages) and separate partitions for home directories (/home), multimedia files (/store and /music), and web server root directories (also under /home).   About the only […]
