In a twist of fate that I personally found less than humorous, on Tuesday I had to use an article I’d just submitted to Linux Journal to recover from my own stupidity. I had just submitted an article on doing automated backups to Linux Journal (due out in the March) […]
Yearly Archives: 2009
I got word in late November that Linux Journal had accepted two more proposals for articles. The last acceptance (in mid November) was for an article to be published in issue 190 (Desktop) which I wrote and submitted without a proposal. The next two are for issues 191 (Systems Administrations) […]
Two more articles in the queue at Linux Journal
Despite the obvious geek bent of my blog it would appear, based on web stats, that once a year I'm far more popular for my Deptartment 56 village setups than I am for Linux and open source. The spike in visitors isn't huge but its obvious and they're all headed […]
Less Geek, More Art
I’ve opened a little shop on CafePress called Go Geek Early. I’ve made a few small designs and I’m working on some more. This is just a way to generate a little extra cash to help, for example, get my kid a beater car while she’s up at college. It’s […]
CafePress: Go Geek Early
I’ve added copies of the final image from each of the last four tutorials I did for Linux Format’s GIMP column. These are the last of the series, as Linux Format is putting the coumn to sleep for now. They said it might come back later. For now, however, I’ll […]
LXF Gallery updated and updating my
There is a discussion ongoing in the GIMP Developer mailing list about rumors of the Ubuntu distribution removing GIMP from the base installation in an upcoming release. The reasoning is that GIMP is a professional application and should only be included as add-on software similar to how Photoshop is not […]
What Linux Users Need. Or Not.
I just got word that another article of mine has been accepted by Linux Journal. It should be published in February with the Desktop focused issue. The article is on the various ways to access remote Linux applications and have them display locally. For those who don’t know: there is […]
Another LJ article in the pipe
I’ve publicly opened the XNotesNG project. The CVS, forums and related are on SourceForge but their policies for web services are restrictive to what I wanted to set up so I also registered xnotesng.org, set up a blog and wiki and pointed the SourceForge web stuff to that. The blog […]
Public opening of XNotesNG project
I’ve just read that Google has signed an agreement with Twitter to include tweets in their search results. Now, I think Google has done some pretty clever things so far such as Google Maps. But while I have no problem with Google adding features like this to their search engine, […]
Google oversearch
I’ve been having problems with my external USB drives used on my MythTV backend. The drives are no longer being recognized on bootup. This started happening after I added additional 500GB and 1TB drives to the system when there was already a 500GB drive. All of the drives are USB […]

My kiddo is off to a good start at Eastern Washington, where she’s playing tennis on scholoarship. She did great in doubles (that’s her in the photo) this past weekend to follow up an even better run in singles the weekend before. Go Eags! Related posts USTA investing millions in […]
Ryann struts her tennis stuff for EWU.
I stumbled upon an interesting site today: ohloh.net (recently acquired by SourceForge). I haven’t had a chance to look through it much yet but I noticed that the GIMP developers were listed in it. Actually, it was Martin Nordholts blog that pointed me to it. I’m preparing a new release […]
