Linux for PPC : January 31, 2004 : Note 0

Just so other PPC users can see what Linux/BSD distros are available for the architecture, I’ve made a list of those I know about.  If you know of a PPC Linux/BSD distro and don’t see it on my list, add it in a comment below.  That way, this post can…

More Information on System X : January 27, 2004 : Note 0

I found a whole lot more information on Virgina Tech’s System X at their site.  They have a section devoted to it’s development from concept to completion.  They call it their Terascale Cluster.  There’s all kinds of interesting information there. I also read at

Howard Dean Remixes : January 23, 2004 : Note 1

The first time I saw Dean give his WWF Smackdown yell on TV, I busted a gut laughing.  It was so over-the-top, especially for a politician, that I couldn’t help myself.  Well, apparently, many others thought it was funny too. MTV has a

Sooo Close!!! : January 23, 2004 : Note 0

I was basically only three pins away from a perfect game of bowling tonight in league.  I bowled my highest game ever tonight… a 277.  If you want to see how that looks on the scoring sheet, here it is:

Giving Lip : January 20, 2004 : Note 1

My sister sent me an e-card today.  So what, you say.  Well this e-card was different.  It’s a talking e-card that says what you tell it to, in the voice you choose.  It’s a service called Giving Lip from Budweiser.com.  If you’re on Windoze, you can even…

Windows Of The Future? : January 19, 2004 : Note 0

No, not that Windoze.  I mean real windows.  When I get my own house, it’s going to have windows like these.  That is if I’m a millionaire by the time I get my own house. The…

Yellow Dog Linux : January 15, 2004 : Note 5

In my earlier post about all the different Linux distros I have, I never mentioned which of those was the best one I’ve worked with.  Well, the answer is simple.  Yellow Dog. It is hands down the most straightforward, easy-to-install and use, stable Linux distro for the Mac. …

Linux Everywhere! : January 14, 2004 : Note 2

I’m going through my trying out Linux phase again.  I erased Panther from my PowerBook and installed Yellow Dog 3 on it.  The only problem is I did a quick install and didn’t take my time customizing it and ended up with a lame install.  I then decided to wipe…

Mars on a Sunny Day : January 13, 2004 : Note 1

Ever wanted to know what Mars looks like on a sunny day?  Well, NASA has just released a 360� picture of the surface of Mars.  Panoramas.dk has the picture in QTVR format. It’s amazing looking at it.  It looks like a giant, red-sand desert…

Safari Is Outta Here! : January 10, 2004 : Note 1

Well, I’ve tried everything I know, but Safari is STILL too slow.  On top of that, it started really freaking out earlier, choking the system, making everything run very slow.  When I was finally able to kill a bunch of hung processes, the system went back to normal.  All I…
