Damn “Crackers”

4 December 2007 Comments Off

I made the paper (er, well, a website I maintain did, anyway): http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/2007/dec/04/local-gop-web-site-hit-by-hacker-attack/ To clarify: the server didn’t get “hacked”, as the media likes to call it. Rather, someone has figured out a way to create accounts and submit blog entries using some sort of automated mechanism. I have fixed it. Again.

The Romano Saga Continues

3 December 2007 Comments Off

[Sigh...] Romano has learned a new habit. And, as usual, I am intrigued with his cleverness. However, his intelligence usually only causes big messes. What now, you say? Well, it seems that Romano has learned to turn on the RO water faucet. Not too bad, right? Wrong. He also knows how to swivel the faucet [...]

Happy Grill Day! Er, I mean, birthday!

Yes, ’tis true — ol’ Matthew had to wait exactly 25 years before he got his very own barbecue grill. Jessica and my mom were in cahoots together, and what a fine job they did! My brother and his chick gave me a set of “tools” to prevent me from having to turn over steaks [...]

I try Debian. I like Debian.

19 November 2007 Comments Off

Many of you know I’m a huge fan of SourceMage GNU/Linux; I’ve been using it for a few years now, both for my desktop and my servers. It’s not really for the novice, as a lot of what it takes to get it running requires fairly decent knowledge of UNIX systems in general. I like [...]

I want a Mac

16 November 2007 Comments Off

God, I want a Mac so bad — or, at least I think I do. The last Mac I touched was in 7th grade, and it was an Apple Macintosh. But the more I fool around in Windows Vista, the angrier I get with PCs in general.

One year, already

Tomorrow, Jessica and I share our one-year anniversary. To both of us, our first year together has passed very quickly, with memories of our first encounters still fresh on our minds. I sent flowers to her office, but no one else was there to see them. She was pleasantly surprised, of course. I really like [...]

Not too old for first times

1 October 2007 Comments Off

Jessica had been excited about going to the South Plains Fair in Lubbock for more than a month in advance. Her face would light up whenever she’d tell me about all the great things there were to eat. I’m smiling now as I think of her…

Send cards and flowers (not really)

Jessica and I are without our beloved Nintendo Wii. For a little while, anyway. Yes, it seems our little friend was suffering from overheating, which lead to GPU damage. The noticeable effects are visual artifact and pixelation in the video.

Forcing Beliefs

17 September 2007 Comments Off

I was in witness of an act that I must comment on, in my opinion, to make things fair. Today, as I was traversing the Angelo State University campus to get to my next class, I passed by an aged gentleman who was passing out Gideon’s bibles. I must make myself clear as to what [...]
