Romance the answer?
Romance. The undead form of human pretence. We flander in the hope that our preening will get us a mate. Man, Woman, it matters not. The reasons are all the same. We fear. We fear the lonlieness. We fear that we may never be good enough for someone. We fear that we may never find…

XFCE4 – Quick and Pretty (Gnome killer?)
Ubuntu’s default install of XFCE 4 first gives you the impression that you’ve forgotten to change sessions (using the “options” button on the log-in screen, and then choose “Change Session”). However it’s quicker, more lightweight, and definately more user-friendly to those of us running on older hardware, though of course, you can change all that.…

Blows The Wind
So blows the wind, The cobwebs from my mind, Awake, afresh at the turning of the tides, It whistles through memory-forgotten streets, To revive haunting laughter echos, The old bones creak and rattle, And rise with the breezes call, It calls to the primal heartbeat, The rythem of a long-forgotten dance, The wind swirls the…

Installing a new desktop on Ubuntu
If you happen to like windows, then you will love Ubuntu. This distribution seems to adore making things overly complicated for no real reason, and obfuscating the way things should work. Perhaps it is the way of the future for those that don’t care how their system works. I do. I’m not a big fan…

Upgrading Fedora 8 to Fedora 9 (beta)
This article is based on an article by brandon hutchinson I noticed with some glee (as most geeks do) that Fedora 9 was on the way in 17 days. Could I wait 17 days? I needed to remove the Ubuntu install on my machine, and replace it with one that at least gave me a…

Dublin, A confused City
I have just returned from the fair city of Dublin, where myself and Rosslyn have spent the past week. She looking at the sites and sounds of the City, and myself beavering away for my RHCE certification. Dublin strikes me as a very confused City. It’s neither one thing nor the other. There are no…

Reach for the Stars!
This post is a little out of my ordinary blogging area. I found this from my wonderful-timewasting friend, stumble. (if you don’t have it, get it!). This is a video of two disabled(or what ever the current PC word is) guys going at it in a dance-off. Nither of them can walk unaided (they both…

A Jewish view on Homosexuality
It’s strange what you find when your not looking, isn’t it? The argument over Homosexuality in Religion has been a thorny one. While looking for something completely different that may well become the subject of it’s very own post at some point later, I found this article from a site called “jewishanswers”. This site is…

Ledgend of Zelda Movie: Not a Myth
Yes, that’s right folks, They have made, or to be more precise, they are in the process of finishing, the Ledgend Of Zelda Movie. Live action, no less. I’m not quite sure about the Actor, but he’s obviously been chosen for his looks. The plot appears to follow that of the game, and there are…

Preparing an Emergency Water Supply
I would like to start this post by saying I’m not an alarmist; I’m a roleplayer. That means, during many of the random fantasy scenarios that I end up playing in, Water is one of those big unknowns. We all know how to boil water to make it clean for use (not that I think…

WiiMote Genius: Someone should pay Johnny Chung Lee
A demonstration of head-tacking using the WiiMote was show on YouTube. It’s frankly amazing. Vr 3D in a way that isn’t going to mess with your head, and doesn’t mean waring some stupid googles to do it. You’d have thought that it was built and designed by some boff from Nintendo in his spare time,…
