Current Mood: excitedWe have 4 Bears Tickets!!!! and at a total of $152.50 we didn’t pay all that much. So, We will rock you silly little pansy Vikings fans and look like jackasses while doing it. The only bummer is I’m betting they don’t play a lot of good players because the game basically means [...]

Bears with another great win. I only caught the last quarter, and I saw a few late game breakdowns, (mostly that punt return) but I expect that won’t be a problem when playing a worthy team, and we aren’t winning by three possessions. Now all we need is a Ravens win, and we are golden [...]
Current Mood: sadIt is with sad tears in my eyes that I let you all know one of the better shows on TV with a great movie to follow it up, is officially no more. This is the article that talks about Joss Whedon’s announcement that the movie Serenity will not turn into a franchise. [...]
I’ll spare the non-technical types, and just beg for help from people better than me with Linux. ( Getting email to work ) Oh yes, and GO BEARS!!!!! According to Seth, Rex Grossman is the touchdown Jesus. I had to agree with him. I think the bears have found their new starting quarterback who will get us [...]
I spent some time over the last week or so checking out the forums on Zimbra’s website, trying to iron out some kinks that were preventing a few of the components from starting up. Well yesterday I fixed the last one, and this thing started to fire on all cylinders…or at least it wanted to [...]
Piper said something today that got me a little annoyed. He was talking about the importantce of pointing out God’s wrath, and hell and what-not while evangelizing. And he made some remark to the effect of saying that if you put too much emphasis on this life instead of the afterlife we end up with [...]
I was watching Smallville the other night, and Clark Kent said something that got me to thinking. He was talking about being brave without being invincible. He was wondering if he would have the balls to do the stuff he does if he weren’t invulnerable, and then he mentioned something about being impressed with guys [...]
Today I went to a Microsoft System Builder Round Table meeting. It was excellent. They gave me stuff, specifically a memory key with some neat beta tools, slides, and even some NDA stuff on it (they assumed I’m under NDA with them, but I’m pretty sure I’m not). Also they gave me two T-shirts, and [...]
Well, after many go-arounds with hardware and uninstalling software, reconfiguring, and reinstalling software I have a functional Zimbra server. It very, very slow on my celeron 566 MHz (with 66 MHz FSB) and 64 MB of RAM, but it does work. I was talking to a co-worker today and he might have the cure for [...]
Anyone have any old computers that are broken, but still have functioning RAM, and power supplies. I also might need an old case or two. Let me know if that is something you have, cuz this weekend I’m trying to get all of my computer stuff sorted into the working and not working categories, pitching [...]
My old computer (yes the one I used to kick) is not strongly interested in letting me finish installation of Zimbra. So, I am finally breaking out some parts I’ve had lying around that I picked up from work. Specifically I have two of these Single Board Computers, which need processors and memory. My friend [...]
Just in case you didn’t know. I think the internet is freaking awesome. Not as awesome as my wife, but still, pretty awesome. Without the internet I wouldn’t probably hear much about my pal wizgandalf‘s recent engagement, or get to hear dwchang whine about how cold wisconson is. (GO BEARS!) Thanks for the feedback with [...]
This weekend I need to relax and rest, because I have been sick. So I was thinking what would be better to do with that time than install software. I mean, it takes a long time to install an operating system, most of that time could be spent napping. Then when you wake up, something [...]
