Wow, I have several friends that use MSN and I use Pidgin to communicate with them. They have told me time and time again that I always appear off line when I am not or have been on line all day. I get this message a lot: “Message could not be sent because a connection error occurred:” when sending messages to them. (more…) (127 words)
I don’t want to have to go through some winding, confusing process of reading HOWTOs, hand editing xorg.conf files, restarting X over and over again just to get decent support for my wacom digitizer pad. Especially when the experience on windows and mac is completely painless.

Wow, first it’s announced recently that MySQL will be bought by Sun and now Trolltech by Nokia. It’s pretty interesting, as I see Nokia’s primary interest in the embedded market. I wonder if this will translate into less focus on the desktop versions of the GUI tool kit.
The press release from Trolltech can be found on their site. (more…) (118 words, 2 images)

I have recently upgraded my camera and purchased a new Nikon D300 to replace my D200 which I bought in the fall last year. The D200 that I am selling is in extremely good condition. It has always been well cared for and has had very few pictures taken on it.
In addition to the D200 camera body, I am including a Nikkor 50-200mm lens and the new cables, battery and charger that came with my D300 to replace the original used D200 items. All the original packaging and manuals (in both english and spanish) will be included as well as the Nikon D200 Digiatal Field Guide by David D. Busch.

I was working on a project at work to make installation of SLES 10 servers easier in the lab that I work in. One of the features of SuSE products is to save the configuration of a machine into an XML config file that will be later used by AutoYast to clone the machine. This is useful in a variety of cases such as mine where we have a lab that needs several machines installed and it takes time to go through the configuration on each install or in the case where a school or computing lab needs to install several nearly identical machines. This saves valuable time.

I recently upgraded one of my work machines from a single processor whitebox to a dual 3.1GHz processor, hyperthreaded Dell 470. In doing so, I also installed OpenSuse 10.2 (x86_64). This is a big step up from the old box I was using. One thing I did notice however, was that when attempting to transfer the tar files of my old data from another machine, ssh would constantly die with the following error: “Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input.”
