I had to reboot the server in my office closet this evening. That’s when I realized that I am a really big nerd. I have a server in my closet with RAID 5 to backup the other computers in the house. I have so many now that I actually have to count them to remember…

Top Ten Reasons to Use Windows Vista
I have a mac. I love my mac. I run VMWare so that I can use Windows as needed like when I need to test Internet Explorer because apparently a lot of people out there are still using it. Who knew? At any rate I have a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate edition that…

Over the years I have seen a couple of bike wrecks. In one the rider’s frame was snapped in half and he took a LOT of skin off his back. It was a good thing he had a helmet. It cracked, but probably saved his head. The other wreck was the Cache Valley Century. At…
Relativity
Time can suck. Ten minutes worth of programming is nothing. It will pass so quickly that you get nothing done. Ten minutes at the dentist which is where I am this very second passes so slowly that you feel like you are spending a eternity in the seventh level of hell.
My Truck Got Old
When I was in high school I drove a 73 Chevy Pickup. It was actually my grandmothers. It had a 350 V-8 and flushed gas like a toliet. I used to fill up the tank for $15. I always thought of it as old. I filled up my current truck the other day. It cost…
