I just noticed today that Doherty Highschool of District 11, in Colorado Springs, CO still uses the same website layout and images that I created back in 1997 when I went to school there. I mean, it’s not like I there’s a whole lot to the layout, compared to what I do today, but [...]

Well, after arts 3.4.0 rc1 had been sitting in portage for a day now… the rest of KDE has finally been added, and my system in the process of compiling. Concidering the speed I’ve gotten out of this laptop in the past (OpenOffice.org Ximian Edition 1.3.8 in 7-8 hours), it should be done in [...]

Well, the first of the release candidates for KDE 3.4 has just been released. Unfortunately at this current moment the ebuilds are not available in the gentoo portage tree, which I insist on having since it is easier to clean up in case I run into major problems again, but I am in the [...]

Well, had I bet $10 bucks with someone about the Adelphia installation… I would have won. The only actual programming required was to set where I was located to get the correct weather, and oh that looked so incredibly difficult. Infact that one part the totally infuriates me is that a “Profressional Installer” [...]

This morning I produced a few more shots of the Kissing Camels, this time during a beautiful Colorado sunrise. Unfortunately I’m not has happy with these shots as some in the past, so I may be experimenting in the near future to correct some of things that I have issues with (such as the [...]

Adelphia Communications, within the past 2 or 3 months, started offering DVR [...]

As it goes with anyone trying to create a site that views properly across all web browsers, I have ran into a few more bugs with IE which appear to be corrected now. I’m not totally happy with it because there are a few places where text gets bunched together (say if you select [...]

Well, this weekend marks the official begin of the “Nesting” phase of the pregnancy. Lena and I worked our tails of getting the house cleaned up and even got to all kinds of “hanging up” projects that have been sitting on the to-do list. The part that I’m seriously amazed about is the [...]

This last week I attempted the slightly daring installation of KDE 3.4.0 Beta 2. Everything compiled ok and on the initial run through it appeared as if everything was running fine. On the first note I’m impressed by some of the changes they are making, and cannot wait until a stable release comes [...]

Well, you may still notice a few minor changes as I am tweaking the wordpress themes a little more. One powerful new feature that I found in 1.5 is the “Pages” capability. This is simply an ability to create entries that sit outside of the context / timeframe of the actual blog entries. [...]
