I’ve been using Linux for a long long long time. My first kernel was 0.9 something in 1992. During that time I’ve switched distributions based on eye candy, support, stability, etc. For the last few years I’ve settled on Gentoo. I like the control, I…
Well, my laptop decided it didn’t want to be nice anymore. Truthfully, it is my fault. I tried to use some very experimental software to sync my PocketPC (with Windows Mobile 5.0) to Linux. It required various kernel modules and user space software, which eventually…

We had a fairly cloudy/cold day out here today, and I was not looking forward to having the kids in the house all the time again. So, I did what any sane parent would do: get out of the house. We spent about 2 1/2…
