Over at Green Llama there’s a discussion brewing over why people complain about all Microsofts patches and updates, yet nobody seems to have issue with the frequent WordPress update releases.
Leroy is claiming it to be the natural pointless anti-Microsoft attitude that exists. My point was that since Windows comes with such a high price tag, […]

Full Circle Ubuntu Magazine
April 5th, 2007 · No Comments
A new user-fueled Ubuntu magazine, Full Circle, is starting up. They’re looking for submissions from anyone willing to provide. I’m gonna see if I can work something up for them, and I’d suggest anyone else interested do the same.

The mail guy at work told me yesterday, “may your day be full of sunshine” after I held the door for him. I was caught totally off guard. It’s just not something I’m used to hearing. I hold the door for people everyday, and they always respond with “thank you” or “have a good one”, […]

A Recollection
March 14th, 2007 · No Comments
One day I was joyfully sauntering through a large oak forest. I came to a bridge. Beneath the bridge, I spotted an angry, heartless looking fellow. A fellow that appeared to contain the root of all evil in his very soul. The man seemed disgusted with my presence as he sneered in my direction.

Just noticed this when researching for my last article. I read about this site today, and I was thinking the exact same thing. Stolen ID Search is a free search engine that will check to see if your information has been stored on the internet for identity theft purposes. You just enter your SSN. I’ll […]
