Out in the field farming last year, we kept track of each dump into the cart. But since it was all scribbled on paper, sometimes in the wee hours, it was unfinished and didn’t end up getting used. So this year, I wanted to make sure the records I kept were as close to correct [...]
At first this seemed like it was going to be really tough, but with this plugin, I was able to use a different theme for mobile browsers. Then I downloaded a mobile theme, and started tweaking. First, upload the theme you want to use for mobiles to your wpcontent/themes directory. Then add the plugin. Smooci [...]
The first time I made this drink, I look down, and there was a flea swimming in it. I’m not even kidding. So “The Flea” it is. 2 fingers of whiskey 1 finger of pineapple / tropical type juice 1 can sprite zero 4 dashes of bitters 2 marashino cherries and a teaspoon of cherry [...]
Finally picked up the Samsung Galaxy S2 that I had been waiting for. Dual 1.2Ghz processors, 4.3″ AMOLED display @ 800×480 and 16GB internal memory. Running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Buying this, I knew I wanted an Android phone. I wanted to get a new one a few months ago, but all that was out on [...]
I am a beginner to woodworking, but without a bench to work at, not much is going to be learned. So I need to build some benches. 3/4″ Plywood and 2×4′s are what I have on hand and making them cheaply is the only option for me right now. Once the basic box for this [...]

A few notes on getting some old computers running. In this post am installing Ubuntu 10.10 i386 on a 600Mhz CPU with 448MB ram and a 16Mb Voodoo3 card. I downloaded the regular install CD of Maverick and ran it. It completed with no errors, and booted to a 800×600 screen. I read some posts [...]
Update May 5, 2012: I just reloaded my computer and spent a few hours reloading mythtv. I have to admit, it wasn’t as easy this time. they have changed some things and I needed to alter the commands to get it to work. I also had to manually input the channels, but it did work. [...]
Downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 PPC from here (direct link to 10.10 powerpc.iso). Burned to a CD in K3B and booted it on the IBook (I already had yaboot from a previous install). Installed great. Nice resolution, good speed. No 3D acceleration? Not acceptable nowadays. According to lspci, the video card in this laptop is a Radeon [...]
Last night I did some testing and got the Roland-MC303 working as a sound module. As a sequencer, it is less than average, but as a sound module, it is great. So after getting the piano set up upstairs, there was one big problem. The studio is on the opposite side of the house, in [...]
