I haven’t felt much like spending time on my computer lately and thus my lack of weblog posting. Work is going well and I spend all day on the computer there, so by the time I get home I just want to sit on the couch and play Sudoku (and of course watch some television). Since [ READ MORE ]
I have gotten caught up with Sudoku! I can only do the easy ones so far (I haven’t tried the medium ones yet), but they are so fun. It is even something Rachel and I can do together (although she is better than me at them). Just search del.icio.us for sudoku and find all sorts [ READ MORE ]
For some reason installing Ruby on Rails on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) is difficult. I have installed it on about 5 different systems and every time run into trouble. I had been putting off installing Rails on the laptop because it was working on the iMac and I could just use it there when [ READ MORE ]

I didn’t realize until tonight that the powerbook trackpad could be tapped to simulate a mouse click and doubleclick. I have used the trackpad-tap feature on PCs before and it came in quite handy, so tonight I spent some time searching the System Preferences and found the trackpad-tap feature.

Well, sort of big. I was looking through the swap-bot server logs today and came across a blog post written about swap-bot over at the Make magazine blog! Make is a really cool magazine that I have had my eye on since it came out just a few months ago. It is an O’Reilly publication [ READ MORE ]
I was just checking over my del.icio.us mp3 mashup feed and found a really cool We Will Rock You/Hey Ya mashup. The point that makes this post worth space on my site is that it was posted by drumbum (aka Vaughn). It is crazy to see bookmarks come through del.icio.us by people you know! UPDATE: Vaughn [ READ MORE ]
I was just showing Rachel how to use del.icio.us (her account and mine) and we saw that 17 people have already added Swap-bot to their bookmarks! Speaking of swap-bot, I am doing some maintenance work on it today. [ READ MORE ]
I’d read somewhere on the internet that Garth (I shouldn’t have to write his last name, but it’s Brooks, just in case) was coming out with a new CD just in time for Christmas. I’d even heard on of the songs and it sounded like vintage Garth, but then I saw a commercial for the [ READ MORE ]
Not too exciting, but I am going to be playing on a city league basketball team with some other guys from my work. The league starts Dec 1 or so, I will keep you posted with my stats, like the number of people I dunk on! [ READ MORE ]
