Low-key Thanksgiving
November 27th, 2008 by pleia2
I decided to hang in this Thanksgiving. I don’t have any local family, but wasn’t short of invitations from friends to spend the holiday with them and theirs. I can’t thank these friends enough for the invitations, in spite of declining them all, it means a lot to know I have friends who care enough […]

Name Change: Bevilacqua to Krumbach
November 21st, 2008 by pleia2
Since the final divorce papers were signed on November 4th, I’ve decided to start changing my name back to my maiden name everywhere. It’ll take forever, so I might as well start now. The legal change will go through as soon as I receive the final paperwork and manage to drag myself to the social […]

I haz stuff out now
November 16th, 2008 by pleia2
This week the power supply on my giant, server class, desktop died. It was a 680W supply, the board requires at least 650W, so it wasn’t going to be cheap to replace. Alas, after about 2 hours of testing I confirmed it was the power supply and had to hit MicroCenter Friday morning. Came home […]

The Debian Installer lenny release candidate 1 was released on November 12th, which inspired me to check it out and give the installation over ssh a try. Installation over ssh has been supported since the Etch installer, but I embarrassingly have to admit that I didn’t know about it until just recently, and it was […]

Drop me an email with your address if you’d like one: lyz@princessleia.com (Please put “Christmas card” in the subject so I can filter it appropriately). Typical disclaimer: Nope, I’m not a […]

Philadelphia Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Release Party! And how we almost got arrested
November 3rd, 2008 by pleia2
On Saturday the 1st the Philadelphia team of the Ubuntu Pennsylvania LoCo held our release party. Just like last year, we decided to celebrate the release with a Halloween influenced costume party at Drake Tavern in Jenkintown. Drake Tavern is quite the hospitable place for our events, it’s a pretty family-friendly environment (Zoe was our […]
Crayola Factory
November 3rd, 2008 by pleia2
A couple weekends ago I went up to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA with my friend Stephen. The “factory” was pretty much a big activity center geared toward kids. There were some cool displays about the history of Crayola, and a little demo factory with a whole presentation on the basics of crayon and […]
