Ubuntu Dapper Drake is scheduled for official release on June 1st. I generally wait a few weeks after a release to upgrade so that most of the bugs can be worked out or someone has posted about a particular problem already when I run into it. Not exactly the most community supportive thing to do […]

May 25th, 2006 by pleia2
Yesterday was a beautiful day. Michael and I left home around 10AM to hit Tailwind Bicycle Shop in Schwenksville. They rented us a couple bikes, $15 each for the day and they weren’t the beat up sort of junkie bikes you might expect for rentals, they were new ones in the shop that they rent […]

Pile of SPARCs
May 21st, 2006 by pleia2
Michael went out yesterday and I had the house to myself. I thought about going out, but while making plans to meet up with a friend things just weren’t working out (which turned out to be a good thing, as Michael ended up needing my car in the afternoon). I spent most of the morning […]

Lee Marzke hosted it at his house in Collegeville and by offering to show off his Asterisk@Home setup he became the de facto presenter.

Diablo 2 + wine success after 3 years!
May 13th, 2006 by pleia2

Crash
May 11th, 2006 by pleia2
My arms hurt. Michael and I met at the gym last night. I started off on the bike for 6 miles, then Michael showed me around some of the arm workout machines that he liked to use. I’m slightly less scared of all those crazy machines for exercising now ;) My arms sure did get […]
