“The Manifesto of Done”

This manifesto was written by Bre Pettis and Kio Stark. I think this is an excellent way to live life, and I will certainly be printing this out and posting it on my wall.

You can read the original post here, and the manifesto is below.

Goodbye, AVG

Well, after leaving AVG once for Avast! and quickly returning I am (hopefully) leaving AVG for good.

I have switched to the free Firewall and AV combo Comodo Internet Security. So far the experience has been really great, and I think uninstalling AVG has lessened my ‘login to usable’ time by about 30 seconds.

Comodo is really [...]

Boxee

Update:  I just got an invite to try Boxee Alpha for Windows, I’m currently installing it, and will post my thoughts later.

 

So I was finally able to use my boxee invite, and for all the hype, it’s not that great an app…

I fully understand that this is an alpha application, but my overall impression was pretty [...]

Merry Christmas!

The title says it all…

First successful upgrade in a while!

Well, if you can’t tell, the upgrade to 2.7 worked without a hitch as far as I can tell. Hopefully it’ll stay this way, and I’m diggin’ this new admin panel more than the previous one! Might even look for a new theme, I’m considering running my whole site on wordpress, so I might adapt [...]

Update: Wordpress 2.7

I don’t really have much else to say about it for now, but I’m ‘installing’ it to [...]

My first Vehicle

A while back my uncle gave his old blue 1992 Dodge Dakota Sport which had a bad fuel pump. After the arduous task of replacing that fuel pump, the truck runs fine and I have been driving it just about as much as I can.

I posted some pictures to my flickr account. Even though it [...]

I just thought I’d share my response will all of the lovely readers of my blog, enjoy .

I absolutely see Cloud Computing as the future, its future. [...]

How to upgrade Wordpress

Step 1: Backup your Wordpress Directory

Step 2: Read this (http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress), but don’t do anything just read it.

Step 3: Read it again, this time only do the first step. Yup, back it up again.

Step 4: Read the instructions again, then when you get to the end do what it says.

Step 5: Throw a party! As long [...]

A new beginning, again.

So for the second+ time since I got this domain, I’ve hosed my wordpress install. This evening I was going to start a new ‘tradition’ of sorts, and write a blog post every thursday, and so here it is.

Ok, so this isn’t it, and if I think about it tomorrow, I’ll write something more.
