While reading through a rather large compilation of ultra biased Neo-Christian essays, oddly found while skimming over a fellow Ubuntu forum members web site, I couldn’t help but notice the protective defense emotions flaring in response. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed during bouts of introspection it’s my uncanny lack of never ending presumptions. In some ways I value this character trait, usually when [...]
Praise be to the Gods of education and ambition for allowing me the opportunity to return from collegic ignorance and embrace a higher power. Of which I obviously mean college. There remains some uncertainty, specifically surrounding the ever-illusive financial aid process, although many of the flags have already been pre-eliminated. Fortunately CSC subscribes to a rich tuition reimbursement policy, for which I will benefit greatly [...]
Unfortunately, I must admit temporary defeat in my attempt to build a linuxfromscratch system at least until a proper test rig can be acquired. With certain compilation fazes of the setup consuming upwards of 15 hours I came to realize the tediousness of debugging even one issue and the resulting wasted time if irreversible. I found that my first attempt had modified important configurations on [...]

Completing this system is no small task and requires extremely precise steps that if one fails, the entire build fails. I must have magically misinterpreted one of these steps and have botched the whole thing up.
I was successfull all the way [...]
My recent computing endeavor has launched me into an ultimate ‘uber geek’ status. I have been using Linux for quite a while now for my site hosting servers and email etc.. and have naturally been learning more and more about the way it works.

As I was following an online guide aimed at configuring some computer related task, I was sidetracked by [...]
Thanksgiving and work don’t mix. If you were thinking of giving it a go, I would refrain; especially if you have a three week old son chilling at home wondering why his father has left him on such a special occasion. I’m all for doing what’s necessary in the name of finances, but this is ultra crappy.
Not only am I working Thanksgiving night, but I’m [...]
