Further reading of the ThinkWiki led to this page which details installing Feisty onto a T60. While the hardware isn’t exactly the same, the symptoms described on that page (especially with regards to problems with suspend to RAM) sounded familiar, so I tried their suggested fixes, which seem to work. So now my X60 suspends […]
As you can see, I’ve loaded a new stylesheet for this blog. Partially because I just wanted a change, but also partially because this page looks funny on a Mac. Why, you ask? Well, for some reason Safari likes to do bad things to the text when it’s rendering light text on dark backgrounds. This […]
I finally got around to teaching myself a little Macromedia Flash. Here is my first result. The more flash I learn, the more I find it is a superior platform for doing graphic design on the web. It has much more precise layout mechanism, and it appears to completely solve the font problem. I haven’t […]
At work, I finally took the plunge into running a 64 bit host OS on my main desktop. I’ve been hesitant the past several months, but a 2GB memory upgrade (pushing me up to the magic 4GB) finally pushed me over the edge. It’s not that you can’t use 4GB on a 32 bit windows […]
I’m debating whether I should create yet another blog that’s more like a journal. At least that would let me concentrate on tech-related things here. Anyways, since I haven’t really gotten around to that yet, this space will have to do. I need to write down my new year’s resolutions. Waste Less Time: Try to […]
I’ve restarted my Japanese blog. I used to have a good number of visitors when I was involved in all that Momonga and Gentoo JP stuff. Ah, good old college days. I’ve never seen blog software that handles multilingual blogging perfectly. I’ve seen hacks for various existing solutions, but they all don’t really get at […]
They announced “Dragon Quest IX for the DS”:http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3155838. Whatever is left of my gamer pride depends heavily on my claim that I’ve played every installment of the Dragon Quest series, and one little new console here or there isn’t going to stop me now.
I know I’ve written about the beta Windows Live Writer program before, but this thing is truly awesome. Once in a while, a program comes along that seems like it just works like “magic” and this is definitely one of them. I’m sure there are various blogging XMLRPC API’s that it uses, but it amazes […]
I’ve decided to move from WordPress to Movable type. Since movable type allows me to manage several blogs at once, I’ve decided to create new URLs for my new blogs. So this will be the last post in this location. Eventually I’ll figure out how to migrate all these posts over to the new blogs. […]
Yesterday I worked up the motivation to take the Vista plunge: installing Vista Enterprise on my work machine. Before I started, I did a last minute check. I mean, if I’m going to put it on my main work machine, then it had better support all the software that I need to do my work. […]
