I caught this on Tech Live tonight.

Chris Kirk laughs while walking through the front room of his apartment, which his friend, Luke Trerice, decked in aluminum foil. Kirk had gone out of town and let Trerice use the apartment, giving Trerice the opportunity for the practical joke.

Trerice, who lives in Las Vegas, and a small group of friends draped the apartment with about 4,000 square feet of aluminum foil, which cost about $100.

Be sure to read the whole story. Tech Live had video of this guys apartment, it was amzing the detail they went into to cover everything

Epiphany, is an open source web browser based on Mozilla. I’m stuck using it while I compile MozillaFirebird from cvs source(Damn that’s geeky, I love it). I’m running FreeBSD 5.2 as my desktop system, and Epiphany is the default browser, at least with using Gnome. I can’t find any precompiled Firebird nightlies for FreeBSD so I’m either forced to use the 0.7 release from ports or compile it myself.

Our son has learned how to circumvent all the child-proof doorknob covers throughout our house. Needless to say, things are now getting interesting.

Well, I installed phpwiki, now what in the world do I do with it? I see wiki’s all over the place, but don’t completely understand their purpose. I certainly don’t know why I need one, but I install a lot of things I dont need. Any ideas?

I’ve been playing around with FreeBSD for a couple of weeks, well last night I decided to reinstall it and install all apps from it Ports system. If I’m not mistaken, by using Ports, everything is getting compiled from source.

Much earlier today I issued a make install clean from with the gnome2 ports directory. Needless to say many hours later it’s still compiling. The annoying thing about this is that I’m doing this from an SSH session on my laptop. If I knew it was going to take this long I would have started from the console. I’m just really nervous that I may accidentally close out of my session or loose my connection for a spilt second(I’m on wireless).

Update: After what I’m guessing to be around 7 hours worth of compile time, X would not start for me. Well, back to google to start researching the problems.

Just as I’m getting knee deep in redoing my css file, I’m getting busy again, and unfortunately clients take precedence over my personal website updates. So it may look ugly for a little while longer.

I’m obviously doing some work to the site. I’m doing it willy-nilly as I go along so things may appear broken from time to time.

Oh yeah, I love Dreamweaver.

This post is for my archival purposes. I’m sure it won’t be of interest to too many folks.

What’s this white stuff falling from the sky?

Jason, I may need to start warming up the snowblower.

It’s January, right?

So I coming home from Best Buy today after picking up American Wedding, and not only is it extremely foggy out, but I’m driving in a torrential downpour.

This weather sucks…
