Free Books. I should read some of these.

But, I probably won’t. Heck, I barely read the books that I actually spend money on.

Dish Network Remotes

I’ve had a Dish Network receiver for, well, for a long time. Probably for eight or nine years now; I got it pretty soon after moving into the house here in Santa Clara and have had it ever since. Initially we liked them because they carried the Comedy Channel ( which eventually became Comedy Central [...]

So, I’ve come to hate Moveable Type…

Loretta’s blog was done in Moveable Type on my Mac OS X server. I set it up for her before she went to Japan, so she’d have some place to post what she was doing and some pictures for me and her family, and it worked ok, as long as I didn’t do anything to [...]
