Net Gain of Freedom

Posted on September 21, 2009 by ehurst

Now here’s an idea: Autonet. This, along with a few similar projects around the Net these days, is past due, in my estimation. While the weakest link is probably coming up with autonomous access to the wider global network, I … Continue reading →

Denounce Me — I’m Running Windows

Posted on September 20, 2009 by ehurst

This old HP Pavilion 542x was built from cheap parts. The motherboard alone would tell you that: Trigem Imperial. Yeah, the thing is junk, but it’s been running fine since we bought it new. Well, as fine as WinXP Home … Continue reading →

Aargh! That Flickering Screen

Posted on September 12, 2009 by ehurst
