When It All Goes Away
I’ve had my ten seconds of fame. It passed almost without my noticing. All that is left here is mumbling to myself, which a couple of other folks tend to read once in awhile. Indeed, I won’t even make any … Continue reading
Fundamental Mistake
More of my calling for repentance… Jesus said we could sum up the whole of written revelation at that time (the Old Testament) with two basic commandments: 1. Love God with all your being. That assertion has a particular flavor … Continue reading
Celebrating Doom and Gloom

Lenny LXDE: I Can Be Told
One of those who disparaged my choice to run Etch mentioned LXDE. Frankly, I knew nothing about it. So I did some reading and it sounded almost useful. Given I live in a somewhat fluid situation at the moment, my … Continue reading
The Holy Grail of Linux Is Shattered
Let’s tie things to the real world. Were computing no more than a hobby, it would not have gotten much past the Altair. It would remain a very expensive toy, with only occasional use in discovering useful things. Someone found … Continue reading
