Building FreeBSD 8.0 (Updated)
My desktop was running CentOS 5 on one drive, but I had another on which Win7 was installed. Since I put that copy back on the Inspiron my wife is using, I had to nuke it off my machine. However, … Continue reading
Seamonkey 2 on CentOS 5
I prefer Seamonkey to other web browsers. The generic tarball build offered for Linux on the Seamonkey website doesn’t work quite right on my machine. Currently I find no one building it for CentOS 5, and certainly not tracking the … Continue reading

Windows 7 Upgrade
First, be warned: It takes forever, over an hour. That’s about what it took to install Vista in the first place. Naturally I haven’t had much time to play around with it, but I want to note it’s much better … Continue reading
Trail Opening Again
Last year’s trail lay fallow this summer due to the massive infestation of deer ticks. Now that cooler nights have returned, they aren’t so fierce. I went back out over the past few weeks and began clearing afresh. Aside from … Continue reading
