For the most part I am liking Windows 7 pretty well. I like the eye-candy in the interface. The Task Bar layout is starting to grow on me. Microsoft has taken quite a few things and tweaked them just enough to make things nice. So far the only program I’ve tried to run that doesn’t [...]

Its almost that time of year again. Boise Code Camp! Always a good time, and a great learning experience. I’ve met many new friends there, and I’ve also run into friends I haven’t seen in a while. This year it falls on Saturday, March 28th, and will be held at Boise State University. This is [...]

I was messing with some security settings today (changing the master password, looking at replacing SSL certificates, etc.) After some messing I found the server would no longer start. It gave me the following error: Starting Domain domain1, please [...]

I finished reading Cory Doctorow’s “Little Brother” (you can download and read it for free) over the weekend, and its put my mind cranking on security and privacy again. This is a topic that is near and dear to me, yet it seems as I get busy I don’t think much about it. Reading this [...]

I’ve updated the installation of my weather station on my house. I picked up a LaCrosse WS-2308 on a “scratch and dent” sale website around the first part of the year. It has the capability of running either wired or wireless between the outdoor sensors and the indoor console. Its a trade-off between convenience and [...]
