Social media and the news
A couple of years ago, we dropped cable TV and setup our XBox to watch live streaming Netflix. After awhile, I put together a computer running Boxee, and we started watching Hulu and other shows that way. Now we’ve got a PS3 along with the XBox, and Hulu Plus is available on both. I’ve also [...]
Oops… Did I do that? And basic Cpanel restore guide.
Um.. I hate to admit it, but I just made a (l)User mistake. I just deleted my blog. Not sure exactly how, must have clicked on the wrong thing or something, or else things weren’t setup the way I thought they were. Basically, I was trying to clean up my hosting account with the wonderful [...]
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.” (Douglas Adams) The only thing constant in life is change. And as such bamed and family are on the cusp of a most significant change. Seven years ago this month I began a new adventure as the ‘IT guy’ for College Heights Christian Church in Joplin, MO. “I [...]

The target audience for this book is people who don’t already have any programming experience. It begins by explaining the basics of how a computer works, how [...]

You can read more about the event at his site, but I’ll recap a bit for you here my experience. The general concept behind the scenario was you were [...]
Today is a good day… (New Comic)
New comic! Ya, I know, it’s been awhile. I introduce a couple of new characters today, so here’s the background. Some friends and I get together on a weekly basis, or so, and game. We played ShadowRun for awhile, we’ve done PC gaming, and now we’re doing D20. Specifically, we’re going through the Savage Tide [...]
If you use DD-WRT update it NOW!
A practically emberassing bug in dd-wrt was released today. It would allow anyone to get root access to your router if you have remote Web GUI turned on, which is always a bad idea. If you don’t, anyone on your internal network could get root access pretty easily. Details on the bug are on milw0rm [...]
