kinda like batman, but with a wife and 3 kids

Haven’t been very good at all lately on keeping my blog up to date. *sigh* Well, for that matter, I haven’t been very good at all lately on keeping up with much of anything. But I digress…
After a friendly post from Pablo Yepes about some address book goofiness, I removed the ugly kludge that had [...]

Blef! Finally found a fix for the awesome Tab Mix Plus Firefox extension and the iFox (and associated) themes! Sheesh. Can’t believe I tried to ignore that for so long!!
Follow these steps to fix the problem:
- Open a new tab- Type about:config- Create a boolean (Right click >> New >> Boolean)- Name it: extensions.tabmix.useGreyCloseButton- Set [...]

So… first off, I Googled for Amarok, hoping to find some new sweet pixels and instead I find this. Um… so not the Amarok that I know and love.
Anyway, a couple of years ago, I won a PSP from the LinuxWorld convention. Being that I’m a geek, it was love at first boot [...]

So, lest there be any confusion about the subject, I’m a nerd. You can blame my wife for making me take the test.  And there goes 5 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back…

It’s an extremely difficult thing, trying to support this weird beast, the Palm. Or, more accurately, it’s an extremely difficult thing trying to support the numerous personalities and implementations of the Palm beast. I mean, KDE PIM as a start is about as unsexy as you could want. But genius me, I [...]
