While digging through a pile of old CDs I found a video documentary of my first high school robotics project, Bob version 1.0. So, I posted the video up on Google Video. The project was a joint venture between Sherwood and Newberg high schools and I was a lead developer.
The year after [...]
Today at the Kernel Introduction Keith Packard corrected Jonathan Corbet and said that the Linux ipw3945 wireless driver no longer requires a binary regulatory daemon to run. After poking around the Sourceforge project website for a second I couldn’t find the code and asked Keith about it.
It turns out the binary free [...]
The talk “Demystifying PCI” in the LinuxChix miniconf by Kristen Carlson Accardi was a highlight of day two. Using sysfs and lspci on a running system was an effective way to introduce the PCI bus and is certainly more entertaining than reading the PCI spec. A couple of new things I picked up [...]
I had been meaning to post daily updates from LCA but the conference is just too awesome to get a chance to blog- ROCK!
As a Debian groupie I started the conference off with a brief by the Debian project leader (DPL) Anthony Towns. The first minute of the talk was really strong. Then [...]

But, as we [...]
eMusic is a DRM-less mp3 music store and I have had an account for about a year. Until today I had been using a download manager written in Perl but it was a pain because of the EMusic.pm library it required. Then today just as I was starting to write my own I [...]
As my work at IBM on the genetic library comes to a close my attention is beginning to turn to life back in Corvallis and at Oregon State. And one of the most exciting things about heading back is my new job.
With the help of Dr. Timothy Budd, Alex Polvi and I [...]
Free is always good. But, a free concert starring one of your favorite DJs set against two huge inflatable projection screens with live video mixing is awesome. The particular awesomeness I am referring to was called: Austin Fuzion 2 starring RJD2.

The opening act was great. They were a local DJ group by [...]
In the last week I have had two run-ins with “business men” “building teams” for “internet sales.” The first was a couple that noticed my Oregon plates outside of HEB, introduced themselves and after some friendly discussion about ‘ol Corvallis they wanted to select me for their team. Yea!
After a couple [...]
