I just got my Macbook Air today, and I'm setting it up now to have all my necessary work apps.
First order of business was Netbeans 7.0 which runs on Java. There are lots of articles about Java on newer Macs, but they were just things to read without instructions. I ...

Recently, newegg.com had the Rosewill alkaline battery charger (RGD-CT505) on sale for $9.99, a good discount of the normal $29.99. I read a lot of the reviews, and many complained about not all batteries working, leaking, and diminished use of batteries over time. For $9.99, I was willing to give ...

The post installation update of Fedora 10 - Gnome took forever!

I am done for now trying to install OS X on my Acer Aspire One. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a hacker. Well, I didn't think you had to be a hacker to install OS X on the AAO, but in my case, things just aren't working out. ...

Now, I've moved on to being persistent. I've also decided that "obsessed" probably wasn't the best word for me earlier. I think I like "consumed" better. I'm not letting myself get consumed by things anymore. I am ok with being persistent as long as I keep boundaries to how much ...
