I bought a couple of these on eBay around 2000 with the intentions of modifying them to work on 6 meters but never did as I was too intimidated on the work required to complete the mod. I hope to do it still, sometime sooner.

I was in the Best Buy in Cary at Crossroads for another reason and I saw this and after trying it out for a while I and noticing it was on sale for $119 I got it. It's really solid, smaller than my old chair(so it is easier to maneuver around inside my room) and super comfortable. I hope it lasts.

Several times now myself and Derrick have gone hiking in our Chaco sandals. Normally it's great. They support your feet well and help you hike in comfort even with extra weight on your back. However if you hike through water for more than a few miles, say 4-8 miles, you may encounter that your feet have been rubbed raw where the straps contact your skin. Take a look...

It rained a lot early Sunday morning. In Boone it rained 2.26 inches. We ran into some kayakers at the trailhead at the end of our hike that said it rained 3 inches at Grandather mountain. Check out some before and after photos of the two creek crossings we did on our hike.

Take a good look at the rocks in the middle of the creek here

Notice James is standing on the rocks you could see in the previous picture...

My buddy Michael picked up an HP Touchpad at $99 and gave it to me for my birthday. I have been enjoying it a lot. At first it seemed too heavy to be a tablet. I thought you were supposed to be able to hold tablets with one hand comfortably but this one needs two after an extended period of time or it needs to lean against something.

Recently some of my friends who have had the Touchpad for a bit longer than me suggested I install Preware so I could install the Uberkernel which increases the CPU clock from the default of 1.1 GHz to around 1.5 GHz which is apparently what the CPU is rated to run at anyway.

My friend Adam created a great Preware setup guide on how to do all this.

I did run into one main problem which was installing the WebOS SDK since it is only distributed for Windows, Mac and Ubuntu Linux in deb format. Since I'm on Fedora 14 I can't use deb. I got around that with alien...

The boxee box has been quite a disappointment. I've said it before, but it really is annoying when boxee, based on XBMC is less usable than it's roots, and then netflix dies(even after restoring/reflashing and upgrading), and to add insult to injury I can't modify the open source software on the box, or put anything else on it (like xbmc). If it's going to be as limited as proprietary software I might as well have a proprietary box that works.

I am still not happy with my beat matching skills but I was mixing on Friday for a few friends and one of them requested a copy of this mix so I redid it. It is what it is. I will keep practising and get better.

I was listening to Spoons on WKNC last night and he played this hip hop track remixed by Star Slinger who I've never heard of before. It was hot so I googled him and found his soundcloud page. I ended up buying two EPs which included remixes by him and downloading another two tracks directly from his sound cloud page. Here are the four tracks that I really liked:

hip hop track I initially heard on WKNC (free download):

Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks (Star Slinger Remix) by Star Slinger

The beginning of this track reminds me of The Tough Alliance

The Morning Benders - Cold War (Star Slinger Remix) buy & support japan by Star Slinger
EP that includes the above track is available here

nice chill song (free download):

H-Town - They Like It Slow (Star Slinger Refix) by Star Slinger

Gold Panda - Marriage (Star Slinger Remix) OUT MARCH 1st by Star Slinger
EP that includes the above track is available here

I cannot get this to work.

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 as soon as I add this
line and save it NetworkManager stops managing eth0

BRIDGE="br0"

Then if I click on the nm-applet the VPN option is greyed out and
unclickable. It also shows "wired networks

[root@farina network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
HWADDR="00:24:8C:6C:31:DF"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
BRIDGE="br0"

[root@farina network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-br0
DEVICE="br0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
#HWADDR="00:24:8C:6C:31:DF"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Bridge"
DELAY="0"

I don't see how this can work?

I thought about letting eth0 do dhcp and that worked, but as soon as i
enable BRIDGE="br0" in ifcfg-eth0, network manager stops managing it..
(check the screenshot)

I wonder if I create the bridge manually if networkmanager would work on eth0.

Hannah Montanna Linux, You might think it's a joke, but the author claims it was created to entice young people into using Linux. I fired it up in a VM and it is actually real. It took me a while to find a torrent link that works so I'm attaching the torrent I used here. Here are some screenshots. I didn't actually get it installed because I accidentally only made my KVM guest's disk image 1000 MB and by the time the install failed I was ready to go to sleep, but I did get far enough to get some screenshots of the installer (including syslinux boot splash screen!) and the live CD functionality to get a feel for it. It is real.
