Student Bloggers Carnival!

March 31st, 2007 No Comments

This week I also made it into the Student Bloggers Carnival with my submission on the semantic web and education. It’s a young carnival and this was the first edition and I loved the post about what you can learn from John Chow.
This was actually only the second carnival I submitted to and I’m [...]

Feeds to the rescue!

March 30th, 2007 No Comments

Turns out they weren’t broken, which I actually knew, but Feedburner was not displaying my feed whatsoever. Turns out I’d forgotten about the Event Service being on and it was set to only show future items. Duh me.

Broken feeds, oh no!

March 30th, 2007 1 Comment

It seems that my feed is not properly updating for RSS2 but I’m not entirely sure as of why just yet. I know that the Atom feed and RSS .091 feeds are working without issue but RSS2 is proving to be a PITA.

Major Nelson gets his grubby paws on the new XBOX360 Elite

March 30th, 2007 No Comments

Rumours on this only came out weeks ago, Microsoft did a great job of keeping it mostly underwraps. Details were scant until last week when it was announced that the Elite would have HDMI, a 120GB hard drive (a much needed upgrade over the paltry 20GB included with the Premium), and be a svelte [...]

Jersey wants you to drive, not text

March 29th, 2007 1 Comment

I know that a number of states already have laws in place about driving while talking on the phone and I for one am all for them. The laws in most states basically state that it is illegal to drive while talking to someone on the phone while holding it but if you’re using [...]

Woo! I’m on the Skeptic’s Circle blog carnival

March 29th, 2007 No Comments

I submitted my article on Purity Balls to Martin from Aardvarcheology and he used it for the new edition of Skeptic’s Circle. Woo! I’ve been reading his blog for months now because he has a most interesting viewpoint on archeology from a Swedish standpoint. He likes to get visitor interaction as [...]

Surfraw isn’t browsing the ‘net without a condom

March 28th, 2007 No Comments

About a month ago, my friend livinded introduced me to an infinitely helpful program for using in Bash or any other Linux shell: surfraw. Surfraw is an excellent tool to search for just about anything on the internet straight from the comfort of your shell. Installing it from source is as easy as [...]

Turns out it was just a button push away

March 28th, 2007 No Comments

So, my cable internet connection was down for nearly two days and I was relegated to using my connection at work which I don’t particularly like to do. This means I get to drone on at work about nothing ineteresting since I’m not digging through all of my RSS feeds for tidbits of interestingness. [...]

Homemade red lentil soup, originally uploaded by tehbizz.

My coworker Kafel just made a huge batch of red lentil soup for us. It’s different from what I’m used to but it’s amazing tasting.
Later he’s making some rice for [...]

The beautiful Motion Computing medical tablet

March 27th, 2007 No Comments

Approximately three years ago, at my former job, we got a fancy new toy: a Motion Computing tablet PC. It was the first tablet I’d ever seen and was arguably one of the first tablet-only tablets on the market. It was very lightweight, had a clean front bezel and human interface and I [...]
