Old is the New New
Or at least it seems that way. After all the fun that was summer, it looks like I will be going back my old pace of life and digs. So does that mean? First of all, no real changes in my life at the present. The world changes around me. I feel like I am…

Upgraded to WordPress 3!
Well after a long wait, I finally upgraded to WordPress 3. Amazing is all I can say. However rather than doing a simple upgrade, I decided it was time for a fresh install. Just in case, and to get rid of any old configurations or scripts that might cause problems. I still plan on adjusting…

Nokia N900 – The Penguin Has Landed
You may have noticed that I’ve dropped off the side of the Internet somewhat. Life can get busy at times, especially for someone who sometimes gets muddled up with time management and priorities.

Welcome to 2010. Where the Hell is My Robotic Servant?
Happy New Year to all my readers! 2009 was quite an emotional year: the first batch of my close friends got married, a death in the family, the ups and downs of dating, professional life and all that jazz. Last year I’ve felt I’ve grown like no other year. I started work in 2008. But…
