Chicken ? la Iraq. Thomas Friedman is so brilliant and depressing at the same time. I’ve become a total news junkie. Will be interesting to see what happens. This reminds me of the joke about the man who gets lost and asks a cop for directions, and the first thing…

An update from early February, now includes a review of 35mm film scanners. Just in from PMA 2003 is an announcement for a flat bed scanner, the Canon 9900F that has the resolution of a film scanner (2800 dpi) and anti-dust software. Could be a good compromise between a film…

Sheldon Brown on Tandems and Kids. Hmmm. Sheldon has a good idea here. Get a tandem and we can all ride together and not worry so much about them getting hit by a car. Will have to look into this. “Trailer Bike”:http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/trailrcy.html. An alternative is a Trailer bike that attaches…

Chain Maintenance. Just replaced my chain. First time I’ve ever worn one out. I should have checked earlier. I had thought the grinding was due to a loose bottom bracket, but in retrospect, it was probably the chain. That’s not mentioned in diagnostic manuals I have. So something for people…

I’m getting a Linux server up for a new project over at Ignition. It remains amazing to me how hard integration is with the Windows world. Here are some notes on getting it running that I hope help others: * “Samba and file shares”:http://justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Connecting_to_SMB_Shares_from_Linux.html.

Now that Connie’s trip to Senegal went off so well, I thought it was a good time to look at our long distance carrier. We’ve been an AT&T customer forever mainly because I’ve been scared about call quality, but playing with these 1010 services has really changed my mind. Everest…
