• My Little Wife

    Today has been awful. Program Assessment is looming around the corner and it’s always very stressful because no matter how hard I try, I can never seem to do the thing well enough to satisfy the people who call the shots.  Because of this Program Assessment stress, I have been less than cheery today. I want to thank my pretty little wife for putting up with me and being supportive as always.

    I love you Becca. Always and forever my love you will be.

  • Finally, easily enable WPA in Ubuntu 6.06

    The following was taken from http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html Normally, I would never repost content from some else’s site, but I’m afraid that it may disappear at some point. So, I’ll post it here. Again, I DID NOT author this content, but I’m puting it here for archival purposes just in case it disappears.

    Procedure to enable WPA Wireless in Ubuntu

    To update the source list run the following command

    sudo apt-get

    sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant

    sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager

    sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

    Comment out everything other than “lo” entries in that file and save the file

    Create a file called /etc/default/wpasupplicant, add entry ENABLED=0 and save the file

    sudo touch /etc/default/wpasupplicant

    Reboot your system or use the following command

    sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart

    Once you login back in to your machine you need to left-click the network manager icon in Gnome and select your wireless network It should prompts for password, type, etc and It will ask you to choose a password for your new “keyring”.

    After enterring all the details my wireless network was connected and working fine you can see in the follwoing screen

    Again, special thanks to the folks at DebianAdmin.com for providing us with this elegant solution.

  • Switching Hosts

    So far, switching hosts hasn’t been too bad. Transferring stuff around has took awhile, but it hasn’t been near as taxing as I thought. If you find a broken link shoot me an email with Broken Link as the subject.

    Update: I updated the DNS stuff last night before I went to bed, and bingo, the new server is live.

  • Just Words, but So Much More

    For the first time ever today, I actually listed to the words of the Rascal Flatts song Bless the Broken Road. I didn’t write these words, but they say almost everything I feel about Beck.

    Bless the Broken Road
    Rascal Flatts

    I set out on a narrow way many years ago
    Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
    But I got lost a time or two
    Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
    I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you
    Every long lost dream led me to where you are
    Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
    Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
    This much I know is true
    That God blessed the broken road
    That led me straight to you

    I think about the years I spent just passing through
    I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
    But you just smile and take my hand
    You’ve been there you understand
    It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

    Every long lost dream led me to where you are
    Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
    Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
    This much I know is true
    That God blessed the broken road
    That led me straight to you

    Now I’m just rolling home
    Into my lover’s arms
    This much I know is true
    That God blessed the broken road
    That led me straight to you

    That God blessed the broken road
    That led me straight to you.

    I love you Beck, for forever and a day.

  • Mitch Hedberg is dead

    Mitch Hedberg is dead. He passed away on March 29, 2005. At the time I posted this, I had no idea he was dead. I was curious why I hadn’t heard any new material from him in awhile, so I visited his website. I was honestly sad when I read the news. He was really a funny guy and I absolutely loved his sense of humor. Most of his jokes were common sense that I never looked at so commonly until he pointed it out. Thanks for the laughs, man. Your odd brand of wisdom will be surely missed.
