Yes. I do. And yet, I’m drawn to it… it’s pulsating technological goodness… making me feel dirty… but advantaged…
Anyway, this part is more for my own benefit than anyone else’s. Don’t read this stuff. You’ll just get it all over yourself. I’m going to filter these technology entries into their own little section so no one has to see them, but I need to figure that one out, and I’m too sleepy now.
Moving to Linux and New Gear
I would really like to get off of Windows. I don’t like the way it works. It’s not a religious thing, and I don’t generally refer to it as Micro$oft Windoze when I’m hacking the mainframe with my l33t crew in the matrix. Continue reading The Urban Hayseed DOES Technology »
I will warn you that I am not getting sufficient sleep as of late. If I read a little… you know… crazy, that’s why.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while… I’ve been very busy with trying to get caught back up after the heat wave, putting food up, and deciding what to do with my life.
You might guess from the title that I’ve chosen at least one component of the “life” thing. I’m writing a [...]
