All The Info

Here’s hoping everyone had a nice leap day.
Want to apologize for the lack of content this week. I’ve been busy trying to get all caught up on work. Planning a trip to Moab next weekend, and I want to have as much done as possible.
Look for more next week, and soon [...]

Last summer, when we went out to Nebraska to ride, I had some trouble with my Warrior. While riding in Headworks Park, the bike just didn’t want to run. When the problems first started I pulled the choke out, and it would run a little better. A few minutes later it stopped [...]

Eeesh, just realized my picture gallery is down again. Not sure what the story is there. This is at least the second time that it’s happened to me. Think I’m just going to convert to the
WP Photo Album – WPPA that I’m using on Bob’s Bad Binder. I’m pretty happy with [...]

In my continuing quest to improve my 1988 Yamaha Warrior I made two modifications.

The first major change was adding two Yamaha Banshee front shocks.
As you can see in this picture, the Banshee shocks are longer than the stock Warrior shocks.

I purchased both of these of ebay after a significant amount of [...]

The New York Times has an article comparing the late 70’s inflation to our current situation in 2008.
That got me to thinking, the 00s are a lot like the 70s, at least from a national perspective.

Early 70s, the US was caught in a foreign war [...]

Since upgrading to Slackware 12 I’ve noticed vim creates backups of every file I edit by appending the file with a tilde (~).
looks like this is a compilation option for vim 7.1 that comes with Slackware 12. My previous install did not do this, so I’m guessing the compile options were changed [...]

Today is the seventh anniversary of the tragic fatal accident that took the life of one of the most amazing men, and one of my very few heros, Dale Earnhardt Sr.

I remember that day vividly. I had been at my sister’s house, and we didn’t even watch the Daytona. We turned on the [...]

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick got news Saturday that he was being traded to Japan. Fortunately, this was just a prank by another player.

One of the strange issues I’ve had with my Slackware 12 install is KDE Kicker (the toolbar across the bottom of the screen) crashing. It just seems to go away randomly, and typically when I’m not looking. Might be related to the screen saver. Initially I didn’t know how to fix it [...]

Looks like the writer’s strike is over I can stop Tivoing the Sleuth channel… maybe.
Sounds like most of our shows won’t be back. Chuck, the awesomest new show in 5 years, probably won’t be back until fall. 24, the awesomest show EVER, may miss the 2008 season completely. At least Leno [...]
