Win2Lin
Linux is gaining more and more popularity everyday. Right now Windows in the grand scheme of software is well supported legacy software. Its simply out of date. Unix, Linux, and BSD have always been lighter, and more stable. Unless you’re a gamer, there is little reason to switch. BUT if you are a gamer that … Continue reading

I wanna be a homeless person.
If I have to say “Lets take a look over your Outlook Express settings” again, I will quit my job, sell all my shit, buy a gun, and live in the streets of Vancouver for the rest of my life. Tech support is horrible…
New Ebay Listing Fees Take Effect [Sell Elsewhere]
The new pricing for ebay listings looks pretty sweet until you read on to the part where they take an extra 3.5% of your money earned… I’m getting really sick of ebay’s TOS and procedures in “dealing” with customer issues. I encourage everyone to join in on the boycott this week, and don’t list any … Continue reading
Farewell F.U.D.-Factory

Brad, Kyle, Mikey, and Steve-o where some of the greatest people to work with. My leaving is very abrupt, and rather selfish, but as a temp working in a department that may not exist … Continue reading
KDE 4 Test drive [Verdict: Premature, but very sweet]

Not that I really care who is winning or losing, I find it interesting to see a product from a company I dislike (toshiba) flop. When deciding to buy a new HD player, take the following into consideration. This is how a handful of major studios stand as of today. Blu-raySony – Blu-rayWarner – Blu-rayNew … Continue reading
Once Upon a Midnight Wal-Mart Run
I was at Wal-Mart last night and I saw an odd looking couple pushing a cart full of corn oil.. Like 25+ gallons of corn oil. And atop this oil they had probably 50 or so bananas. They were shifty, very quiet, and looked very much like they were suffering from malnutrition… I don’t think … Continue reading
