I would love to learn more about getting a single account that allows me to have one account to access AIM, MSN, and Yahoo at the same time, and I would especially like to setup a Jabber server on this website for me to use, but the instructions that I have found require me to […]

A new band, The Fall, has been able to band together a community to accomplish what a commericial operation could never dream of doing: report at all the band’s concerts and upload MP3’s of the performances within a few hours of the concerts. The Fall is a great example of a band that […]

Have you bought a new digital camera or printer recently? Have you noticed how much stuff you have to install to get it to work? As the sizes of hard drives have risen, so has the footprint that digital camera or printer software leaves on your hard drive. Printer and digital camera software has gotten so bloated that it boggles the mind.

For some strange reason, when I try to use the MSN plugin in Trillian and sign into MSN, my connection here no longer works. At first I tried it on my mom’s computer before the wireless network was set up. After a few minutes of signing in, the internet connection died, and the […]

As I stay here at my mothers until August when I move into an apartment of my own, I long to be able to have internet access on my computer, which is faster and better for me to use.  I went on eBay and bought a factory-refurbished Linksys Wireless-B Broadband Router for $32.00, including shipping.  […]

Last Thursday was kickout day for all UAH dorms.  Accordingly, I packed my belongings and made the 90 mile trek home.  It is somewhat good to be back home, but I will miss the social aspect of living in the dorms, seeing that I will be getting my own apartment for Fall 2006.
