John Alberts' Blog

a guide no one has ever used. Does Microsoft seriously think ANYONE would ever follow this guide? All I have to say is, “Nice try Microsoft.”. read more | digg story

High school girl, ninja, yakuza… a fucking drill bra! Instant win. Now this reminds me of the recent Planet Terror movie. Looks so stupid it’s probably pretty entertaining. :) read more | digg story

Looks like Josh Saddler (aka nightmorph) has released his own kernel package called, strangely enough, night-sources. :) It’s a very minimalist kernel source intended for x86_64 users to provide support for the new uvesafb from spock.

My last post was my first in a long time with the Flock browser’s blog editor. It has a feature that you can drag and drop images into your post and also into a section it calls ‘webclips’. I assumed that this would use the WP API to upload the image to my server when I published the post. Unfortunately, it just directly linked the image from the Gentoo website. This is very sad, because I’m sure a lot of people are using this thing to post to their blog, and they don’t realize they are stealing bandwidth from the servers that they grabbed the images from.

_Wow! I guess I created this post quite a while ago, but I never did publish it. It’s old, but still pretty relevant. Here ya go … _ Gentoo seems to be one of the most controversial Linux distributions out there. It seems, people either completely hate it or love it. Not much middle of the road in Gentoo land. This was brought to my attention again after reading a couple articles that I ended up coming across on Digg.

Say goodbye to Microsoft today … Now this is really cool. Now you can start a Debian installation from your Windows desktop.

Wetpaint | Wiki - Create a free wiki. Many looks. No code required. This looks like a really nice site as an alternative to using MySpace. You can create web pages without using any code at all and the pages look pretty good. Best of all, it’s FREE! I did notice one problem though. I took a look at one persons site and it let me edit their site. Hopefully there are options to disable that.

So… I just found a couple new blog editors that work with Firefox. One is called Deepest Sender and the other Performancing. Not sure which one is better. Deepest Sender pops up out of Firefox and looks like a seperate app. I’m writing this post with Deepest Sender. You can get it here.

…and this post is from the Performancing blog editor. I think I like this one better. Seem to have a nicer feel to it. It even supports image uploading, which is a very nice feature. It also has a section for connecting to your del.icio.us bookmarks. You can get it here.

So… I just got this thing setup last night. Give me some time and this will be a nice little repository for all of the stuff I end up forgetting. :)
