End of an era... My ancestors settled in Star Valley (Freedom to be exact) in the late 1800's. Samuel Weber was a swiss immigrant, who came to the United States after being converted to the LDS church. Since so many...
Evening Light as Spring Approaches The last few days it has rained and rained. This evening, however, the sun came out and lit everything up in a most beautiful colorful light. Even though it was muddy, I wasn't going to let it stop me...

It’s that time of year again! Ubuntu 9.04 is on its way. For a list of new features click on the Ubuntu icon. Why do I mention Ubuntu before each release?

Next week is the end of Winter Semester 2009 here at BYU-Idaho. It also happens to be my last semester as a student here. That’s right–I’m graduating. I’ll be a graduated student with a degree in Computer Information Technology. It’s been a good semester, as well as a good experience. In the beginning all thoughts and emotions say that it can’t get over fast enough. But now that it’s finally here it’s a bag of mixed emotions.

With so much fraud and problems with security on the internet, it’s sometimes hard to know if a file you download on the internet is what you think it is or not. Fortunately, you have a way of taking a “fingerprint” of any file you wish to post, and likewise a way of verifying any file you download against that same “fingerprint”. The instructions I give for this tutorial (and every tutorial I’ll do) will be for the Mac, but most everything I show will be able to be done in any *nix OS. Sorry Windows users.
