  • Mac OS X’s Magical Undecillion

    I was curios how well OS X can say number magnitudes, and while doing so found out something very interesting. If you go to the terminal and type “say 1000000000000000000000000000000000000” (which is one undecillion), you get a buss error. If you go to textedit, enter that number, and tell it to speak it (under the…

  • Ubuntu 8.04

    Looks like it is that time of year again!  Another great update from our friends at Ubuntu.  Version 8.04 is going to be out very soon, and since Ubuntu has been doing such a great job of running my website (and for free i might add!) I thought I’d take the opportunity to give it…

  • Fun With Google

    Google often provides us with a little touch of entertainment in our lives. Although this works with web browsers, the simplified response on cell phones makes it a little more enjoyable. 1. On your cell phone, create a new text message. The number for the message is 466-453. For the body of the message do…

  • Lessons Learned…

    While setting up my linux server running Ubuntu in VMWare Fusion to perform automated backups, I found no matter what I could not get it to log onto my macs side with key-based SSH authentication.  So after an archive and install and a few hours on the phone / over iChat with Jesse, we found the problem…

    Last Saturday (and part of Friday night) was the annual Thayne Snow Days. The event is a community family event which features snowmobile jumping, drag races, and youth races. I had the privileged of being the photographer for the event.

  • Another Semester has Begun

    Well, here we are again… First day of a new semester. My room mates seem pretty cool (and one of which I was with last semester), so I think it will be a pretty good semester. My classes are all pretty hard this semester, but I think if I do well it should be okay.…
