Got my new box up and running this morning! Had a little detour last night when a good friend stopped by and we proceeded to drink beers and talk about technology and Japan (which usually turns into quite long discussions)! But we are up and running now and she is purring like a kitten! »Read More

Macross Frontier
I think I should probably preface this by saying that I am pretty much a Macross whore. I have seen just about everything with Macross in front of it, from the original series, SDF Macross, to all the movies and OAVs that they produced. So when I saw that there was another Macross series, I jumped on it as quick as I could (which was obviously about 4 years late lol). »Read More
Blender 3D
One of the things that I hope to do this year is to really learn Blender 3D. I have dabbled with Blender in the past, but never really created anything that I was particularly proud of (or even really wanted to show anyone). In the past year or so Blender has gone through some major revisions, and with everything that is currently going on with Blender (Cycles, OceanSim, Motion Tracking) I can’t think of a better time to get caught up! »Read More
Site Updates / Changes etc.
Happy New Year!
Since I moved the site over to the new system, almost a year ago, I have toyed with the idea of what this site should be. For some time I limited what I posted here to technology related things; mostly Linux how-to type shit. My idea was to keep this site limited to mostly those Linux posts, and to have several other domains focused on my other hobbies. For some reason I thought that splitting everything up into separate areas would be the way to go, and I registered and set up several other sites ….. I no longer think that this is true. »Read More
Cups and Windows 7 without SAMBA
Unfortunately I can’t use Linux everywhere, and work is one of those examples. My work laptop dual boots, but it has to be in Windows 7 most of the time sadly. This makes sharing the printer a tad bit more complicated, and everything I saw told me I had to use SAMBA to share a CUPS printer. Why? Isn’t CUPS a server? Finally after searching around I found a solution that worked, so I wanted to share it. FYI, this all assumes you already have CUPS up and running.
It’s actually pretty easy, but uses the registery editor in Windows 7 so be careful! »Read More
