Mountaineer Jayhawks

August 15, 2008 – 10:17 pm

If you visit the blog, as 3 or 4 readers do faithfully each day, you may see a West Virginia University logo from time-to-time in the right sidebar.
No worries; I’m a Kansas Jayhawk at heart, and will bleed Crimson and Blue for the rest of my years.
OK, then.

Using the New Tool

August 3, 2008 – 1:21 pm

Just downloaded HotSSH, a Gnome front-end for OpenSSH, and the associated md5 checksum file.
A quick
cfv -t md5 -f hotssh-0.2.5.md5sum hotssh-0.2.5.tar.gz
and I validated my download. Much better method than doing an md5sum myself and then squinting to compare checksums.

The aforementioned road trip has been reloaded for August 8.

Side Benefit

July 27, 2008 – 5:05 pm

Since we’re not driving home after the road trip that didn’t happen, I’m enjoying the NASCAR race from the Brickyard on the tbbs WorldHQ teevee.
Silver linings, etc…

Road Trip

July 24, 2008 – 9:19 pm

Not a Search for America Tour by a long shot, just a weekend road trip, which commences mid-afternoon tomorrow. Just my little bride and me in the Saturn.
The cat will be tended by our loyal neighbor three doors down, who ministers to him on our longer journeys. I’m hoping we can find [...]

Road Blogging

July 15, 2008 – 3:58 pm

I did a miserable job of providing daily updates from the recently concluded Search for America Tour. I’d intended to provide at least an every-other-day update, but two consecutive late night NASCAR events, and a desire to catch up with friends we hadn’t seen in too long combined to get in the way.
In the [...]

2.6

July 15, 2008 – 12:30 pm

It’s great having a day off after the Search For America Tour, if for no other reason than to upgrade one’s blog installation. tbbs is now powered by WordPress 2.6.
Thanks, WordPress!

Why is it?

June 9, 2008 – 8:02 pm

The stinking on-call pager weighs only 3 ounces or so. Why do I feel 100 pounds lighter when I get shed of it?

And they’re Off! (Almost)

June 7, 2008 – 6:30 pm

The Belmont post parade underway. Big Brown looks like he has another day at the office.
Run, big fella. 1-4 odds to win; only way to cash a huge ticket is to bet a bunch.

And the Sun Shines

May 27, 2008 – 4:34 pm

I nearly posted a photo of blue sky earlier. Blue sky is something that’s been mighty scarce since we arrived in El Lay. We’ve had heavy overcast, torrential rain, and if my MIdwestern ears are still attuned, a brief bit of hail since we got here.
Our daughter has a breezeway, to which the smokers [...]
