My Name & Quest
Today is day one of the January 2015 Blogging 101 class, and guess who joined up this time? I’ve had blogs for more than a decade now. I even help others with WordPress! While I understand all of the technical aspects of running a site, I have never focused on learning how to blog well. I’ve […]
Moregeeks on vacataion
I get my kids all week this week, so I took some time off work for “vacation.” But did I take them to Disneyland? No. Amid hikes, home organization, a birthday (mine!), a wedding (not mine!), and a dozen other random things we have going, I challenged my kids to build a Pokémon Database. That’s […]
MoreWhat is FOSS?
I’m speaking at Utah Open Source conference next weekend. Yes, it will be a geekfest, but to say FOSS is only for geeks is like saying cupcakes are only for bakers. This is a cupcake I made recently. I found a frosting recipe online, tweaked it to my liking, and then shared my changes with […]
MoreNerds Gone Wild
My wildest spring break ever involved an impromptu road trip to Tuscon with my little brother just a few months before I got married. We alternated listening to cassette tapes of Simon and Garfunkel and the first Matrix soundtrack, drove through a crazy blizzard, and bought a wicked chess set in Nogales. Yes I know, […]
More“You know you’re a geek when…”
What a day. This morning I woke up to a missing NTLDR that turned out to be a corrupt MBR. I didn’t have an MCE CD because this is a newer HP that wants me to make full drive backups to use for FDISK/Format in lieu of reinstalling. So I tried making a bootable flash […]

MoreNew and Improving
Welcome to the new web site structure. If you notice a difference, kudos to you. But I know the difference and now you will too: In addition to a few minor stylistic changes, private blogs are actually private now.. hurray! I’ll have the portfolio sections separated, and they’ll even be updated soon to show a […]
MoreHands On Web Hosting
I’ve been hosting with handsonwebhosting for over two years. Now I do technical support for them, but I’d post this whether I worked there or not. This site runs on the ultralite package that includes PHP and MYSQL for under five dollars a month. They also have reseller packages. Because the company is still somewhat […]
MoreWorking on the website
I am about to unleash the power of mysql and php! From here on out, the site will have a news feed area, a special area for friends and family, and best of all it will be really easy to keep everything updated. It’s been a bit of a scary process. I knew some sql, […]
