So I’m writing this entry from the Vaio that’s running Ubuntu Linux now. I’m thoroughly impressed with this distribution. For one thing, I got all the hardware (save for the modem which is a winmodem) working right out of the box. It’s insanely easy to setup and use. And kismet and airsnort worked without any … Continue reading

AWA WiFi Setup, or How to Avoid Needless Fees
It’s fairly common knowledge that most hotels these days have free WiFi in at least part of the hotel. The hotel in question is the Renaissance Waverly that Anime Weekend Atlanta has been at the past three years. Their free WiFi is in the lobby/convention center area (basically the first two floors of the hotel) … Continue reading
AWA 2006, or up til 2am watching VHS transfers!
(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) ARGH I’m tired. Got home from the weekend around 6:30 or so tonight (amazingly enough, was like no traffic on 285). Let me tell you this, one of the most surreal things is seeing a hotel that just hours before was overrun with people be dead quiet. That … Continue reading
Almost there…
Hour and 40 minutes til I’m out for a few days. Con tomorrow \(^_^)/
AWA Pre-Prep Stage 1

This is a test of Windows Live Writer with WordPress. This is pretty slick, actually. Very very WYSIWYG and such. Works the same way on LJ! For some reason, I think this is gonna be nice and cool.
二つのラップトップのバックアップとリインスタール
Taking a night off from the backup fun of getting roughly 40-50GB of data off my primary machine’s hard disk so I can do the good ol’ nuke-and-pave method to get Windows reinstalled as I’m trying to get the machine actually running speedily again (well, mostly because a couple of games are having nice “deathlag” … Continue reading
What was this again?
I don’t update this nearly enough. Maybe now I’ll have time/motivation to do such. More to come later.
GPS, Radios, and Arcane Software
It’s fairly common knowledge that I possess an amateur radio license, callsign W4JDH. As such, I have this innate interest in things radio, and thanks to my overwhelmingly powerful interest in computers… I like things like packet radio and something called APRS, or the Automatic Position Reporting System, developed by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR. APRS itself … Continue reading
「ごめんなさい。」「日本語が分りません。」^^;;;
Yeah, I’m sure some of you are saying the subject right now after the first 2 posts’ titles. The first one said, roughly, “Once more, let’s begin!” The second, “This is a test.” And this one is a play on the Auto-Translator from FFXI and says “{I’m sorry.}{I don’t understand Japanese.}” Although I don’t think … Continue reading
