Why I'm a Ninja

I'm a ninja because I get cool things, like the ninja star. Copy and paste my ninja star, then start typing. I'm so definitely a ninja.

Dell Tech Chatbot Tries His Best

April's Dell said it couldn't find "systems 32 config" and after going through a series of troubleshooting steps with a Dell tech in chat, he said it was due to a bad sector on the hard drive and it would need to be replaced.

Outlook. Google. Go.

I just bought a subscription to the Google Calendar/Microsoft Outlook/Windows Mobile syncing tool, OggSync. It's going to allow me to (finally) sync Google Calendar, my phone's calendar, and my Outlook Calendar. Isn't that hawt?

It's $29.99 per year, and after resolving an issue or two of duplicate events - it's well worth the money.

Top 20 Linux Apps

An awesome list of applications for Linux that is mainly for my use (when I get home tonight), but you might get some use out of it, too.

Some of the better ones are mumble and murmer, some Teamspeak and Ventrilo replacements that I've never heard of. And the list is forcing me to finally get around to using Deluge (woot).

I think I might end up doing a full reinstall of Ubuntu tonight, just because I've mucked with the system so damn much it isn't even funny. Maybe this time around, I'll get my Motorola Q, in all of its new screen goodness (I recently replaced the LCD screen), to actually charge while connected via USB to my Linux box. And, if I really wish to aim high, maybe I can get sync working!
