It has been a while since I have written about my recent hardware upgrade. I have it pretty well setup like I like now. The purchase has been a great success. I could not have touched what I bought for less than $2,000 and I got it for less than half that including upgrading to [...]

I have been busy working on the new PC. After a shaky start, it is running like a champ.
I am actually happy that I resolved the Microsoft Vista problems and re-installed it. I have applied all maintenance through SP2 and it is running very well. I must say that I like it better than I [...]

Not that it matters to anyone but me, but today I upgraded Chiriquí Chatter to the latest version of Wordpress which is 2.8

You can sure tell that March is here. I guess the wind and heat are just in time for the David International Fair that begins next Thursday.
I am still planning on going again this year. I always enjoy seeing it. I will go early in the afternoon. The fair at night is a little too [...]

After using the new openSUSE 11.1 and KDE 4.2 system for several days, I decided another update was in order. While KDE 4.2 has been officially released by the KDE org, it is available by openSUSE in what they call a factory library. Non the less, openSUSE considers if a stable environment.
I took a diversion [...]

While going through the RSS articles that I subscribe to, I came upon an article that might be of interest to many readers who have children and are concerned about the content that they may find on the Internet.
