This weekend I downloaded the Flex Builder Linux alpha, but ran into some issues and after digging around in the forums it was hinted that a new release would be out ’soon’. Soon turns out to be this morning. Alpha 3 was released today! I’m looking forward to getting home and [...]

Windows Required. VirtualBox To The Rescue.
March 27, 2008 – 4:58 pm
I recently purchased a GPS (Garmin 2610) to tote around on motorcycle trips. If you have never tinkered with one - it is VERY cool. Unfortunately the MapSource software that comes with it requires Windows… Ugh.
I’ve run VMWare and QEMU on my Ubuntu box before. VMWare was very nice but a [...]
ColdFusion Batch Scripts - For Linux
January 25, 2008 – 10:11 pm
I always set ColdFusion to NOT run at startup - why have it eating resources when you aren't using it? On Windows I had a few batch scripts to easily kick off ColdFusion. I dug around looking for something similar for Linux... I found a few things which I've added to my [...]
Ubuntu, NVIDIA and Two Monitors
January 22, 2008 – 9:26 am
Ever since I've been using two monitors at work I've wanted to setup two monitors at home but finances are tight and I just can't afford another flat screen. But this weekend I did dust off my daughters old 17" CRT and tried to get it working with my Dell widescreen. I knew [...]
KDE4 Released!
January 11, 2008 – 9:37 am
I know what I'm doing tonight! I've been a long time Gnome fan but KDE has always intrigued me. When I did my latest Ubuntu update I was going to switch but then I found out v4 was just around the corner so decided to wait. Today they officially released KDE4 [...]
Gnome Do - Quicksilver For Linux
December 5, 2007 – 11:08 pm
I'm into application launchers.
At work (on Windows) I use Find And Run Robot and have gotten really used to launching applications (and a lot of other neat functionality) with the keyboard. I've been missing the same thing on Gnome at home but tonight stumbled upon Gnome Do it's still fairly immature but [...]
Ubuntu 7.10
October 18, 2007 – 8:44 am
Ubuntu 7.10 is available today. I've been running the betas for a few weeks now with just a few issues but I update frequently and things have been really smooth lately.
If you haven't tried Ubuntu yet give it a shot! I've been using Ubuntu now for more than a year now and could [...]
Ubuntu Gutsy Upgrade
September 28, 2007 – 11:34 pm
Tonight I updated my Ubuntu install to the latest Gutsy beta (7.10). So far so good. This is the first upgrade I've done where it correctly set my widescreen monitor resolution so that was nice (no manually editing config files!).
I've also enabled the new flashy Compiz window effects but am not [...]
