Geeking Out at Home
Diann and I spent last night doing something we didn’t think we’d be doing yet: looking at houses online. To this date, I’ve avoided the insane Seattle real-estate market, but we figure it’s time to bite the bullet and jump in. It just doesn’t show any indication of slowing down in the next 3 years…

it’s good to be the king (err, nerd)

Couple that with a new antenna for my wireless access point and my new hammock (did I mention I bought a hammock?) and I've been in my backyard on the computer for the last two hours. Enjoying the moonrise, relaxing with the dogs, and unfortunately reading…

FreeBSD 4.x on a Satellite 3005-S304
This page describes my experiences installing FreeBSD on a Toshiba Satellite S3005-S304 series laptop. This should be the exact same procedure as the Satellite S3000-S304 series laptop. Page layout and things are heavily borrowed from Dan Pelleg's FreeBSD on a Thinkpad X23 page. This page assumes you know how to install ports, compile kernels, and…
