netgear ps121 usb print server notes

2008.04.10 – 3:31 pm PDT

I had one while I was living with my dad, and got used to not having to walk to the printer, plug in the laptop and wait.  Over the weekend I ordered a refurbished Netgear PS121 USB Mini Print Server for cheap and got it up and running in minutes not counting my fruitless searches [...]

a switch to ubuntu.

2007.10.23 – 2:31 pm PDT

A couple days ago I accidentally(and I did the first step of it on accident, truthfully. ) switched the Operating System on my dad’s laptop from Windows XP Home*barf*, to Ubuntu. In that process I later decided to try out the encrypted drive option on the alternative install CD. With little hesitation after I decided [...]

dad proof software

2006.12.05 – 9:00 pm PST

dad
software
installation
easy of use
too many questions
prompts
simpler
allowing new software through the firewall
dad proof

After turning on a computer, and logging in, really the only question which should be presented to you should be;
What [...]

found dog update.

2006.06.02 – 9:44 am PDT

animal control just came by to pickup the rottweiler puppy. he didn’t have a chip.
he didn’t tear up my dad’s backyard during his brief stay, and he was very friendly with the two officers who picked him up. so hopefully if no one claims him, he will find a good home.
*good thoughts*

fryer fun

2006.05.20 – 8:19 pm PDT

ok, well i had an idea earlier today after my dad decided to make some buffalo wings.
buffalo pork ribs!
1. take a slab of ribs.
2. cut each one off.
3. dump into a fryer for about 6 minutes.
4. flavor with whatever sauce, taste you like.

ok, that was trippy.
my dad has 2 phone lines. 1 for home, and 1 for his office. and both just started ringing at the same exact moment.

i hate answering phones without caller ID, so I never pickup. but more than likely it was some lame ass telemarketers/charity. it seems to be [...]

HOWTO become an Army cryptanalyst at home

2005.01.30 – 5:46 pm PST

Awesome! BoingBoing writer Cory Doctorow, wrote a quickie, that mentions my Great Uncle William (Wolfe) F. Friedman. My dad is semi-fanatical about him. I guess you would be if you were named after him. My dad has many books published about him, and always likes to find more information about him.
Thanks Cory.
