I’ve been thinking about 2014 and what, if any, goals I have. For the past few years, I don’t think I’ve been focusing much on me as a person–there were other more concrete things that I could latch on like my family or my career. They seemed right at the time; no ill feelings towards […]
Working pretty well so far. Uses about 25 Watts (with USB enabled). It handles unencrypted traffic flawlessly. OpenVPN connections (using the AMD GEODE LX encryption block) via my StrongVPN account tops out at about 30 Mbits per second down. It is not as fast as my Pentium-M based laptop that was my original router (it […]
Update [20140123]: I’ve made a few modifications to the boot flags. I admit it. I’m a big fan of technology and I have been always fascinated with the FOSS movement. When we renovated the house, I made sure to put Cat6e drops in every room. They terminate in my electrical closet in a Cisco […]
The computing power available in consoles far exceeds anything that people need. The move to general purpose x86 APUs to power the software experiences means that consoles will become an networked, general purpose device along side new smart TVs that every television manufacturer is pushing these days. In fact, it looks like XBox One will […]
I grew a bit frustrated with Octopress. Too much work to keep multiple development environments in sync. Then Apple broke my ruby installation in a recent Mountain Lion example. So I decided to bite the bullet and install WordPress. Not too sure how I feel about that. My original reasons to moving to Octopress was […]

When I moved to Octopress (from Drupal), I had hoped that moving towards using […]
So I stopped practicing UX at Kobo. Haven’t touched the stuff in over 9-months. I don’t even have Omnigraffle or any Adobe products installed. I don’t even know if I could graffle my way out of a wireframe. A bit of background Back around February, Kobo made some changes in the Product and Design were […]
Over the past 6 months, I made a few error in judgements that have affected my ability to author stuff on the blog. I started worrying about migrating content from my blog Stupid. Really stupid. I have most of the posts available as staic HTML (it was a Movable Type powered blog). In the end, […]
UPDATE (2014-09-13): I’ve been using Sublime Text since mid-2013. It’s so awesome. Apologies for the pithy title, but it’s so easy to use Star Wars allusions with jEdit. I discovered jEdit back in 2003, while working in my first Information Architect role back in OnX (now called Momentum). It was surprisingly fully functional, even back […]
