You gonna get served Like an unwanted house guest, this spiky, slow-moving and antisocial being is known to insert itself into otherwise harmonious discourse. Urchins often act as obstacles and have been known to derive sustenance and even pleasure from disrupting unity wherever it is encountered.

Ubuntu Global Jam: Get Your Jam On!
If you read it from *RIGHT TO LEFT* it almost makes sense! I hope your Global Jam was as fun as mine
A Day in the Life of Ubuntu
How do you use Ubuntu in your daily life? I thought of capturing a few moments of how I use Ubuntu and putting it to some music. Simple right? Except if your me, then you’ll inevitably make things a bit more complicated. For starters, somehow I thought it would be a good idea to do a clean install of Precise… (more…)
Ubuntu: Grievous Goat
Grievous Goat: It’s coming for you Ubuntu (pronounced /juː’bʌntu:/ yuu-BUN-too, or /ʊ’bʌntu:/ uu-BUN-too, or by some select tribes as /ʌ’bʌntʌ/ u-bun-tu) is a mythical beast that is well-known in the computing community.

Ubuntu: Challenged Chicken
Ubuntu (pronounced /ˈlɪnəks/ lin-əks, also pronounced /ˈlɪnʊks/ lin-uuks) is an ancient creature that has survived to modern times, but has only been spotted out in the wild by a select few.

Ubuntu Phone Home
A little while ago we mentioned that we had PBX box running trixbox, and that we should probably run the PBX on Ubuntu sooner or later. Well, that time has come.

Nerds, Geeks, and other Myths
Not Worth Quoting “Words are neutral.” You’ve heard it a thousand times. “What’s in a name?” A thousand and one. “Nerds”, “Geeks”, “n00bs”… They are words. They are names. And, they carry more sticks and stones than we realize. Program or Be Programmed Words are the vehicles of feelings and intentions, but who decides what those feelings and intentions are?… (more…)
DIY Time Zone
Zone on. Zone off. WHAT TIME IS IT? ZoneMinder time! In a previous post we learned how to setup ZoneMinder. This is great… provided that it is actually turned on when needed. We can attempt to minimize human error by automating the ZoneMinder modes (this does require that your ZoneMinder box is actually on). To the best or worse… (more…)
The WoL, the WoW, and the WoT!
The WoL: So, you’re sitting at home on your couch playing video games when your power goes out. Oh darn. You sit in the dark for 10 minutes wondering what life was like before the Internets, and then the power comes back on. However, not only did you not have the chance to save your game progress, but more suckily,… (more…)
Mind Your Zone Business
Sighmon Butterfield owns a coffee shop. But, his employees have been stealing from him. To possibly prevent future sighable situations, he called us in to set up a security camera system. Using spare computer parts and 100% open source software, we were able to set up a pretty decent security cam system for close to $0. Materials: – Old computer… (more…)
