It went something like this: Original E-mail: Save those old phone bills! NY Times Article USA Today Article If you can’t access those articles for […]

MRTG cronjob retardedness

March 13, 2006

I’m running a combination of IOG and MRTG to keep track of network traffic and ran into a little bit of MRTG cronjob retardedness. In my haste to get MRTG up and running I forgot that it’s enabled by default on RedHat Enterprise Server even if you haven’t configured it yet. So, when I manually […]

Mac OS X Mail.app doesn’t properly work out of the box when connecting to a Courier IMAP (Plesk) mail server. If Mailbox Behaviors is configured to save Drafts, Sent, Junk, or Trash on the server then Mail.app will constantly report the error The message could not be saved. Quite annoying and, in the case of […]

I made a new friend today

March 1, 2006

I made a new friend today out and about on my daily walk — a red-tailed hawk. It was perched on a branch on a walking trail near Pepper Computer and we took a few minutes to examine each other. Much to the hawk’s indifference I was about 10′ away as I walked by and snapped […]

Light Cycle Delays?

February 28, 2006

I have to laugh every time I hear the morning traffic reports on WBZ 1030 when they mention light cycle delays. All I can think of are TRON Light Cycles flying through the streets of Boston causing traffic jams. Go figure. I guess I’m a geek. But we already knew that! 😉

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh!

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]

    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page.
