Being a Self Employed Geek
A recent string of articles and conversations have left me considering the tension between running a business and being a techno weenie. It’s a topic that other people have discussed before, but it’s something that probably has more general applicability than it seems to be given credit for. The point... [Read More] -
Open Source Mesh Networking
There’s an article over at O’Reilly about mesh networking.

PDAs/Smartphones and Navigation
Elle posted a pointer to some information about smartphone and handheld trends in Europe. The information mentions the role of navigation packages, particularly GPS based services, in the increased adoption of devices.

PHLAK Site
A friend was downloading the PHLAK ISOs the other day, so I decided to take a look over there today. I haven’t downloaded the CD images themselves, but I probably will. I have an HP that just refuses to run Linux in a stable manner. Maybe running most of it... [Read More] -
Anonymous Blogging
At the Trusted Computing class this past weekend Seth mentioned that he was engaged in some online sparring with someone who had a blog on Invisiblog. In particular he was talking about the postings by someone calling themselves Unlimited Freedom, which do make for interesting reading. I completely disagree with... [Read More]
