So after a nearly 4 month hiatus from even bothering to look at my coding, I sat down and cleaned up the parsing code I wrote way back when and got some subroutines going for it. Nothing too fancy, but it should discriminate satisfactorily between RIS and BiBTex formatted library ...

I ordered an extra drive cage from Antec a while ago to supplement the Antec 1200 that I am using as a case for my FreeNAS file server. However, it did not come with any of the screws necessary for either mounting the hard drives into the cage, or for ...

I am attempting to take the blog mobile, for the convenience of the few mobile hits that I get every month. That, and with how much of the web is going mobile already, why not try and keep up with the standards and trends? ;)

Concerts, photographers, and OpenSolaris, oh my! Please do come inside. If not for the interesting tidbits about the BPO (which I will finish at a later hour), at least stop in for my latest techie project with some gushing on the side about some local photographers!

So I've toyed around with Plex in the past, but it was in a very limited and limited episode. Using a mouse-free interface was cumbersome and annoying at first. That was a quickly abandoned thought, as I couldn't really ...
