Ubuntu Server – Changing Screen Resolution with GRUB2
Recently I drug out my old Dell dinosaur (Dimension) from the closet and decided to try installing Ubuntu server onto it. Well, all went well until I also attempted to add the Xubuntu-Desktop package, so I could better run around and do things in there. A quick update for an nVidia graphics driver froze the…

Garfield!!
A long time ago, I discovered that Jim Davis, the author of Garfield comics, syndicates his stuff with uComics. An interesting, and probably well-known, fact is that uComics actually stores the images from a particular cartoon in a fairly friendly directory structure! At least, they do with Garfield comics. So I was able to do some back-door hacks…

The fun of this is that I’ve also been video-recording a few of…

Why do we believe what we believe?
So I just had a thought brought up by someone. I won’t get into details why, but pretty much it’s a questioning of my beliefs about stuff. Stuff like, “why is playing with ‘supposed’ demonic things dangerous?” and “why do I believe that following Jesus the best way for the non-eternal portion of our lives…

On Speaking
Wow. That was a ‘profound’ title. However, I just got out of speech class so my blood pressure is spiked..or it was about ten minutes ago and it’s been slowly decompressing. Today we got in what they call ‘impromptu speeches.’ Here was the format: Think of a one-sentence topic that matches the following sentence of…

Wowee!! So I get comments from people I don’t know at all. Now THAT’S something. And I also had a request to turn on ‘Blogger Follow,’ which I think is crazy. I like simplicity. Little mandatory pictures all over the place make for clutter. But in light of popular demand, fine. I’ll do that. On…
