Useless Ninjas has a guide up on how to build a Hackintosh out of an Atom processer driven MSI Wind PC. Looks pretty cool, might make a fun winter project.

Tonight I was able to fire up for the first time the receive portion of my HPSDR, a GNU-type open source software defined HF radio. I was able to hear WWV on 15Mhz, and some folks on the 20m maritime net on 14.300. Pretty cool!
I ordered a Penelope exciter board too, but TAPR shipped me an Ozy by mistake — I didn’t realize it until I opened the box today. Hopefully they’ll find me one.
Some more pics (iPhone, not great quaility) of the fun after the jump…

I just got a new toy today at Costco.. a 24″ Samsung widescreen LCD monitor. This is by far the largest monitor I’ve ever had at home, and my goodness is it crazy awesome!

My days are like eBay shipments: a few tangible things and a whole lot of packing peanuts. I obviously need help being the boss of me. So I decided to try an experiment: I'd spend two weeks absorbing, in succession, three well-known productivity systems and see if I could find one that worked for those of us who count income in 1099s instead of W-2s. I already owned David Allen's Getting Things Done; Gina Trapani, editor of the blog Lifehacker, further recommended Julie Morgenstern's Never Check E-Mail in the Morning and Timothy Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek. That made three, and three examples is all you need for a magazine article.

A next-generation package manager called Nix provides a simple distribution-independent method for deploying a binary or source package on different flavours of Linux, including Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, and Red Hat. Even better, Nix does not interfere with existing package managers. Unlike existing package managers, Nix allows different versions of software to live side by side, and permits sane rollbacks of software upgrades. Nix is a useful system administration tool for heterogeneous environments and developers who write software supported on different libraries, compilers, or interpreters.

Since I posted back in 2007 when I got my Blackberry Curve, I guess it’s time to post an update.

Even as I was reading this email, my mind was racing, subconsciously piecing together the implementation details. The Bourne shell, it turns out, is quite well suited for this type of task…much more so, I dare say, than Java or C. The solution turned out to be both simple and elegant.
This document chronicles my foray into the not-so-fascinating world of ${YOUR_LANGUAGE_HERE} Server Pages technology. All of the code I developed is available for free download, so you can use Bourne Shell Server Pages to build your very own killer Web application.

Anyone who’s spent more than 5 minutes on the MySQL documentation will realise it leaves a lot to be desired. The same goes for many of the 3rd party apps latched onto this platform which offer mediocre functionality and anything beyind the basic comes at a huge premium.
Well here’s a set of 20 resources, tools, articles that hope to break that and bring it all under one roof. Enjoy.

As you probably already know, the Myers-Briggs Personality Sorter is intended to be a general, universal personality ID that divides people into one of sixteen distinct personality types, along axes if introverted I or extroverted E, Sensing S or Intuitive N, Thinking T or Feeling F, and Judging J or Perceiving P.
Now, there are many places which will tell you what this all means, but none of them are quite as…relevant to todays modern civilization as this one…
