Linux.com | Synergy: One keyboard (and mouse) to rule them all

Since I use mac and linux this looks interesting. I especially like the ability to copy clipboards between computers/systems. Think I tried this several years ago but wasn’t able to get it working and gave up. Sounds like time to try again.

Boing Boing: LA Times censors newsroom Internet feed

Of all the places that “might” need to censor the web, a newsroom is NOT even in the top 1000… Idiots!

Boing Boing: Stonehenge pocket-watch predicts solstices

Never even thought of this one. A one moving part watch and that is the compas. Cool!

Okay. Just went to the thinkgeek site and it is also an analog pocket watch on the outside so has a lot of moving parts but the stonehenge part is still cool as hell!

Not bad. I used about half the meat and no tomato paste. Added a half cup of Rose wine to the meat and veg mix while cooking along with some garlic, chili power, cumin, basil, tarragon, and oregano. Cooked two packages of mac and cheese, mixed the cheese sauce with 2% milk and real butter and after draining the noodles mixed them together and then added them to the meat and veg mix till they filled the deep skillet almost to the top. Put the remains (almost a entire box) aside to use in something later or to eat as mac and cheese. Also added some real cheese to the skillet just before the final 10 minute simmer.

After eating it for a second meal with some lima beans added I still like it! Will do it again for sure. Still got 4 or more servings left so is economical as well as good.

Worm wriggles through Yahoo mail flaw – Security – News – ZDNet Asia

Guess this means that till they get this fixed you shouldn’t use yahoo mail if you use: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP.

Or just quit using windo$ and move on to linux. I prefer and usePCLinuxOS FWIW. 😉

Treehugger: Off-Grid Man Jailed For Confronting Utility Company

Give them hell! We need more just like him!

Damn power company does whatever the hell they want to whether they have right of way or not. And they DO NOT stay within their right of way with the guy wires. They just cut whatever trees down and place them as they need to and to hell with the property owner.

And yes, I AM pissed off at them! They sprayed the line here again friday even though we keep it cut and clear.

Treehugger: Book Review: Woody Harrelson’s “How to Go Further”

Now if he would go one step further and make it available as a download or even set it up as a website. He would be able to get the message over to a LOT more people and would use NO paper or ink but have less or no income from it either. guess it depends if the message or the money is more important.

This should be a huge improvement over current types of lights. Nowhere near as breakable and should use a lot less power.
