How do I buy a custom domain through Blogger? - Blogger Help
Seems fairly simple, so I decided to give it a try. - The downside, that I've not really given any effort, at this moment, to getting around is if you have a PDF or something else to upload that's not a standard item in the editor.

Installing Linux - Linux Tips For New Users
- I posted an article over on eZineArticles.com check it out, let me know what you think. :)
About 4 years ago, I was fed up with Microsoft, and had known about Linux, heard that it wasn't that easy install and use, but I figured I'd give it a go anyway. It's not hard at all, that might have been 10 or 12 years ago. In any case, once I found Ubuntu, one of the most popular and easiest to use Distros (versions) I had found MY Linux. And it wasn't hard to install or use. AND It's even more easy to get going today then it was 4 years ago.

Nautilus Elementary: A Simplified Patched Nautilus For Linux Mint 9
I got this from WebUpD8.. works just great in Linux Mint too. I wanted some of the functionality back to the old Nautilus that I had grown used to with other older versions of Ubuntu.

Happy with my Ubuntu...
Happy with my Ubuntu..
Sung to the tune of "Stuck In The Middle With You"
Well I don't know but my computer won't load right
I got the feeling that something ain't right
It's so bloated with crap I don't think that it's fair
and I'm wondering how It'll boot next year
PC Clones to the left of me,
Mac Jokers to the right, here I am
Happy as a clam with my Ubuntu.
Yes, I'm happy with my Linux Ubuntu
And I'm wondering what what it can do?
Its so hard to keep this smile from my face,
No virus's sneaking into my geek space
PC Clones to the left of me,
Apple Jokers to the right, here I am
Happy as a clam with my Ubuntu.
The Registry started out as nothing
But bloated with their plans
And the programs they all were a crawlin,
Blue screens of death make you say,
Please.... Please....
FLOSS can make some sense of it all,
DRM makes no sense at all,
When your programs crash to the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clones to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, happy with my Ubuntu.

Think Different, I mean Different! Open Source, Linux... Inspired by MacHEADS... lol
I watched MacHEADS this afternoon, (yea, I don't have a DVD player, and I streamed it to the Wii, it's not a perfect world, LOL). It's nice to see people have an obsession or be fans of something that's geeky. True, I'm not a Mac fan, but in the history of Personal Computers, the Mac has played it's part, and in many ways, I'm glad it did. They upped the ante for Microsoft to create a more usable interface for it's users. I didn't take to Win 3.x right off, and fought using that danged mouse, but it seemed to be kinda pretty compared to the C:\ prompt. :)
I recall bouncing around on my C:\ Prompt for my BBS with QFiler (a lot like Norton commander), and using PKZip to help clean up some disk space, and as a sysop that seemed to be the best formula for getting things done. I'd have a simple text editor in Qfiler to edit the BBS config files... and while I'm digressing, BBS's or the good ones, could be used as dos shell in many ways...
Linux Mint 9 - Part 3
Over the past week (or three), I've installed the following to make my Linux Mint 9 desktop more complete:
Xsane: The simple scanner just doesn't do it for me, won't re-number the images auto-magically or if it does, I didn't see or know how. To me thats a simple "must have" feature. One Scanner utility looks like you're viewing the guts of C3P0 (Star Wars Episode 1) and the other one seems to be overly plain Jane.
K3B: While Rhythmbox will rip the CD's etc, K3B seems to do it faster... ? I don't know why.
Had to make use of the NDIS wrapper that comes with Mint, as the wireless card on my laptop died on me, - But I only had an old PCIMCI card to use, and it's chip set isn't Linux friendly, so I had to use some from windows.
I can't think of much else at the moment..
Oh and a snapshot of the Air Lines Theme..
An example of a Mal-ware Attack targeted for an Windows XP machine.
I don't use Windows, or a Mac, I've been running Desktop Linux (Ubuntu / Linux Mint/ Sidux) on my PCs for some time now.. So when I see these sites, I understand how someone that doesn't "see" the difference of their computer vs the web or their browser, can get tangled up with some BS.

Issues with Linux Mint (or Debian Linux) and Xsane
#notetoself So, today, I was playing around with a new PC setup. And of course there was an issue with the HP Scanner. - I generally use Xsa...
