Tuxbox: hacking my computers. Because some people simply can't handle the true scope of my geekiness. Saturday, January 10, 2015. Gentoo is not ready for systemd. This is mostly just a rant into the aetherwebs, and it won't make a lick of sense to someone who doesn't manage a Gentoo Linux system. You have been warned. Move along. Several months (a year?

Tuxbox: hacking my computers. Because some people simply can't handle the true scope of my geekiness. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Coming Around to the Kindle Paperwhite.

The audio recording of my talk is here. 31 minutes MP3). If you want links to the other speakers' messages, they can be found here. Feed on this blog:.
