SSH is a time-tested, powerful, and generally outstanding utility for connecting two systems in a secure and efficient manner. Enabling anything from simple command-line access to full X Window sessions, it would appear there is almost no limit to what SSH can do. Reading on will only affirm this assertion, as two open-source projects –…

Yahoogle! or Goohoo! – that is the question
I’ve really been thinking about it a lot lately, and now I’m close to the point of certainty that the near future of the Internet will include the merger of the two dot-com giants, Yahoo! & Google. All that’s left, in my eyes, other than some business paperwork and antitrust litigation, is choosing the name…
A day of quotes
In my usual banter with one of my coworkers today, I said the following line, which seemed to make a lot more sense at the time than it did in hindsight: Life is a lot easier when you consider it a figment of your imagination… Later on in the day, in a discussion regarding the…
phpBB 3.0 Beta5 released
Alhamdulillaah, phpBB 3.0 Beta5 has been released!

One more thing I noticed, is that nested lists seem to be working perfectly in the newly revamped visual editor. This upgrade seems well worth it. One other minor modification I recently made…

Obvious obliviousness
While chatting with a good friend on MSN about a particular forums post, I uttered the following phrase which I found to be very enlightened (and such modesty!): I was really surprised that their obliviousness would be so obvious… For background on this quote, the viewer is encouraged to read the entire thread. The quote…
Installing Gentoo…again
In light of, literally, recent comments, I’ve decided to take a shot at installing Gentoo once again (I can already imagine one person cheering…). One thing that you have to admit is that Gentoo has outstanding documentation. Additionally, the idea of compiling nearly everything from souce, which may seem tedious to some, just seems natural…
