I periodically forget how much of a pain Windows is. Most of the time, I’m using macOS for work and for my personal laptop. However, my gaming machine runs Windows because most games don’t run on (or don’t run well) on macOS. I also got tired of...
My secondary phone line (used for work) is on a ZTE Axon 7 running Android 7.1.1. A little while ago, I found an app that was running called SystemUpdates by Zzte. The app can not be uninstalled nor easily disabled. (You can use Settings > Apps >...
XKCD is a web comic about geek, language, math, and love. And of course, the periodic jab at geek culture like role playing games, science fiction, etc. All fun and done in stick figures. Some times only gamers know exactly how to decipher a manuscript. Never go...
I game mastered my first Warhammer session the other night. Oh man do we have a great group of people. We played for a few hours through an off-the-cuff nonsensical adventure in Ubersreik. It was a ton of fun and helped us get a feel for the...
I’m starting to play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP) and I’ve been looking for adventures. There are adventures a few available in modules and supplements published by Fantasy Flight Games. What I wanted was something short that the group could use to learn about playing. Here are some...
I’ve been an avid Doctor Who fan since I was little. It’s the one show whose campines, acting, stories, and questionable special effects don’t really matter. So what if the music is over the top and the lines are delivered with the gravitas of a poodle? It...
I’m starting to learn Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, third edition, published by Fantasy Flight. Warhammer has been around for quite a while, both the roleplaying game (RPG) and the miniatures game. I have been interested in the RPG, but never had the opportunity to play a Warhammer game....
When I first got the Entourage Pocket Edge, there was a good learning curve about what the device can and can not do — and how to hack it to make it do more things. More is good, right? Here are some useful links that I found....
About a month ago, Woot had a special deal on a neat dual-screen tablet, the Entourage Pocket Edge. The Pocket Edge has a 7 inch Android tablet and a 6 inch eInk/ebook reader. The screens are hinged and fold together to the size of a medium paperback...
Gizmodo featured this stop-motion animation of Legos gone wild. The video has it all: sex, violence, and AT-ATs. What’s not to like? When you consider how much animation went into this project, it’s really pretty slick. Ah from studio shelter on Vimeo. Related Images:
Reading Gizmodo, I came across an article on a love letter Walter May created for his girlfriend Lex in the form of a music video, “I hope this gets to you.” The video isn’t being sent to his girlfriend directly. Instead, he is hoping she’ll discover it...
In addition to the Plone Help Center, I also wanted to have PloneSoftwareCenter for project management capabilities. The normal method for installing PloneSoftwareCenter is to add Products.PloneSoftwareCenter to the eggs = section of the zinstance/buildout.cfg file in the Plone installation. Trying to build and then run Plone,...
Over the past few days I’ve been trying to install Plone Help Center module on a Plone 4 installation running on a Mac OS X 10.6.5 server. Plone Help Center is the module used to run the Plone documentation and support center. The module comes with predefined...
Plone 4 is an open source content management system (CMS). It’s an elegant, extensible solution for document and content control. Large companies, including Apple, use Plone. I’m evaluating CMS solutions and was pleased to find that Plone has a Mac OS X installer. I tried to install...
The Guild is a web series about people who play an online role playing game and belong to a guild called the Knights of Good. (The game is based upon World of Warcraft, but the game itself is never named.) Every now and then the cast produces...
Disjointed and slightly disappointing. I’ll write more later after I’ve rewatched the episode a few times. Love Wilf. He’s just awesome. David Tennant has been brilliant as the Doctor. I’m looking forward to seeing him in other shows. Not sure about Matt Smith. Sniff. *waves* Bye DT....
I watched End of Time (part 1) with my parents on Saturday night after returning from watching Avatar in 3D. (If you haven’t seen that movie, it’s excellent.) We watched most of Waters of Mars before End of Time. Last time my parents saw any Doctor Who...
