    Linux

    Yeah. Burn a Lightscribe face 12 hours with minute hash marks readable at the three o'clock position (like the old "digital" readouts that were really analog) and fix it to the hour axis. A pointer at three o'clock and you have a unique clock. :rolleyes: I don't need any tangents to get me...

    Linux

    OK I found the sha1sum at NCSU. I don't know why some sites don't have the sha1sum listed. When I couldn't find it I assumed (yeah I know) it was embedded in the d/l. Sha1sum check (heh) is good. Must be a bad burn but it verified OK. Guess I'll make another coaster and try again. Ted

    Any body using a Linux box? If so, what distro are you using? Why? Enquiring :wink: minds want to know. I've got several older computers that originally ran Win98, ME:puke1: or 2000. Resentments against B. Gates & Co. have risen to the surface again since Micro$oft has obsoleted 98 :mad...

    Reviving Nicad batteries for your tools.

    Nica If you get the 9.6v-24v charger (about $25-$35) just make an adapter from the charger to your battery. It's a Black and Decker Firestorm. It's a very fast charger. Recharge as soon as the tool starts getting tired. It will send a high current pulse, check voltage and, if needed...

    How to brew coffee

    Dougster...about those gift cards...I suspect those members who enable you to drink Starbucks (real aficionados drink black coffee) are merely concerned with the economy. How many cafes is Starbucks closing? I tried Starbucks a couple of times at the VA Hospital in Houston. First I tried...

    My motorcycle project

    Shinnlinger I was riding a Honda 350 when I lived in Portland back in 1970. They had just started grooving the highways about then. Kind of a 'shimmy shimmy bang bang' :eek: feeling until I started remembering to prepare for it. I bought the Honda for $200. It leaked oil from a big...

    New trailer!

    Goodlookin' rig, Bill. It's the little customizing touches that makes 'em do what we want. But, I notice that MF isn't wearing any protection.:eek: My guess is it's the wrong time of year for bugs. Do y'all have love bugs up there? Some people call 'em telephone bugs - they say hello and...
