Often I do sit and think,

Not too long ago, after picking up my first laptop with a wireless card installed, I also bought my first wireless router. One's not much good without the other. Anyway, while I was setting it up I felt an urge. You know the one. Nature was calling and she's wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. So I plugged everything in, picked up my laptop and headed for the toilet.
Everything worked. I was taking a comfortable poop with my laptop perched on the bathroom scale, and I was surfing away, marveling at my new technology. It was nice, I thought, to be able to sit on the hopper and still check my e-mail, or whatever else I liked, at a whopping 54 megabits per second. It was an epiphany, and I knew I would build a web site dedicated to it. Here it is.
First and foremost, this is a place for random thoughts. Some people might call it a 'blog', but blogs are trendy and I've never been one for trendy, so I'm not going to call it that. But all real men know (and, I suspect, many women as well) that yon hopper is a great place for undisturbed thinking. So I have resolved to make note of those thoughts that occur to me there (perhaps on my trusty laptop) and to expound upon them here.
Secondly, it's a place to experiment on web page building and hosting. I'm a computer geek in training, and I spend waaaaay too much time in front of these things. So I went out and got myself a nice desktop PC, loaded Linux on it* and began writing and serving. It's fun and I'm learning things in the process. We geeks are into that whole learning thing.
A short list of links to things I give a damn about.
