XplorNet wireless highspeed internet service is anything but. It certainly is fast, but it’s not internet. It’s more like an packet blackhole, a nice place to loose data.
The service is rock solid stable at night, but fails intermittently throughout the day. I have not determined whether this is due to changes in EMF radiation over [...]
Ph00tbag links to the Das Keyboard, 80 dollars of generic usb keyboard, with an added twist: No characters on the keycaps.

It has come to pass. Shannon is now running Fedora Core 3 on her desktop, Bender. I help but notice that she hasn’t blogged about it, that sly fox. Hopefully she’ll get the ATIMach64 working for her second head soon, lest she be driven inane for lack of screen real-estate.
FC3’s X.org had an interesting habit [...]
