Though both “nerdboys” have been out of school for quite some time we still marvel at “back to school” sales. Back in the day of course, “back to school sale” meant purely new pens, pencils and binders. (Back in the day, we also had to walk 5 miles to school, uphill both ways….)

Out of the box, many (perhaps most?) Wordpress themes do not display the category name and description on the category page. I find that to be a bit lacking, especially since the category administration page allows you to enter both a name and description for each category. Some themes, such as Atahualpa 3.4.1, display the category description in a tool tip (a.k.a. bubble help) when you hover your mouse over the category name in a category list widget. That’s nice but I wanted more than that. …Continue reading » How To Display Category Name And Description on Category Page in Wordpress October 5th, 2009 | Tags: Wordpress | Category: Mini How-Tos | 3 comments |

In this article I present a how-to for doing a simple case mod for the Alix single board computer (SBC). Haven’t heard of the Alix yet? The Alix is actually an entire series of single board computers made by Switzerland’s PC Engines. Each Alix board features an AMD Geode LX CPU (Fig. 1) and various combinations of RAM, LAN ports, miniPCI slots and USB ports, depending on the model.

When I’m not at the office, I live in T-shirts. As such, I go through a lot of t-shirts and I have to replenish my supply regularly. But what’s a good geek supposed to do when he can’t find one he likes at his local mall? That’s right, he makes his own! I recently used zazzle.com to make some cool Linux T-Shirts for my own use. When my friends saw me wearing them, they wanted to buy them too. So, I released my Linux T-shirts to the public. Check out my Linux T-shirts at my Zazzle store. You’ll notice that many of my Linux T-shirts feature Tux the penguin, the mascot of Linux. Tux was designed by Larry Ewing, using The GIMP. If you decide to take a whirl at making your own shirts, please be respectful of others’ intellectual property and either make your own graphics, use graphics that are in public domain or get the permission of the creator. For example, according to Larry Ewing’s website, he grants you permission to use the Tux logo as long as you acknowledge both him and the GIMP.
