Site Changes: Added OpenSearch, Ico file, and Amazon and Google Search Engines

Posted on by

This Linux weekend isnt all that bad. I am picking things up pretty quickly.

As you can see, there is now an ICO file for this website. You will see it next to the URL and in your bookmarks if you choose add it. It was very easy to make in GIMP. Additionally, I added OpenSearch compatibility. So if you have a built in searchbar on your browser, you can likely add this site as a search location from its drop down menu. Finally, I added a new page that contains my custom Amazon and Google search engines, and I will be referring to it in future posts when appropriate.

And, as always, I am tweaking small things behind the scenes that I am not happy with. For instance, you can actually now see the navigation menu for the pages of this site at top center above the content. So if something seems jacked up, it probably is my fault. Please shoot me an email to make sure that I am aware of it. Thanks.

It is going to be a Linux weekend – Fedora 10 and Ubuntu

Posted on by

For various reasons, three of my computers are down. Two laptops are completely disassembled, and one desktop has the graphics card ripped out. While I am waiting on parts for one laptop and the desktop, I am left with computers running only Linux. I have one laptop with Ubuntu, and one desktop with Fedora 10. Ive been putting it off for some time now, but it looks like I am being forced to learn the ins and outs of these Linux distros.

Should be fun.

Filezilla Make Me Into Angry Gorilla.

Filezilla FTP client will leave your material more chopped & screwed than a session with the venerable DJ Screw himself. I thought this was free, reliable, and light client until I started to transfer large files (the Pentagon Memorial images). They would either not upload at all, or not measure up (embarrassing). I wanted a client to use when transferring files that do not warrant awakening Dreamweaver.

Now on a serious note, without the lewd references, I cannot see myself trusting this software enough to upload my content. It could be my settings. It could be the large file sizes. It could be a lot of things. But before I come to a concrete conclusion and slander extensively, I will have to test everything to exhaustion.

But for now, I will be on the hunt for some new software.

Suggestions?
