My intention with this blog is to be an open notebook to the world. Over the years, I've collected notes in various files on my PC regarding, among other things:
- Tips and tricks for my Windows PC and the applications I use on it including:
- MS Excel, sheet and formula design, and Visual Basic scripts.
- DVD authoring software including Nero and Sonic MyDVD
- MS DOS command line and .BAT scripts
- Issues with my Directv installation at home, including:
- Hacking my Tivo DVR
- Attempting to use Media Share with my Directv HD DVR (non-Tivo) with Media Share.
- Google's Android phone. Android is Google's answer to the i-Phone.
- I have it in the form of a T-Mobile G1.
- I've downloaded the SDK and tried my hand at writing an application.
- Tips and tricks getting around on a Linux (and Unix) platform.
- I always forget various shell commands (even the most basic).
- I'm not a professional Linux expert but just someone who occasionally must log into Linux to manage a website, hack his Tivo box, or get under the hood of his Android phone.
- My thoughts or information I've found to help with the worlds problems:
- Alternative energy sources, transport, and storage
- Health care
- Space exploration and, more importantly, colonization
- Efficient, stable, and just forms of government
- Religion
- Women
- Global threats from asteroids, gamma ray bursts, and bovine flatulence.
- Answers, besides 42, to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. I believe there is a purely determinstic solution and that God does not play with dice.
Basically, these are notes I've made to my self that I thought I would share with the world. Hopefully people when people toss their problems to a search engine, they'll find an answer from me. They won't have to do the work of rediscovering what I've discovered. I hope to earn world-wide fame and acclaim and maybe some advertising revenue.
