I have been a webOS advocate since I first installed the emulator on my computer and saw just what the software could do. WebOS has seen some much needed updates over the past year but there are still some things that I feel are lacking or even completely missing as it is today. I just …
I was thinking the other day, you know what my site needs? More rants. That is exactly what I bring you today cause I am finally fed up with something in the technology industry. What exactly am I fed up with? Well, a lot of things, but this particular post is about the complete disregard …

The next parts will be about configuring the software past the initial installation. Sorry for the sound quality. I had to use my digital camera for video (which is …
I have been working on my MythTV box for some time now and finally got around to editing the first part of the how to I recorded when setting it up. The first part is just about setting up the hardware (not much new), but the second part (and probably third and forth) is going …

This is similar to OSX but instead of “/System/Library/User\ Templates/English.lproj” being our template directory. It is “/etc/skel”.
