Tech Weekend – TrueCrypt
Since I have a BitCoin Wallet now I figure I should probably have an encrypted offline storage mechanism for all the keys and the wallet file itself. If best practices have been followed then your Wallet is password protected already, but let’s go ONE MORE step and encrypt them on a USB drive. So far…

Tech Weekend – Barley
I realized I’ve been seriously neglecting my blog. Mike Rundle (@flyosity) posted a quick link to Barley showing they had Word Press support. I watched the video and was pretty impressed. WYSIWYG editing for a blog. I just GO to the site and can start typing into the web page. AWESOME! I’m having some…

Tech Weekend – BitCoin
Project #1 Today: BitCoin Today’s first item on the agenda was to figure out how BitCoin works and then invest some money into the thing. I had thought that anonymity was a cool part of BitCoin but it looks like if you ALSO want the convenience of sitting in your underwear at home you’ll need…

Tech Thanksgiving
Work has been insane lately. Big projects all happening at the same time and things going wrong unexpectedly. I’m writing because I finally have a 4 day break from work. 4 days is just long enough to stop thinking about all the stressful things I’m confronted with during a normal day. With these 4 days…

Spent On Rainy Days – Bright Eyes
Fell in love with a new song. Thought I’d share: I think I’ll print it in the personals that I’m looking for a match. Someone to light me up. Someone to burn the proof of the things that I’ve done. -Bright Eyes – Spent On Rainy Days

Farmer’s Market Min Maxing
Heather decided we should hang out at the Farmer’s Market. I’m totally cool with this because it means breakfast followed by the purchase of fresh eggs. I realized I have the same problem at the Farmer’s Market as I do in major MMOs or RPGs that I play. It’s all about stats and numbers. Vendor…

Hiking Pilot Mountain with Wes
I decided to take Wes up on some of our prior conversations where we talked about hiking around various NC mountain spots. We took a Saturday and spent it at Pilot Mountain hiking for about 9 miles. This was an excellent trip and I’m glad we decided to hike the whole thing instead of just…
