  • Moved to Amazon AWS and Gallery3

    If the site appears to load a little faster and pictures download a bit snappier that’s because I recently migrated from the web server under my desk to an Amazon AWS Micro Instance. I’m still running Ubuntu, but it’s in “The Cloud”. It’s really awesome to have the loud webserver under my desk shut off.…

  • Winter Jeeping

    As usual it’s been forever since I’ve updated my site. I went to see all of those shows in the previous post and they were awesome. Especially Menomena and The Thermals. Say Anything was pretty sweet too. I finished a simple Android app that can be used at work. I don’t use it. I’m trying…

  • First Android App – Almost Finished

    Tonight I started and almost finished the framework for my first Android app. 1. Edit my manifest to give me permissions to receive and read SMS. 2. Edit my manifest to point to a receiver class for SMS events. 3. Create a main class to stop and start the background Reader service. 4. I create…

  • Home PC – diagnosed at least

    Thanks to a very helpful Devon Kerr I now know what parts of my PC were causing my prior trouble. I was running a Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz LGA 775 in an Asus Striker Extreme mobo with 4GB of DDR2 800 RAM. I played around with every possible video card and ram combination (since I…

  • Busy lately – Camping, Jeeping, Motorcycling, Partying

    I haven’t posted in quite a while. That time has been filled with all sorts stuff. I’ve been riding my motorcycle around, going camping and Jeeping, Ward’s wedding, more motorcycling, and just hanging out with people around Raleigh and Chapel Hill. I guess I’ll start with links to albums in chronological order, just to document…

  • Jeeping with Wes: Catastrophe

    Just got back from Jeeping with Wes in Uwharrie. Wes decided to break in his BRAND NEW Jeep on the trail. He seriously got it no more than 10 days ago. It’s a 2004, but it was in pristine condition at the beginning of the day. I fixed that. Got the new off. Dumbass that…

  • WordPress on a new server!

    So I’ve switched to WordPress on a newfangled server (ok just a newer old server, my old 2.4GHz P4 “Quagmire”). Migrating all of my Serendipity posts out was sort of a bitch. I lost all my comments, and am thinking of adding them back. Here’s what I had to do to get my Serendipity info…

  • Jeep – 4″ Superlift – DONE!

    I just picked my 05 WK up from the shop last night. As promised here are the pictures of before and after, and some info for you. Jeep: 05 WK 4.7L Laredo Lift: 4″ Superlift w/ SSR Shocks Install Difficulty & Time: Professional Installation at 4WheelParts, 3 Days. Requires welding and cutting. Tires: 285/70-17 BFG…

  • Jeep WK 05 Front Tow Hooks

    I think I’m going to start taking pictures of projects and posting instructions. I always find the instructions to all sorts of things lacking. The only way I figure stuff out is to sit down and actually look at it. Hopefully this will help some random internet user, or will at least be interesting to…

  • Organizing people and things

    I’ve been thinking about a way to organize people and things. One idea I’ve been thinking about is a mailing list. I have two thoughts on this: 1. A mailing list like {group-list@bbbburns.com} that we make everyone in our group of friends a member of. If you have stuff to email everyone in the group..…
