Natural Deodorant: Day 2

Boy, howdy! I think we have a winner here, folks!

After 24 hours, I was only just starting to detect some man-funk under my pits.
A visual inspection showed no redness or irritation, which the Degree for Men gave me constantly…while also crapping out and making me stinky after about 10 to 12 hours.… Read the rest

Natural Deodorant: Day 1

So, I waited overnight for my deodorant to solidify.
It didn’t.
I tossed it, carefully, in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and that did the trick.
I then took a shower, with the deodorant out on the back of the toilet, to see if it would “melt” again or not.… Read the rest

Gold, Frankenstein and Myrrh

I had my knee operated on a couple of weeks back and I am starting to feel a little stir crazy. I am feeling better than I have in a long while, and the knee is pretty good, too.

I opened up my lappy at werk (not my werk lappy) and what did I find?

Trying to decide now if I go with an Intel 5300 or a 6300, which is about twice the cost ( ~$40).… Read the rest

Been screwing with this for the better part of two hours. I love working from home!

But, I can’t even get the laptop to see the adapter attached to the TV, let alone connect and then stream video.
It may be that this adapter has been rendered obsolete by Intel.… Read the rest

Never did find the HOWTO on installing a third antenna to get MIMO working on the netbook. Saw one jackass attached a massive 19dB antenna to the side of his 9″ netbook.
He was severely abused for this.

Was asked today about loading DD-WRT or Tomato on the new router. Turns out Cisco decided to turn up their middle fingers towards those projects. They screwed with the NVRAM in a way that the third party Devs cannot work around.… Read the rest
