As I started this entry I started to write about a few different topics however, I decided to condense it yet still (hopefully) hit all topics... so here goes.MusicFirst and foremost. Last night/very early this morning was one of the greatest times of my life. Last night One-Eyed Doll made their Chattanooga debut or as Kimberly likes to say, "day-butt." They appeared at JJ's Bohemia headlining a

This will be the first of last blog posts here on druid628.blogspot.com...it will be moving soon a permanent location. This was originally supposed to be temporary in my mind when I started my blog here. That was May of 2005.That post:Testing!Friday, May 6th, 2005Well I’ve decided that I’m going to try this out and use blogspot for a while as my blog.We’ll see how it goes.Well here we go almost

Over the past week or so I have been stepping back through the Six-or-so Joker's Cards of the Dark Carnival. For those who are already confused, I am referring to the series of albums by the Insane Clown Posse. For those who know me, I am a self proclaimed Juggalo. Though I have not been listening to ICP since the beginning, I actually got into ICP and the Dark Carnival in mid-to-late '96

...This transmission is coming to you...... from Samus.At the moment, thank God, I have gotten back into my PC in attempt to recover data from a PC I was reloading. I hope that once I finish with these three PC's that I will be able to spend some time investigating my own computer woes. Maybe then I can get my box reloaded with FreeBSD.So for the moment....good news.

Well, let me begin by saying how unhappy I am.Admission No. 1)I've had three PC's at my house for varying lengths of time. I have been trying to reload/repair/do something with each of these PC's ever since they came into my possession. I have felt less than zealous to complete these PC's since they are all for family and I wasn't charging for these.Admission No. 2)My home office has been a

So this evening I sat down to play on my MacBook Pro -- one which is among the many apple laptops which has issues with sleep/wake. I have tried multiple different solutions and the only one which seems to be the best fit is to let the machine hibernate when closing the lid and wake on power press. I recently have been attempting to rectify this problem with out much luck. So back to where I

So, let me tell you about my morning.I get up slightly later than my normal time, get ready, leave with in time for me to get to work. On my way to work I go from listening to a CD to listening to my iPod then to Sirius and when I couldn't settle on any music I switch over to some of the political talk.

As most of you know that I do not use my blog as a platform to hock new technology, however on occasion I stumble across something which catches my attention. As my wife would tell you that the only requirements for something to capture my attention is it needs to be either shiny, blue or both. Well today I am going to hopefully hold your attention hostage long enough to share this somewhat new

Finally got my copy of The Gathering Storm.I'm only about nine (9) chapters in, so far so good. Still seems very much like Robert Jordan.More to come as time goes on.

DruiD628 . com will soon feature a new expansion of the site built on Symfony (http://www.symfony-project.org/ ) for those who remember the Clan of the 628 app I had written previously and unfortunately lost due to the um... lack of backups by my old hosting company -- another story for another time.This will be a rebirth of that app. However since air travel is not a big thing for me anymore the

So, today is release day for Karmic... no Killer... yeah Killer Koala.As some of you know, I am an BSD crack-ho, however I use ubuntu at work. Using linux at work is fine by me it's still part of the Open Source, free, free-of-Macroshaft world. Yay! So far a couple of the guys here have updated to ubuntu 10.9 (a.k.a.

Ok, so here's the thing.I have not done the best when it comes to updating the DruiD Tablet.And if you have been following www.druid628.com you probably have learned that druid628.com has moved to a new hosting location which allows me much better control over not just the website but all things druid628.com.I have a few plans that I would like to do down the road but those depend on server space

Ok so in an effort to keep up with pop culture [from a purely academic standpoint not to "just fit in," HONEST] and understand what the big deal is I've started reading the Twilight series. I went to see Saw V yesterday and the Teaser #1 trailer ( http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/twilight/teaser_1_lg.html ) and I must admit it really peaked my interest unlike any of the TV spots or

Well, it's been just shy of a month since I posted. I have gotten behind on posting to the DruiD Tablet and SkullFudge ( I owe them SEVERAL articles about the history of Unix and why BSD rules). Well, a lot has come up since my last posting.First and most importantly, I am going to be a dad, mid-May!Secondly, since Talladega, not much else new has come to light, besides my pending fatherhood,

After three family reunions, [2 in Middle TN (1 of which I missed) and 1 on Sand Mtn] I had one more to attend. My last family reunion was this past weekend, it is the "Big One," consisting of 10's of thousands of members, it lasts all weekend.Where was I?I spent this weekend (3-5 October, 2008) down in the great state of Alabama, in Talladega Al-uh-BAMA!!

Anyone who read my most previous post about time travel probably thought of the same thing I always think of when I think of time Travel... DMC-12 that's right the DeLorean Motor Company DMC-12 bad-arse car from around 1981-1982. A little history for you,in 1982 the DMC was dissolved and around 1997 it was reconstituted and for a good reason. 11 years later DMC will be releasing their first car

This post is in response to a couple conversations I have had over the past month or so.This is not going to be your typical "Time Travel is possible because..." or "Time Travel is ridiculous because..."this is going to be me talking about what I would do.First off there are several things I would love to see that happened in the history of the world, to name a few:a.) the parting of the sea

This is a random thought, and is more directed to those who live near enough to pass or be near me on the road. I am going to try and keep this quick.First off, I am a rather 'aggressive' driver. If you happen to see me driving and want to get my attention to wave or something and plan to hit your horn please keep it to short multiple beep-like honks. Don't give me just one honk or more

Well apparently I caused a stir among several friends and people with the last post I made.I wanted to update those who expressed concern either via email, txt msg, phone call, blog comments or some form of communication.Recently as things have calmed down, I have had the opportunity to dig through some music to meet my emotions. In the process, I accidentally ran across a song that I hadn't

You know, there are times in stories where people leave to go somewhere or the story ends and when they do follow-ups with the characters they disappear and are never heard from again.For example, Radagast the Brown from Lord of the Rings as far as we know, he is not killed, but we never seem to hear from him ever again. What about Bertram, from The Sandlot, the last you hear of him is that, "

Well, for those of you who were wanting to know the name of my book [book one (1) anyway] well I have good and bad news. Bad news first, sorry you asked for it, you are going to have to continue to wait on the title of book one. The reason is the good news, as great and perfect of a title as it was for book one, it was even better as a title for the series, at least the first half of the series.

Alright, well as many of you know, I grew up in what I always called or thought of as a semi- but mild football town. My evidence to this was that the town almost shut down on Friday nights for football games, which could be reputed due to the fact that the streets rolled up at 6pm anyway. However, fast-food places would, because it was obviously good for business, stay open for extra hours

I'm tired of putting up with their stercus tauri.I decided to put my mind on some other topic, so after being introduced to a firewall application that I could run on one of my old linux boxes, I thought 'hey that would be a fun project to get my mind off of all this.' this being the problems I'm

Yesterday while my wife and I were driving our conversation briefly tuned into Sirius and how nice it is to have it especially on long trips. Well as the conversation continued for a few minutes I made the comment as to how nice it is to have one radio station even when I travel across zones.ZONES!?!OMG I've been playing MMO's for WAY TO long!No, I don't plan on stopping so :-P

As some of you know, I have started writing a book. The details I have to keep quiet for now but I figure I can at least update you on the progress. Well after a while of not doing much work -- other than in my head -- on my book, I have finally gotten back around to working on it. As many of you know, I have been planning this for a number of years. The content that I have in mind is more than I

Ok first let me start by saying, anyone who knows me knows, yes I am religious, I even recently rededicated myself to God and no I'm not a religious zealot who run around thumping people on the head with the Bible. Nor am I someone who stands in the street at Riverbend with a sign and says, 'You're going to Hell for going to Riverbend!!!' Don't even get me started on those guys... anyway... As

NHL Playoffs:Well it is official, now that the Stars have been eliminated from the playoffs I have one team that I can rally behind. As many of you know my team is the Penguins my next two teams that I support equally behind my Pens are the Thrashers and Predators. After each of those three teams were eliminated, the next team I support is Dallas. I remember when the Stars were in Minnesota and I

Alright I'm excited I just finished watching the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabers![w00t]x2Unfortunately my Smashville Predators lost to the Detroit Wings :-(Shortly prior to the Buffalo goal with 6 seconds left to go in 3rd period (OMG that makes me sick) I received a call from my brother-in-law, I'm going to see Atlanta take on the NY Rangers!

Yeah so I'm back from Vegas, we had a great time but I did learn a few things...1.) Walking from MGM/Grand and Luxor to Circus Circus is NOT a good idea.2.) If you get a Vegas "Map" from the Alamo/National people, do not expect any thing but the Strip to be drawn to scale. For example, just because even though it *LOOKS* like from the strip it is only two (2) blocks to the Hard Rock Casino/Hotel/

Ok, I came to two revelations this evening that I will share with you in mere moments. I will preface this post with a note that says, I will probably make edits over the next week, simply to allow my thoughts and frustrations time to settle.Ok first, for those of you who don't know what Emo is please visit the following site and read the definitions, Emo.

Texas. An interesting place. I recently returned from Laredo Texas. Laredo is the first place I have seen that has an airport smaller than Chattanooga's! Although I heard that Joplin, MO had a pretty small airport.DFW's airport was cool except for the dirty words bumping me off my flight back to Chattavegas!Then saying, "well we can put you through Chicago then to Chattanooga." To which I

I need a beer, not to drink... I need it to throw.As stated previously, I was at Talladega this past weekend (Oct 7 & 8).Let me give you a rundown of the weekend.Saturday:5am (edt): Wake-up; shower; get in the car~8am (cdt): I can't remember exactly what time we got to the campgrounds at Talladega. We finally found a place to camp, then we setup camp.~11am (cdt): We went to the speedway and hung

Finally getting outta town for the sole purpose of fun, this weekend, the 7th and 8th of October, I will be camping in a field surrounded by (most likely) drunk people or in a superspeedway surrounded by (most likely) drunk people.That's right it's a NASCAR race. Specifically I'll be in Talladega. [w00t!]x2So yeah, I'm gonna be completely devoid of contact this weekend (Can I GET A w00t w00t?)Go

Recently (as in only about 3 days ago) I went to my website... Everything was normal. About eight (8) hours later I went to check something on my site... My entire website had reverted to... oh about a month and A HALF AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean WHAT THE HELL!?! That makes at least the third time in the past year. However... this is the final straw. I am currently looking for a new hosting provider

Well my recent trip to Missouri was really a good one... except spending half the day in Cincinnati, Ohio on Friday September 1st. My trip started on Tuesday August 29th at about 12:30 departing from Chattavegas to Memphis, while in Memphis I was glad I was my usual observent and nosey self, I had just picked up a BBQ sandwich from...

Ok, as some of you know, I am a fan of NASCAR. Like all fans of the sport I have my drivers that I like and I have my drivers that I don't. One of those drivers that I don't like is the 48 Jimmy "Greasing the Palms of NASCAR" Johnson. At the time of this article's creation we are roughly 30 laps into the GFS Marketplace 400 in Michigan. It seems to me that when someone cuts a tire and goes on to

I just returned from my second week in Salt Lake City.For anyone who has never been, I do recommend going to at least visit it.A city with a neat history. Being someone who is very interested in religions and history... not to mention history of religions... I think it is definitely worth a visit. Also for the first time since I was in 8th grade (95/96), I could actually breath out of my nose it

As many of you know Sister Hazel was in Chatta-nowhere on Friday night, which was a GREAT early birthday present. Some of you know my affinity for Sister Hazel. I love the music they produce. The perfect blend of Southern Rock, Pop, Country and Soul.J (my wife) and I went Friday night to Rhythm and Brews. This was the first time I had actually been able to see them in concert -- having missed

First off, let me preface this with for those of you know don't already know my favorite music band is Slipknot. This is not a feature of myself that I hide anyone who spends any time around me could more than likely tell you who my favorite band is. As a fan of Slipknot, I understand that there is a certain stigma that is associated with "that" type of music from those who do not understand,

Not as many things truly get under my skin as sometimes appears to. One of the ones that truly does is someone asking your opinion and or what's going on and after you tell them they either don't listen to you, they blow you off, or they tell you that you are wrong.HOW CAN MY OPINION BE WRONG!?!THEN, WHY DID YOU ASK ME FOR MY OPINION!?!Today we had a server problem.

I'm touchy and sensitive; I have a really short fuse; I feel as though I could blow up at the next person that barks at me.I don't want people to talk to me; I don't want to be around people; just let me be; let me do my thing and do not bother me.

Over all, I loved Revenge of the Sith. I felt very complicated in my over all opinion of the film.It was not what I expected (in a good way and a bad way). The good way, they covered lots of areas with ease and was handled very well. The bad way, I felt that there were things done by Lucas that I call into question. First the movie is rated PG-13. A WELL deserved PG-13. If I had a child under
