  Wheat From Chaff life hacking, lifestyle, technology | (2)

  Today, we actually have a guest post for you. Sara is trying like crazy to avoid the mommy-blogger label, and sends out missives from her secret New Mexico lair on Misfit In Any Space and Schizodigestive. Sara is also awesome, a dedicated reader, and you are commanded to love her. It sucks to be poor. When you have no money -- or when you're being very careful with your money -- it seems like commercials are everywhere. (Hint: This might be because they are.) I'm used to ads in magazines, on billboards, and of course on ...

  Running Ubuntu, Part Three gadgets, goat-free intentions, how-to, software, technology | (2)

  For previous entries in this series, check out part 1 and part 2. As usual, you can click on the pics to see them full-sized, so you know what I'm talking about. Alright, last time we figured out what flavor of Ubuntu to install, downloaded it, successfully burned it to a disk, and loaded the disc boot screen. The next thing I did was use the "Check CD for Errors", because, why not? Awesome, no errors found! Also, good lord my screen is dirty. Sorry about that. Ok, so I press any key, and the disc reboots the computer and we're ...

  Running Ubuntu, Part 2 goat-free intentions, technology | (2)

  Check out part one of the Ubuntu series. Last week, we went over the very basics of what Linux and Ubuntu are, as well as some vague guidelines for who might be a good candidate for installing Ubuntu without a lifeguard. This week, we dive in. Ready to go? I just got a brand new Dell Inspiron 1721, preloaded with Windows Vista. Dani's installed Ubuntu on several computers I use, but I've never installed it before, so here's the blow-by-blow account of my experience. I'm going to assume that everyone reading this is installing on a Windows XP or 98SE machine, or ...

  Running Ubuntu, Part One frugality, kitchen sink, software, technology | (3)

  Sara, at ParentingToddlers.net, encouraged me to do this, so blame her for what follows. Frugality comes in some funny packages sometimes. It was said by someone smart that, if you want to use an alternative to windows, you can either spend money and get a Mac, or you can spend time and use Linux. As far as I can tell, this is a hopelessly true statement. Since I have far more time than money, I've made the switch over to using Linux to run my computers instead of Windows. Linux is is the basis for a variety of computer operating systems. It's ...

  Simplicity, thy name is Feedburner simplicity, technology | (0)

   Every Thursday is Goat-Free Simplicity day at Living Behind the Curve. Just a quickie for you guys today.  I want to share with the world exactly how much I love Feedburner. It takes the relatively simple matter of dealing with WordPress syndication feeds, and makes them better. If you have more than one website, you can cluster all your feed information in one place. You can tweak it and sprinkle cheese on top, and all your work results in a fun little bar graph that records your subscriber numbers, and all sorts of nifty stats you can check like a ...
