Have you installed Cellwriter? Do you have the problem where the input will seemingly randomly be disabled? If so, you can download the source and then edit cellwidget.c in the /src directory.By commenting out the line that readsgdk_device_set_mode(event->device, GDK_MODE_DISABLED);(just put // at the beginning of the line for those of you who aren't familiar) you can fix your problem.

Facebook is a problem. A problem that will eventually sort itself out. I hope.The biggest problem with Facebook/Myspace is that they both put a face on internet activities. This is a problem because one of the greatest goods the internet offers is the ability to become anyone you want to be. You have the ability to flesh out ideas and test them in a world that is free from most serious reprisals.

Sadly, the Arkansas Lottery was approved... as if there weren't already enough poverty in the state, now all the stupid poor people have to pay tons and tons of money to a lottery.Awesome!

So... Now that Mr. Obama has been elected (of course he won't be stuffed into office for a few weeks now), let's see if we get the change he promised us.I'm hoping for more sanity in the White House... and I hope he's not a complete slime ball. We shall see.

In his blog, roscivs mentions a Go project he's working on. My program is intended to help practice these “life and death” shapes in an incremental way, by memorizing simple shapes first, then memorizing what moves lead to those simple shapes, then memorizing more and more moves incrementally until one can simply see, at a glance, the correct move.This got me thinking.

And so it draws to close... I often use these mostly quiet moments to reflect, and the current subject of reflection is my current trip to visit my fiancé. She is such a beautiful creature, and I constantly marvel at how I've been blessed. As usual it seems that the worst part of the trip is the impending departure. I feel at the moment, no emptiness or sorrow, for who could when so near the

Well, in 4 minutes I get to call my Geekheart. So in that time let's see how quickly I can post.For those of you who live under a rock, Google released their Chrome browser quite some time ago. It's a pretty sweet browser, with a very minimal design (I like minimal). The most amusing thing I've found with the browser so far is the way that many of Google's shortcuts don't actually work with the

I can't remember if I wrote it down, and where I may have written it... but it seems to be coming true. I had an observation, that "money", at least hard currency, really doesn't exist any more. Oh, sure, you can put it in your wallet, but that doesn't really mean it really exists. Specifically, they (the banks) have given out more money than actually exists, and now people are panicking just a

So, if you haven't heard about the new Google Chrome browser... you're missing out. It rocks my socks.Though a lot of people freaked out about section 11 in the TOS, which Google really just copied verbatim from it's other EULA's.Some people worried it was designed for some malicious intent, but I'd say Google's response overwhelmingly suggests that this is not the case.

"Braaaaains""You have got to be kidding me!" I thought to myself as I sprinted out the door. "Really? Zombies? I mean, really?"At 6'2", 185 pounds, dirty blond hair, and blue eyes, I really didn't consider myself "fit" so much as "not out of shape." However, I was never much of a sprinter, although running for my life gave me a little boost of stamina. Luckily, just like the movies, these zombies

And unless you've been living under a rock, you also know that people are trying to save money, by shopping at the cheapest gas stations.

Right now I'm on my favourite seat in the house, probably until I leave for work. Yesterday was pretty awesomesauce, because I got to fast with my geekheart. It was wonderful, and I look forward to the next time we can. And of course each and every subsequent time.

Here in Poteau Oklahoma they have this town square. I really like it... as you may be able to see, there are several benches with tables, there's a nice fountain, a mural, and some greenery. So far, every time I've been here it's been empty... of course it has been 8 am. Still, it's a nice little nook in the center of town. More cities should have this sort of thing.

This article brings to light some interesting research. Basically, when you ask two people to guess about something, the average of their two guesses is closest to accurate. When you ask a group of people, the accuracy increases.And that sort of phenomenon could be expected. However, the strange thing is that when someone guesses *twice* - differently than their first, the average is also closer.
