Tracker. *ugh* don’t even get me started on a rant about Tracker… The GNome team forgot all about Linux philosophies somewhere along the way. So how to completely disable Tracker, so it no longer indexes any files, and stop having any Tracker process running in the background? You can mask the Tracker systemd services to… Read More »
When you need a not-as-common tool, sometimes you really need its functionality. I needed to recover a couple of mp3 files from a USB thumb drive. Fortunately, a quick Google search showed how to do this, quite easily, using TestDisk: Step 10 Again, bear in mind that Testdisk is a multi-function tool. Most of these… Read More »
Are you like me, and just got a new Android device whose manufacturer has the device configured to not allow adoptable storage for SD-Cards?

There’s a big blue box. It’s bigger on the inside than the outside. It can go anywhere in space and time, sometimes where it is supposed to go. Something will go wrong, and there’s some bloke called The Doctor who’ll make it all right because he’s awesome. Now sit down, shut up and watch Blink.… Read More »
I started this project in April 2010. I finished in December of that same year. Eight full months dedicated to reading the New Testament and then writing down my thoughts for the world to see. I have to admit that I have come away with a slightly different view of Christianity. It was very enlightening… Read More »
Those of you who read my last entry will realize that we have reached the end of the New Testament. For better or worse, this project is just about finished. I started reading and reviewing the New Testament in April 7th of this year (2010) and I will put a capstone on this project this… Read More »
We have arrived at the end of the universe, at the end of all things, and the creation of the new Heaven. At the end of Chapter 19, Christ led heaven to a final, climactic battle with the armies of evil. The White Rider trampled all enemies, and banished both the Beast and the Anti-Christ… Read More »
