Travel food
Every road trip should start with a hearty meal from your favorite fast food joint – I’m currently enjoying a Teriyaki bowl from Jack in the Box.
Matt, Neek, and I are heading down I-5 South listening to dance on XM radio on our way to SCaLE. In a little bit I am going to install PC-BSD 7.0.2 on Matt’s new Lenovo IdeaPad with the red magnesium case. That shit is phat.
That’s all I haz for now.

No, I am not asking for comments. I’m just wondering if the people that spend time commenting on posts are crazier than the people that spend all their time reading them or if, in fact, they are many times the same nutty person or people.

Party time before SCaLE
It’s 2:35am. Matt, Neek, and I are sitting on the couch in various states of tech madness. Neek is having fun beautifying a picture she uploaded to http://www.taaz.com, Matt is looking for a WordPress app for his iPhone that doesn’t suck, and I am posting this blog from my Android using PostBot. So far it works well enough. PostBot is neat and makes posting pics with a blog post ezgg.
Now I just hope this app doesn’t crash while I post this (which seems to be an issue with android apps). I am generally dissapointed in the reliability and performance of the phone. The iPhone really does make everyone else look silly – especially with the large collection of great apps.
Enough for now, I will post tomorrow on the wonder filled car ride to L.A. SCaLE, here we come!

I would have to completely disagree with what you say how good PC-BSD is. And for the record, I do not use Linux, I do not have Linux installed on any systems. With the code they develop on top of FreeBSD for PC-BSD has consistency issue, and just don’t think they pay close enough attention to code correctness, I think it gets sluggish. Although my first choice is always to use OpenBSD on everything, I have set up FreeBSD as a desktop system. All I do is select minimal install, populate ports and source, patch the system, compile KDE4 from ports, and I find everything runs better and quicker that way. Once Firefox has been compiled from ports, I have seen it load instantaneously when you select it from KMenu. With PCBSD being developed for people who don’t know any tech stuff, and their own lack of proper auditing of code in the manner of say OpenBSD, I see definite performance issues, and some speed issues. I think it just gets bogged down. So that is why I would definitely disagree with what you say about how good PC-BSD is.
