As [mentioned previously](http://trainque.com/index.php/2005/03/15/damn-laptop-power-problems/), I have been having some problems with my Compaq Presario 2100 laptop’s power supply lately. The problem was that when I plugged in a power source into the back of my laptop, my laptop wouldn’t recognize that a power source was plugged in. As a result, the light in the front wouldn’t […]
Jeremy has posted a great list of applications optimized for USB drives.
I just recently got a thumbdrive, and now (thanks to these optimized apps) I can use Firefox, Sunbird, Thunderbird, and more where ever I go. Geektastic!

I know the problem isn’t with the battery, because with some fiddling I used to be […]

Yeah, so I was in Newbury Comics earlier today and saw that they had a copy of the [much-talked about](http://www.fleshbot.com/sex/straight/amateur/boink-magazine-032249.php) first issue of [Boink magazine](http://get-boinked.com/) on sale.
For those who are unfamiliar, Boink is the controversial porn magazine created by some students at Boston University. The magazine calls itself “the college guide to carnal knowledge.”
Not […]

So I’ve decided to go back to hosting Google Ads. I took them down for a while, because I was undecided on whether hosting ads was something I wanted to do on my personal website, but (as you can see on the right) they are back.
Some people may say that ads don’t belong on […]
