Labor day?

September 6, 2004

Lumbergh’s gonna have me work on Saturday. I, I can tell already… Non-disclosure prevents me from discussing the 40 hours I’ve worked this weekend. And there was much rejoicing.

Die

If the drive home proves to be anything like the drive in, someone is going to die.

Running Verisign Payflow Pro under PHP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core

August 17, 2004

When running Verisign Payflow Pro under PHP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core, all of the SDK instructions assume that PHP is getting recompiled and reinstalled from scratch. This is all well and good on testbed systems, but not so hot for productions systems that use subscription-based package and security updates. Luckily, pfpro.so […]

High Power Wi-Fi Cards

August 6, 2004

In addition to the ORiNOCO Classic Gold PC Card, the Senao NL-2511CD PLUS EXT2 is a favorite among radio geeks that Wardrive with dual diversified antennas. Pushing 200 mW with two antenna jacks, a 3 dBi or 5 dBi short range antenna can be used to pick up close signals in tall buildings while an […]

Aaron is selling a new JDM Carbon Fiber Tongue. Why carbon fiber? Because it’s hard to damage!

Free Radio Shack 21-905 Fiberglass CB Whip Antennas

August 3, 2004

After surviving Maine Forest Rally this past weekend, I started looking into antenna options so the service truck could talk to the rally car. I checked out Radio Shack for CB antenna options and, on a whim, asked the clerk if they had any 102″ whip antennas in stock. Turns out that Radio Shack are […]

Google Web Alerts

July 27, 2004

Google has introduced a new Web Alerts service that sends out notifications of new pages crawled that contain chosen keywords. Much like their News Alerts services, Web Alerts is still in beta and may or may not stick around. I’ve already created a couple dozen once-a-day alerts to keep me informed of Trunk Monkey sightings.

Head-on collision on 128S in Lexington?

How the heck does a head-on collision occur on 128S in Lexington? It’s a multi-lane divided highway for chrissakes. Right at Exit 31b around 10:25 AM there was a minivan facing oncoming traffic in the left lane with a sedan firmly implanted in its grille. I had the Digital Rebel with me, but I was […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh!

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter).
