Open Source Content Management System List
I thought I would help this guy out by linking to his site. If you ever need a Content Management System, he looks like he has a handle on several.
Open Source Content Management System List
[Update 2007-03-16 07:26:37] When I was migrating this post over, I realized I had totally forgotten about blogging about it. I then went and decided on phpNuke without consulting this list. I then decided to ditch phpNuke in favor of Joomla …again without consulting the list. I'll post a review of each in the future.
PAC-MAN is 25
Thought you all would be interested to know. When I was a kid, I played this game all the time. I even worked my way up to the two Atari symbol level once. Man, that was fast.
Read about half way down and you will find this link about a life-sized PAC-MAN game. Very interesting
Very Very High Quality Pictures
Have you ever wanted to take very very high quality digital pictures? Then you may find this interesting.
Gentoo, again
I finally got another Linux box set up. Once again, I chose Gentoo. Probably the main reason I chose them was their emerge utility. Want to install someting? Simply type emerge –search APP_NAME. Once you have found it, enter emerge PACKAGE_NAME. The application (and any dependancies) are downloaded, compiled, and installed.
I have one additional box I want to put something on. Right now, it has Windows 95, but I think I'd like to play with something different. Any reccomendations? It has a Cyrix P200+ processor (no MMX support), two 4GB hard drives, and 32 MB RAM.
More on Sprint
Well, the PRL–preferred Roaming List–update to our phones didn't help at all. So, Cyndi and I went back to the Sprint store to have them checked out. We had to leave our phones there overnight, so Sprint gave us a loaner phone to try. it was a Sanyo RL-4920. Just an FYI, it had no issues last night. No dropped calls. No garbeled calls. Everything sounded great. I'll let everyone know what happens when our current phones are upgraded.
Sprint Home Phone “Device”
We went to the Sprint PCS store yesterday and saw an interesting device. Imagine a box with an antenna and a phone jack. You plug your home phone into it and get cell phone service. What an interesting idea. This looked really cool. I'd post a picture, but I cannot find one online. If I needed home phone service and didn't care about privacy (remember, anyone can listen in on a cell phone conversation) I would think about doing this. Imagine free sprint-to-sprint to your home.
Sprint
Cyndi and I have Sprint cellphone service. When we moved to Richmond, we had kind of poor service (even though we had atleast a bar on our phones). We went to the Sprint store, and the guy gave us a new PRL (preferred roaming list) as a first step. He said that was the easiest thing to try.
Last night, it didn't seem to help much, but we'll give it a few days to see what happens. He also mentioned that they could check our phones. However, that would take 1.5 hours. We were chit-chatting a bit and mentioned that it may also be a capacaty issue. We explained the problem to him, and he said that it could be. I guess we will just wait and see.
I really like my sprint service. I like them as a company. I especially like the free Sprint-to-Sprint calling. So, I hope this really works out.

Alan sent me a link to this today, and I think it is cool. The possibilities are endless!
