I felt like the appropriate words for this comic post should come from the Veggie Tales “Dance of the Cucumber”, where I would be the tomato.
…snip…
Larry: “Pepino bailarin, pepino bailarin, pepino bailarin”
Bob: “Dancing cucumber, dancing cucumber, dancing cucumber”
Larry: “Baila, baila, ya!”
Bob: “Dance, dance, yeah!”
Larry: “Miren al tomate”
Bob: “Look at the tomato”
Larry: “no es triste?”
Bob: “Isn’t it sad?”
Larry: “El no puede bailar.”
Bob: “He can’t dance.”
Larry: “!Pobre tomate!”
Bob: “Poor tomato!”
Larry: “El deberia poder bailar”
Bob: “He wishes he could dance”

GAH!
AWFUL!
As you may have noticed, things look a bit different. Wonky you say? Yeah, a little bit.
We wanted to get some “custom” theming in place to give the site a more fitting look. I was playing around with some very simple doodle-like ideas the other night and I wanted to get them up and start playing around with the style of the site (style as in CSS).
If things look a bit funky, I apologize (as I am directly responsible). I hope to tweak things a bit more over the weekend. More consistent colors would be a positive improvement.
So until then, please forgive some of the inconsistencies! We are moving things along and hope to have them ironed out soon!
It’s been a little over a month and I’ve lost over 25 pounds, sneaking up on 30 lbs. My pants are too loose and my shirts fit a little better (not so snug) and I can tie my shoes with a little more ease.
This is a far cry from the person I was three months ago, when my weight hit an all-time high of 245 pounds. For a former runner and cyclist, this was huge. No, it was HUGE! Never before had I felt so… awful. My sleeping habits were wonky, my general health was poor and I was gaining over a pound a month. It was time for a change.
In Part I, I discussed the idea of installing a Gentoo partition on my machine. Part II delved into the why and how of starting out, including my initial frustrations of installing Gentoo on a fresh Bootcamp partition. Part III discussed the rage and horror I felt when I thought I lost my data after installing Grub.
To wrap up this series, I’ll discuss why installing Gentoo was completely worth the steep learning curve and why I’ve found operating system bliss.

While I’m not at work or performing contracting duties, I write my own software in C. Obviously I require a revision control system and I’ve opted at this time for git.
In previous posts I’ve made no secret of my love for git. It’s a simple, elegant and fast revision control system that works just as well for a single developer as it does with a team of distributed developers.
Primarily I operate across three different machines: A Gentoo Linux partition, my primary OS X partition and my Eee PC running Moblin Linux. Here’s where distributed revision control systems really help, and where git in particular truly shines.

Now I’m going to talk about the RH portion of the CFRHB method of installing an operating system: RAGE and HORROR!
