Goodbey Neelix…
Somehow, it feels fitting to sit on the stomp of a 500 year old cut down oak-tree, as i am writing this sad news. As Spock said in "The Final Frontier" : It is a reminder that all things end. And it is of endings that I wish to speak to you today. In the…
SOS Blogger at sea.
Sometimes we forget just how much time we spend online. In direct communication via instant messaging, Skype, Twitter or surfing, downloading and sending emails back and forth. Allmost 90 percent of my day is spend in close proximity to a broadband connection ( at home and at work ) The other 10 percent is covered…
Free-books.

Stranger in a strange land.
Can’t believe its been this long since I blogged , so i should probably begin with ‘ Forgive me oh mighty inter-webs for being offline for a while" As pennants I will surely serve up 40 tweets to make up for my sinfull behaviour. But one of the reasons I have been so ‘unblogging‘ (mind…

A weekend doing .. nothing.
Life on the edge of real and Cyberspace might be super exciting, but once in a while we log of our systems and go "do something else". It may seem incredible to you guyz to think of Knight and Nyana wandering around in the land of "infinite desktop wallpaper resolution" (the ‘real world’) but with…
Kc223 "Switching your family to Linux."
Are you sick and tired of having to repair and remaster the Windows systems of friends and family ? Have you had pretty much enough of constantly having to clean viruses and mallware from aunty Jo’s computer ? Wouldn’t it be great if they all just used Linux ? Well, why don’t you switch them…
2 operating systems, One place to store your data.
Yep, its April fools day. According to the headlines the Google homepage just crashed (see to believe), Ubuntu is going to become an RPM distro and several other stupid newsstories that only prove that you are a complete idiot if you believe them. So I’m not even going to bother with telling you that I…
I am everywhere !
Bloghoggers might have noticed I’m a few posts behind. Reason for that are some time-intensive "real world issues" that have the nerve to cobble up my cyberpipes and have kept me away from my very important digital social life. A shame I know ! Even with the Blackberry offering at least some lifeline to my…
Cyber Rednecks are the Fall of Facebook.
After a very busy weekend I do want to take a little time to at least do SOME updating of the Blog, for otherwise rumours of my death will once again flourish wildly. My pet peeve today is with our ever so popular and beloved Facebook. Yes, the same Facebook that has decided to anally…
Why stop at one Battlestar : Enter the fanfictioned universe.
The one thing I love about the internet, is that you can always find "more" of whatever interests you. Take for example " Battlestar Galactica " Never mind the fact that the ‘remake’ of the series has both me and Nyana glued to the screen watching episode after episode if we can get our hands…

Play Classic Dos Games online.
I know how most geeks tend to come to the point of near orgasm when they talk about their powerful machines, fast video cards, heaps of onboard ram and how their system makes big blue cower away in a corner. They tend to boast that their computer can produce more frames per second then the…
Macbook vs Macbook Pro.
Those of you who have been following me on twitter probably know by now that I sold my old generation one Macbook this week. With mixed feelings I reinstalled the little while buddy and took it towards its new owners who were already jumping with joy to get their hands on it. I do say…
Knightwise on Hacker Public Radio episode 310.
For those of you who don’t know Hacker Public Radio, HPR is a podcast produced by a variety of hosts, that mostly deals with all things geek.

Mellow Monday : 5 Cd's and a Podcast for free.
Some mondays are a little different from other ones. Some mondays you jump out of bed, shout "Shakaaah" and bang on the walls to wake up your neighbours to make them enthousiastic about the upcoming week. You race downstairs and (after twittering ‘HELLO WORLD’) open the door and yell "Hello World" into "meatspace" (referred to…

Three Favorite Linux applications (at random)
