What, Not Windows Again!
Yes, I’m afraid so. Me, a die hard linux devotee, is using Windows. But it’s really not all that much of a crisis just a matter of convenience. See I’m preparing to take an online art class at Schoolism and the teachers there are using photoshop for quite a few assignments. So in an effort [...]
How To: Erase A Linux Hard Drive
Last week I talked about repartitioning a linux hard drive. That method was fine for repairing a damaged partition but did nothing to delete data that could possibly be recovered. Although there may be no definitive way to delete data and prevent it from ever being recovered, there are definitely some ways to make it [...]
My Experiences In Web Design: Part 2
(This article is part of an ongoing series about my first experiences with redesigning some of my sites and blogs. This is a live series meaning that the redesigns haven’t been deployed yet but are in development. Each article in the series is a step in the development process as it is happening.)
Alright, this article [...]
Media That Inspires Me: Star Trek
I was born in the small town of Mer Rouge, LA. Actually it’s not even a town, it’s a village. I consider it a village in decline now because the new generation of inhabitants are leaving in search of greener pastures and better opportunities. I can’t blame them though, I left too. But I spent [...]
Late Night Post: Possible Logo
Well I was just thinking that it would be kind of neat to have a logo for HighTechSister. So while taking a break I sketched up a few ideas. After I came up with one I kind of liked, I tried to ink it in both GIMP and Inkscape. Now I’m not really a digital [...]

How To: Partitioning A Linux Hard Drive
A lot of my friends who use linux still don’t use it for partitioning and repartitioning their hard drives or for making and deleting partitions. From reading some of the information available about formatting hard drives under linux, you would think that it is infinitely hard. Most of the stuff I’ve come across recommends that [...]
I Don’t Miss The Office Politics
This weekend I took a much needed break from coding and read Bill Blunden’s book, Cube Farm which basically documents his perilous journey through software engineering in a corporate environment and the office politics that came with it. The book is short and makes for an easy read.
I’ve had the book for a while but [...]
Dynamic Embedded Custom Font Generation
While working on a project this weekend, I came across a problem that I thought had a simple solution. I simply wanted to embed a custom font in a web document. I only wanted to use the custom font on a small area of text and have the rest of the text remain in the [...]
Where Have All The Hobby Operating Systems Gone?
With web applications, web programming, and social media being the current buzz these days, I don’t hear a lot about people getting homegrown operating systems off the ground that much. In schools, at least the one I attended, operating systems is covered more at a theoretical level than at a practical level. I’ve been contemplating [...]
