Review of the BBC Series Survivors (2008)

Setting up an AFP (Apple Filesharing Protocol) on Ubuntu and a Firefly iTunes Media Server
One of the things I’ve been meaning to do for a while is set up my Ubuntu machine to share out the music I have on it. I run Amarok on the machine and love it, but that doesn’t help when I’m super lazy and don’t want to reach over for the linux machine keyboard […]

Esther M. Friesner’s The Sword of Mary: A Sequel
I posted earlier about the book Psalms of Herod, and generally didn’t come away from it with a good impression. The main detraction is that it is not a self-contained book. It just ends, abruptly. It was just by chance that I picked up the sequel, The Sword of Mary: A Sequel (at least the […]

Psalms of Herod and Architects of Emortality
Psalms of Herod This flight out I didn’t read many books. I only started one, Esther Freisner’s “Psalms of Herod”, but I didn’t even finish it on the plane. I ended up finishing it on the road sometime. I didn’t really like the book. It is set in some unspecified point of time in the […]
