Quote from EC: “If I don’t make it through the night, I just want you to know this - you’re a bad manager.”
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Ah yes, nothing like a little tornado warning and spending time in the basement with my eight year old son and (almost) four year old daughter. Contrary to what you might think, EC was not directing this quote at me. No, the target for this one was EC’s sister. I told EC that I didn’t realize his sister was a manager. He looked at me like I was the crazy one and then continued to contemplate (out loud) how he might die in a tornado tonight.

Monday, June 8, 2009
This one came last night as the family was taking a walk around the neighborhood. EC informed his mom and me that he had to pop some popcorn when he got home. He then added that he’d be leaving some milk out overnight and followed it up with the quote.

Kubuntu 9.04 WiFi Problem Solved
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I just upgraded to the latest beta version of Kubuntu 9.04 and after a reboot found that my wireless no longer worked. I believe this is because Kubuntu no longer uses the KNetworkManager app to configure wifi connections. If you’re having a similar issue try these steps:
- Right-click on the Task Manager bar and select Panel Options->Add Widgets…
- In the search type network
- Click on Network Management
- Click the Add Widget button
- Click the Close button
- In the Task Manager bar you should now see a new icon for the Network Management widget
- Right-click the Network Management widget and select Manage Connections…
- Click the Wireless tab
- Click the Add button
- Scan for your network and put in the proper settings for your wifi network
- Click the OK button once your wifi network settings are in place
- Click the OK button to close the Network Management widget
Note: You may be nagged for your KWallet password now when your computer boots. This is because the Network Management widget is using KWallet to store the wifi password. If anyone knows how to get around this, please feel free to share.
