Talkative Little Peripherals

I installed Cacti last week. Cacti graphs, among other things, transfer statistics from SNMP-capable devices such as my Apple Airport Extreme router. These graphs that Cacti makes show me wifi use as well as my total internet use. Generally this is more vaguely interesting than useful. Generally. So, riddle me

Multiplication Table Drills

Alright, there. As far as I'm concerned it is stable and sufficiently functional to be usable. You can have multiple users. A different problem set size can be configured for each user. A checkmark indicates whether the user has completed a set for today. And annoying sounds pester

Multiplication Table Drills

My father worked some voodoo magic with a spreadsheet back when Excel fit entirely on a single-side floppy and concocted a multiplication table drill program that he inflicted upon us every evening after school. Of course it wasn't too much later that I actually appreciated the benefits of

47% = ~500

FedEx = Awesome

While in Missouri my productivity tanked when my laptop suddenly decided that it would only function up-side-down (while on battery power); an inconvenient arrangement to say the least. More than one person helpfully suggested that I could place the keyboard on my feet while lying on my back.... I was

Posh

I'm sitting in the Memphis Delta Sky Club this evening, enjoying cheese, crackers and wine while waiting for my delayed connecting flight to Atlanta. There aren't very many circumstances in which an unplanned over-night stay is a bonus, but this might be one of them. Well,
