Oh, man... Where do I even begin this post? And from which angle? How about I just start typing and figure it out when I'm done.... Yeah, that's what I'll do.

A little less than a month ago, my best friend's wife called me and told me she was planning a birthday party for her hubby. Well, Scott being my best friend and all, I thought this was a fantastic idea! After that, I didn't think too terribly much about it.
A couple of days after that, I remember Scott telling me that he really want...

Earlier today I wrote about my experience trying to get a Logitech Orbit AF webcam installed in Gentoo Linux.
About 2 hours later, I finally got Skype 2.0 beta to work (after figuring out a problem with QT), and upon loading it, configuring it, and finding someone with whom to test it (thanks, mindjuju), I finally got a webcam to act as a streami...

Logitech Orbit AF and Gentoo

This morning, I ended up with a new toy in my hands and as luck would have it, I also had a couple of hours to mess with it.
The device is a Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF webcam.

Very interesting that they took the time to tell us that Ammon not only rehearsed what King Benjamin said to the Nephites, but that he then explained it to them that they might understand it. Not sure why that struck me this time, but it did. (verse 3)
