But what I realized was that the whole WPA thing with my laptop added to the pile of “little problems I haven’t solved yet.&# Of course with my mac, I opened up the system preferences, checked a button, and, voila!

Paul Hawkin, in his book, Natural Capitalism , finds that the volume of material that goes into manufacturing a laptop is 4,000 to 1.

The only time I shut down this laptop is when I’m taking it somewhere, which is relatively rarely. 90% of the software I want to install I just install by saying “apt-get install name_of_package&#.

I have had varied problems , from issues of software integration, video problems, wireless issues … The list is getting very long.

Symfony November 6, 2008 In my new explorations of PHP web application development, it seemed a good idea to get a look at both CakePHP and Symfony. Both of them seem to be PHP’s answer to Ruby on Rails. The approaches are similar and different to each other.
