Changes are Coming
February 9th, 2010
Blog Updated
December 13th, 2009
Update: I found and fixed the coding issues. The blog now validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional (December 21, 2009).
The blog template has been updated. I’m seeing some issues in the coding on this end and will be doing some troubleshooting. In the meantime, enjoy!
New Site Look
December 11th, 2009
A new site looking is rolling its way out on Simplistic Technologies. The new look and feel is available for every section of the site except for the blog at the moment. The blog will be receiving the new look as well as soon as I put together a template WordPress can use. Stay tuned.
Lancaster, CA Move
December 10th, 2009
About a month ago, my father and I relocated ourselves to Lancaster, CA. This should be a permanent move but are still looking to make the move permanent. Currently, we are residing in a motel off Sierra Highway but are busily looking for an apartment or house to move into, along with my oldest brother.
Will post more when we are finally permanent. Accepting clients even during this transition.
WordPress: Default Category
July 5th, 2009

Ubuntu: User Switcher Guest Session
June 4th, 2009
Ubuntu 9.04 offers the ability for Guest Sessions, through the User Switcher application docked on the top panel. This can be removed, if desired, by right clicking it and selecting Remove From Panel. With the User Switcher enabled, there will be no logout/shutdown/guest session or any of the other options available through the menu system. Removing the User Switcher yields a link to Lock Screen, Log Out [username], and Shut Down. However, there is no option for a guest session.
Ubuntu: Gimp Toolbox
June 2nd, 2009
I have been using Gimp for sometime, previously under Windows and now under Ubuntu. However, under Ubuntu it seems the default is to place the toolbox on top of the main Gimp window. This can be annoying, so here is a way to turn off this “feature”.
