I was on Stephen Fung’s site recently and noticed that he’s running the Commentluv plugin. I though this plugin was a great idea and it would be the perfect addition to the Do Follow movement, so I’ve installed it here on Samanathon.com!

What this means for you, dear reader, is that I will disable FeedBurner from handling my feed information, so you need to revert your feed reader’s address for this site to: http://samanathon.com/feed. I really don’t look at the metrics from FeedBurner and there’s no reason why they should be getting all my PageRank love! For more information, please read: Don’t Let Your CommentLuv Be Stolen Away!

What Does The Commentluv Plugin Do?

Commentluv ads a checkbox to the bottom of your post’s comment form that gives your commentator the option of adding a link to their latest post to the end of their comment. This means that, in addition to a link to their site in their name, they get a deep link to their latest article! The more you comment on blogs that use this plugin, the more deep links you get to different articles!

Today’s my birthday! Yeah me - I get to be on a plane that’s headed to Las Vegas all day.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I’m too freakin’ busy with school and work right now Hopefully, life will slow down soon.

Speaking of school, it’s going great: I just finished my first class and received a B (if you know anything about my high school days, that’s like 37 A’s)!! So far, classes have just been on theory, but I’m liking them a lot! Other then that, I feel like I’m drowning in my work load - between it being the “busy season” at work, homework from school and the life with the girls, I feel like I have zero free time (and sanity is quickly fleeting).

As some of you know, I have been using Linux lately - I started with Ubuntu and now I’m trying LinuxMint, it’s pretty cool but it might be “too Windows”…. We’ll see, Gutsy Gibbon just came out and I really want to try it so I might be reformatting that partition soon. Mean while, I haven’t booted Vista in over 3 months and I have to keep XP for work (I know I could run XP virtually, but who’s got time for that? ). For those keeping count: I’m multi-booting 3 OS’s on my machine. Saman=Geek.

Mineral Oil Submerged Computer Construction Video

Anyway, lately I have been talking about building a Mineral Oil Submerged Computer. This isn’t me in this video, but the guys from Puget Custom Computers. They’re the inspiration behind all of this. I thought it would be a great pet project and now I’m thinking about building a Media Center PC since I stumbled onto LinuxMCE. After watching the great 25 minute demo video (below), I’m blown away!!

Now I haven’t mentioned any of this to my wife yet but I plan on starting this project around Christmas (and maybe, one day, I’ll get around to building my carputer). Just imagine: You walk into our house and see this great aquarium (rocks, scuba diver and all) and realize there is PC hardware where the should be fish! Not to mention that that computer can be controlled from my iPhone (which I don’t have yet, but I’m sure that one of you will be buying me before my upcoming birthday)!! So, if anyone has some spare computer parts that they’d like to donate, contact me and I’ll be more then happy to spread some Page Rank 5 love your way!

So that’s all for now, I need to get back to my research paper but rest assured that I’m just as geeky as always (and maybe more so). I realize that this was more of me rambling then an actual post and I apologize if I jumped around a bit (welcome to life in my head)….

Guile Says 'Read These Related Posts!'

I just wanted to let you all know that I’m still here: I just finished my first online class at the University Of Phoenix. Between writting a research paper and it being our busy season at work, I have been pretty swamped! In case you were wondering, I’m working toward the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology/Information System Security degree - I’ve only seen GenEd classes so far, but I am really looking forward to my core classes!

That being said, I hope to resume posting more great XP Tips and Tricks soon!

Racoon Mario Suggests You Read These Related Posts:

If you are a regular visitor to Samanathon.com, you might have noticed that I’ve moved my sidebar from the right to the left of the main content. I did this because the iTheme is becoming so popular, I thought I’d try to make the site stand out a bit…

What do you think?

Try to approach that question with an open mind (I can’t seem too, the site just doesn’t “feel” right with the sidebar on the left).

Here is a link to an image comparing the two different versions. So, any comments/suggestions?
