Sell or trade old games

So everyone is on board with the community lending and selling model.  Nintari.net is the latest on Lifehacker.com to be mentioned as a source for cash or trading games.  What I don’t like is it seems to offer the ability to sell your games or trade them.  What I like about Crowd Rent is that [...]

No end in sight for this recession…

So this recession is looking like it’s not ending soon.  It’s really unfortunate for those people out of work.  I’m hearing stories everyday about small businesses laying off their entire staff, people losing their jobs, and companies closing their doors.  While I feel for even largee businesses struggling I truly feel for the smaller companies.  [...]

Ubuntu 8.10 and the Asus Eee 1000h netbook

Once I was able to locate a USB CD drive installing Windows XP Pro and Linux was easy.  I gave Windows a 100 gig partition and Ubuntu a 60 gig partition.  Seeing 8.10, I’m sort of wishing I skipped the Windows install all together.  As someone who has dabbled in Linux for 10 years now [...]
