I probably have too many domains.

I have probably registered too many domains. I can not keep up with all the web work in front of me. I also rarely blog anymore.

I have become a professional computer programmer.

All those late nights reading computer books and using the Internet seem to have paid off. I am a professional programmer these days with volunteer duties in Internet studies with some of the world's well known scholars of the Net.

Studies going back to legal studies and in particular criminal law and politics.


Criminal law and politics is a vast subject where murders, wars and other death are woven around themes of politics. Life too and high ideals can be combined with law cases and regional politics to make a study. At present I am reading about privacy, surveillance and a fair amount of technology.

I have been using Dell Computers lately.

The first Dell brand computer I bought was a Dell Mini 9 netbook with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I owned it for a year and a half but rarely used it. I did take it with me to one on campus university class I had last winter, in the winter of 2010. I found it light weight. I ended up giving it to child in my life and left Kubuntu installed on it for that child.

The second Dell computer I bought was an Inspiron 1545 and I used this for 1 year and then sold it to a musican friend who paid me back every month until now he has almost paid it off completely.

I still owe money to Dell Financing for both of these machines.

Blogs at CyborgCitizen back online for writing.


I have not been able to write here since moving this site off Yahoo. I can now blog again because my new hosting provider fixed the Moving Type blog for me today.

I have been fasting for climate justice this past 40 days.

I did some fasting for climate justice these past days. I did not fast for more than two days at a time. In the last days of Copenhagen I was tired and lacking energy at work so did not complete the fast or celebrate with others.

I opened two linux-netbook sites

I was inspired by this site http://www.linux-netbook.com to open these two sites to provide information about Linux on Netbooks. http://www.linux-netbook.org and http://www.linux-netbook.net

My latest computers are Dell laptops because of easy financiing.

I was able to buy a Dell Mini 9 netbook and enjoy carrying it around all the time. I do not use it for email or money stuff but enjoy social networking with it and reading online documents. I also use a Dell Inspiron Laptop with 15 inch screen and use this for Eve Online. The Mini 9 runs Ubuntu and the Inspiron runs Vista 64 bit and also Debian 5.0. I did have the Dell Inspiron running Kubuntu for a while which is a KDE version of Unbuntu but I found it very limited so switched back to Debian.

I voted in the Mountain Equipment Cooperative election again.

Again I have voted in the election of the board of directors for the one coop I belong too. I have also finally bought what I consider the signature item from MEC: a red cycling jacket. Also I have bought this past month new winter gloves for my partner and a rear rack pack. The rear rack pack now holds my tool kit, tires, tubes and pump. I also bought a new rear light as I broke my last one this winter cycling in a storm. I am not happy with the attachment that the present breed of cycling lights have they are far too flimsy. We also did not do well with the down jacket we bought my partner as it tears easily and is now full of taped up holes leaking down. My main concern is increasing quality of the gear we sell and buy. I voted for two experienced candidates and one newcomer. My grandfather who started as a farm educator in the working world was also into coops. So yes I respect elders.

The recession and my survival, no strike three

I spend the recessions of the early 1980's and early 1990's basically unemployed and sick. I just got a promotion at work. So this time I have not struck out.
