Pogoplug

These tiny and cheap computers are amazing. Not sure what I would do with one, but they supposedly use one tenth the electricity so running a green blog using only solar or wind power would be a fun project.

Pogoplug is on sale now for $99.

Tonido Plug is comming soon for only $89.99.

Cook for Good

May 28th, 2009

I found Cook for Good as usual from a lifehacker post. It was interesting to see how you can cook from scratch for $1.16 per meal which is, in some states, less than the food stamp allowance. Unfortunately, the plan is vegitarian but some of the recipies look good. I’m not sure any meal plan can “save the planet”, but to get started there was a rather long lesson on how to make a pot of beans.  So I soaked some dry navy beans overnight and cooked them in the crockpot all day Saturday and did my part to save the world.

L’Avion Experience

I’m leaving tomorrow to return to the US on L’Avion airlines.  logo_elysair

Yes, the plane is purple inside and outside.  I’ve never seen the movie, but some say it looks like the Soul Plane. You decide.

The trip to Paris was very long on Tuesday into Wednesday.  Almost 4 hours delayed departure on top of the 8 hour flight, not to mention getting to Newark a couple hours early to check in. I may think twice about using them again. Other than the delay, it was a good experience.

Note: Although I fit their definition (traveling between NY and Paris for work), I don’t really want to be known as a Paryorker.

Orange Blossom Bread a.k.a Garbage Bread

March 1st, 2009

Just finished making a loaf of what was, and still is, affectionately called Garbage Bread in the Reasor house. Made from the orange peel of three oranges rescued from a trip to the local dump. It came out a little more cake-like and less dense than I remember.

Outage due to changes by service provider

January 16th, 2006

More downtime for resor.com in January. Changes by my long-term service provider to discontinue the static IP service I have used since 1997 caused the site to be unavailable form 3-Jan-2006 to 16-Jan-2006.

I will continune to use the same dial-up service provider for now, with an additional dynamic DNS service offered by another provider. However, I am thinking about more changes to make reasor.com more available and faster. Just need to find the time to set things up.

lightning strike takes out modem and more

November 12th, 2005

On Sunday 6-Nov-2005, a nearby lightning strike took out the dial-up modem connecting reasor.com server to the internet.

In addition to the modem, the cable splitter inside my house was damaged, affecting both my tv and high-speed internet service, and had to be replaced. Equipment was also repaired on a the pole outside my house before my service was finally restored.

I just got out to the store today 12-Nov-2005, to replace the modem. Overall, reasor.com was unavailable for about 6 days.
