Welcome to PlanetKass.net, the home of Kassidy M Kearey, also known in some circles as "kassidynet", and often seen brandishing a camera, guitar, fountain pen, black trenchcoat and hat (but not all, necessarily, at the same time).

He's also a tad bonkers.

Here you'll find, when he gets round to publishing any content, the occasional musing, photograph, or musical endeavour, coupled in with various other bits and bobs as time goes by. Feedback is always welcome, as is the occasional pint of Guinness, so feel free to drop him a line:

KDE - No Banshee in Notification Tray

in

This hardly warrants an entry, but it's a simple one to fix that was irritating me for a long time.

Go to Edit, Preferences, Extensions, Utilities, and add a tick in Notification Area Icon (which will remove the tick from Sound Menu Integration).

Getting Wireless working after 11.10 Kubuntu upgrade

in

Perhaps one of the better uses of this blog would be to make myself mental notes for the future when it comes to fixing problems, since whenever I stumbled upon them 6 months down the line I've completely forgotten what I did the first time round to fix them, and have to spend another couple of hours doing so.

Married at McDonalds???

So apparently you can now get married at McDonalds. Just when I thought I had seen everything, this comes along and blows my world-view sky-high once more. What I'm curious about is whether they offer you a choice of service, and if you choose the Christian service whether they'll offer you an Order of Friars on the side.

And they'll live Happy Meal ever after. ...click to continue...

BBC News and the Misleading Headlines

in

Actually this should probably be titled "BBC News and the Blatant Shameless Lies", and would probably make for a better paperback release.

I recently commented that BBC News was my former resource as far as news of the world was concerned, and that still remains mostly true. However, there are times when giving Silvia breakfast that I stumble on to the horribly laid out web portal that is BBC News and see if things have improved. Sadly, no they haven't. ...click to continue...

Elaborate set-up

in

Halloween having past, and with no knocks at the door for "trick or treat", we found ourselves with a rather considerable amount of candy leftover, consisting of chocolate eclairs, Werther's Original, and fruit sherbets. My wife happened to be sitting on the sofa while I was standing next to the bowl of candy, and asked me to toss a Werther's over to her, which I did. I followed this up by throwing a total of 5 at her, for a laugh, the surplus of which she tried to throw back at me, with rather sub-par aim. "I'm terrible," she said, "I can't hit you with them." ...click to continue...
