Installed Fedora 11 on my netbook

I finally got a chance to put Fedora 11 on my Aspire One netbook. I had hoped to show it off at our Installfest a couple Saturdays ago, but alas, the Fedora release schedule slipped a couple weeks, and it wasn't available until long after the Installfest.

During the post-installation, after I added the rpmfusion repos, I ran across Logjam again, and I recalled creating a Livejournal account long ago. Looks like another year has come and gone.

This coming Wednesday we're celebrating the 15th anniversary of BLU, the Boston Linux & Unix user group. It's been 12 years since The Boston Computer Society dissolved. I miss the days we used to spend at the BCS Resource Center. It was kind of like a continuation of college life. But all things eventually come to an end, alas.

But enough fun for one day. I still have unfinished chores to take care of before going to sleep.

LogJam client looks decent

Trying out another gtk client, looks nice so far.

Just ran across some old Bob Newhart clips on youtube. Mostly standup routines with Dean Martin, from back before I was born.

Newhart season 1 is *finally* coming out on DVD, in a couple weeks! I’ve been waiting years for this to be released.

Flavor of the Month

Is there anything tastier than chocolate chip scones and lapsang-souchon tea?

Holidays are coming up soon

Gotta get the house tidied up, some old friends are flying back to Boston for the holidays.

Looks like it’s been about a year since I created this account, and I haven’t posted anything since creating it. C’est la vie.

Can’t spend a lot of time on this, as it’s time to get ready for work.

A New Beginning

Trying out blog client called "drivel"; looks like a decent client.

Blogging tools: Drivel

Heh. Drivel seems to be a decent client for creating blog entries. Not so great with Blogger, though; it won't let me set a section title.

Fedora Core 6

It's about time I upgrade to Fedora Core 6. The VMware issue was resolved long ago; I had to download some sort of patch, something-all-all.tgz; don't recall the details.

Testing Beta with Gmail Login

Unfortunately, Drivel won't let me enter an "@", which I think I need to make this work.

Wotta Revoltin' Development!

What the heck is the problem? I upgrade to Fedora Core 5, and all of a sudden VMWare won't install; it keeps claiming that the kernel sources don't match the installed kernel. So now I can't run VMWare at home, and I don't dare upgrade my machine at work.

Ah well. I suppose life would get boring without the occasional challenge.
