Fedora 13: Rock It!
===========================================Benjamin Franklin
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.Henry David Thoreau
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

From the Changelog
I previously documented my first, and thus far only, patch I submitted to Fedora. It was trivial; I’m not up for any awards or anything. But it was a good feeling, and I hope I can contribute some more substantive … Continue reading
When an Upgrade alone does not Suffice
Well, then, you change themes, put up a new header, delete plugins that you’ve forgotten what-the-heck they do, rearrange widgets, and just have a blog gardening afternoon. The theme is the (now) default WordPress Theme, twentyten. Header graphics credit, as … Continue reading
I Have Nothing to Say, Therefore I Upgrade
Happy New Year, y’all. Today was my first day back at $DAYJOB, and I’d frankly be hard pressed to say that we haven’t been stuck with a used year. This could be the year that I define a new $DAYJOB … Continue reading
I’ve inherited my Mom’s intolerance of clocks that aren’t right. I just now noticed that the timestamp on my last three posts is wrong; it’s the EDT, not EST, time. So, I made a little adjustment to the time-stamping, after … Continue reading

I spent part of Snow Day today upgrading this old blog to WordPress 2.9. I’ve never been able to get the automatic WP upgrade to work; it seems to download the upgrade, it says “Done” in the dashboard status bar, … Continue reading
A Patch in Time

Back from a post Constantine upgrade reboot. Network Manager applet problems … gone! Sound playing problems persist; I could head to some Fedora Forum and bitch up a storm to the effect that “#@%!@ sound don’t work!”, but since I … Continue reading
Upgrade x2, 2 Days Late
Last Tuesday, Constantine, the Fedora 12 Beta, was released. I make it a point to upgrade sooner rather than later. And, thanks to Fedora’s preupgrade, followed by 1.1G of downloads, and what seemed to be interminable disk-thrashing, the upgrade finished, … Continue reading
At Marco’s Booth
One of the attractions at Red Hat Summit was Marco’s Booth, a place to interact with the people from Red Hat’s Global Support Services. It is called Marco’s Booth after Marco Bill-Peter, the head of GSS at Red Hat. I … Continue reading
One Photo, Multiple Uses
I sent this photo to Dave several years back, as part of my initiation into the EGC Style Council. The pic was taken by MLB, while she and I were en route to Martinsville for a NASCAR race. We always … Continue reading
