Accursed beepitude.
John, I’ve been silencing that beep in a less drastic way — I edit the file /etc/inputrc and uncomment the line for setting the bell style to none. I’m not sure if that quiets things down for every use case though.
Fedora video bonanza.
The great thing about the Fedora community is that when there’s work to be done, people roll up their sleeves and pitch in. That’s exactly what happened at our most recent Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) in Boston a couple weeks ago, where volunteers banded together to provide audio …

Did I break your concentration?

Wishing I were more of a foodie.
