On Tuesday night before going to bed, I started to thaw my Dell XPS M1330 laptop from hibernation, and hard powered it off to abort. Perhaps an ill-advised move, I agree. (The beatings have finally ceased.) The Dell BIOS (I assume) “helpfully” took this opportunity to survey my disk and …
Max posted to fedora-devel-announce that we might swap days on the FUDCon schedule, splitting the hackfest days — Friday and Sunday — with the BarCamp day on Saturday. This potentially could turn out to be a great routine arrangement for FUDCon. since now the Saturday sessions can benefit from being …
The FDSCo elections are now open! Voting continues for the three open seats until — if memory serves — 23:59 UTC, December 24th. Our nominees are a great group, so no matter the results, the holidays will be a cheerful time for the Docs project. The FAmSCo elections should commence …

And now, I am officially two-thirds of the way to a family power trio:
Last night my wife noted — not ruefully, I was grateful to observe — that I’ve been working on Fedora for quite a while now. (“I wouldn’t exactly say I’ve been working, Bob.”) Sure enough, she was right. I found this old rag from a little over four years ago. …
Holiday cheer. Happy Thanksgiving day to you and yours if you’re celebrating this US holiday. I just put our turkey in the oven after its leisurely and customary morning soak in brine. Eleya made a beautiful batch of casseroles, side dishes, and pies. Evie is going to help her make …
