Camper van Leech.
If you’re a Fedoran who does Python, I invite you to camp on #fedora-python… mostly because I intend to sponge off you while I learn.
WordPress and FC5.
After moving my WP to my rejuvenated and software-RAIDed web server, I ran into what is apparently — owing to the googlejuice — a fairly common problem. WordPress would simply not connect to the MySQL database I have on a separate machine inside my firewall. I checked all the configuration …
Sure, just keep Cruise on your side of the pond.
I hate the Fourth of July. Wait, let me explain. I don’t hate Independence, or the idea of celebrating the birth of our nation. I don’t hate flags, or Uncle Sam hats, or family picnics, or parades with or without marching bands. I especially don’t hate the nice frisson of …
Quick fix.
Aside to Konstantin, et al., regarding problems with VMWare and the newest 2.6.17 kernels: Just pick up the vmware-any-any update (101) available here, apply, and enjoy.
Late night musings.
Kimchi. I’ve developed an almost heroin-sized monkey on my back for Korea’s official food, which, as it turns out, is not only very healthy, but also comes with its own supercute logo. I have a big jar of the most popular baechu variety in my refrigerator, much to my wife’s …
Not quite da Vinci level, thankfully.
The prize, a ginyoowine glass boot (actual height ~6.5?, and freshly sanitized, since I’m not sure how they were packed on their way to Nashville) goes to Dave Malcolm for getting the correct message posted first. Wow, the most non-spam comments ever for a blog entry! (Sad, I know.) Honorary …
The codebreakers.
In answer to Dave’s “stop the madness” comment — agreed. To wit: If y1u a1e t1e f3t p4n w1o c1n g3s t2s e4e m5e c7y, a1d p2t t1e a4r as a c5t in my b2g, I w2l s2d y1u a g3s b2t f2m t1e S4t.
On the newsstand.
Once again you can find examples of my half-baked authorial hackery in the Red Hat Magazine. I reported on the goings on at the Red Hat Summit in Nashville, mostly from a Fedora perspective. Hope you enjoy it! I’m leaving this off the FedoraPeople feed since, y’know, ego isn’t everything.
It just got a little easier out here for a pimp.
Especially if said pimp’s modus operandi includes copious amounts of taffy. Yes, I got my permanent crown put in today, and boy is it shiny!. Thankfully it’s a back molar, so it won’t show much, but I’m using my new mouth bling as an excuse to smack Eleya on the …
When is a blog not a blog?
For instance, when it doesn’t allow feedback as advertised, I suppose. Sorry about the errors many of you have been experiencing while trying to leave me comments and such. I believe my server at home has experienced a cardiac arrest (a/k/a disk crash). A fellow Fedora guy confirmed my suspicion …
