Today is the Boston FUDCon and I am super-stoked about it. Last night after LinuxWorld ended most of us Fedorans went to the Boston Beer Works right next to historic Fenway Park for dinner; I had (among other things) fried pickles. Despite the vegetable in the name, not a health …
I figured, since I just got home from dinner and had a little time on my hands before I try to get some Docs work done, that I would post some abbreviated minutes from the BoF session earlier this evening for those of you who missed it. (“I wouldn’t say …
Arrived in Boston safe and sound; actually it was a very nice flight from the folks I usually call “USScare.” Now I’m heading over to the BCEC to pick up my materials, possibly make dinner plans, and head over to Jack Aboutboul’s Fedora BoF. I have no idea when Karsten’s …
When Evie and Ethan were born we entered into the several-week period known as the Zone of No Sleep — for Mommy, since she was breast-feeding. After that, we too had to teach our children to sleep on their own. Parenthetical to counter the inevitable cries of “Where were you, …

Part of the time I’ve been goofing around, but the system is back up and working nominally at this point, so I’m calling it done. There’s always little things to deal with as they come up, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Eleya’s PDA is even syncing again properly! I …
Well, the weblog is back up, so obviously things are going OK so far. MySQL 5.0 has had no hitches; I ran the recommended update commands as shown in the MySQL documentation, and all the messages looked nominal. I’m restoring user home directories right now.
Today I am upgrading our workstation downstairs to Fedora Core 5, and things are going swimmingly so far. I am (finally) migrating that system to use LVM, since I foresee buying some new storage for it sooner or later. Of course I took backups of everything first, but it’s always …
I just got a hold of a link to a cool blog full of OpenOffice.org tips. Since I use Linux for all my everyday computing needs, this site might really come in handy! Coming soon to a blogroll near… uh, me.
