Fedora 13 function keys and 3g usb

Well the best part was the verizon dongle. I plugged it in, it detected it and asked me which network I use, I chose verizon, hit apply and it was good to go. I didn't even enter in my credentials which seems kind of crazy but they might be stored on the dongle itself.

The one thing I had a hard time figuring out was how to set the function keys to be function keys and not media keys by default. I did not want to have to hit the fn key to get F1-F16.

Just sudo edit the /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

1 = media mode default
2 = function key default

Fedora 13

It seems pretty awesome so far. I can't believe much more I can do now with my much deeper understanding of the system. I was able to repartition my disk, edit my grub menu and combine a few boot partitions into one and encrypt the whole thing so that I could load fedora 12 and 13 as I transition my stuff over. If only my stupid macbook pro didn't have a fault CD drive I could have done this sooner.

Between that an getting to the bottom of a long term memory issue on a server at work, I had a pretty good night. That and (e:terry) painted the pillars on the dormer so that tomorrow I just have to sand, re-putty and paint the actual windows.

zoar valley

Had a fun day at zoar valley with (e:terry). I kind of felt bad not finishing the dormer but sometimes I need to do something besides work or housework. At the bottom of this journal, there is a picture of me in a creek where you can see my butt, just stop scrolling now if it will be an issue.

The dormer leering at me.

Windows viruses

Somehow I was redirected to microsoft.msn.com.medate.info in the search results for Peter Paige on google. I was looking him up after seeing him on the flyer for illusions opening tonight (e:libertad,51634)

Obviously this is all fake as I am on a linux machine but I can see how an inexperienced computer user would freak out and think this is real. It looked totally convincing and was completely animated. Once you install it with .exe I am sure you are totally screwed.

Wifi tethering froyo update

As if the file upload in the browser and flash was not enough (e:paul,51709) , froyo also provides wifi and USB tethering with one easy press. This is one of the reasons I wanted the google phone from google and not from a carrier. I wonder how the carriers will react to this when rolling out froyo to their own phones.
