Nook for PC on Fedora 14 Linux

At our work holiday party we got $10 gift certificates for Barnes and Nobles. I have really been wanting the "grep pocket reference" and I felt bad downloading it illegally so I figured this was the opportunity to purchase it.

They had it in nook format but I don't have a nook. Luckily, they have a bunch of other nook clients I have an android nexus one and a desktop computer which can be used to read nook ebooks. iPad and iPhone can be used too. I was sad to see that barnes and nobles only had a client for Mac and PC. Turns out the PC one ran perfect on wine on Fedora 14. No fuss, no finagling, simply download the exe file, install and run. Now I have the Grep Pocket Reference on both my phone and laptop.

The only thing that I did not like was that there was a 60 minute delivery time. It seems like if you are buying an ebook it should come immediately.

image

In the apps for my phone and computer, it just gave a generic error during those 60 minutes.

Hos and ribbons

I miss them all. I had so much fun playing with Zoey last week. If only (e:lilho) could have been there too. It was impossible to tire Zoey out. We must have run up and down the staircase 110 times. She was also fearless. (e:hodown) and I chased her around as she walked even into completely dark rooms upstairs at the 24. (E:mike) commented that he wouldn't even do that at age 27.

Red Lobster on Transit

Before the movies we went to red lobster. The food was delicious but then I was sick all freaking night long and into today. I wonder if I got food poisoned?

Tron in 3d imax

I went to go see tron at imax last night with (e:hoedown). She almost got in a fight with some other girl over seats. I tried to take a pic of me with the glasses and this is what came out. Sitting in the front row sucks.

Blue Fin On Elmwood on the Strip

The food there is freaking amazing. I am not sure why its not more busy when I go in because it's some of the best Asian food around and the prices are great. This mango chicken that (e:enknot) got was so good. I also had delicious veggie lo mein with a side of mackerel sashini that was presented very nicely.

If you haven't been there you need to check it out.

Why I Hate Macs for Real

After a 12 hour workday I came home to Terry's broken inaccurate with flashing system folder. When booting off an external mac in target disk mode the drive still doesn't show up even in diskutil, fdisk or parted.

Then to get the drive out and replace it requires special suction cups and crap. Just check out this how to

Look you need a suction cup for one of the steps. Seriously.

He is going to try and take it to the apple store and see how much it costs to fix out of warranty.

Toys in a cage?

Last year the the toys were just on the dock. But this year they're locked behind the cage. I wonder if that means people were stealing.

Google Voice

Buffalo Medical Group is calling to confirm with Paul that you have an appointment with Dr. Herman my dog bro.



I'm guessing he doesn't really go by that.

Our wreath

Our wreath never got assembled. Its in pieces on the porch.

Whenever we buy a tree they ask to trim it. That pile of trimmings becomes wreathes they then sell for like $20-$30 each. Seems like a rip off when they are already charging you like $60-$70 for the tree.
