PDF-XChange Viewer on fedora 13

While there may be alternatives, you do not need on. I have pdf xchange viewer

running on linux natively using wine.

Install wine using fedora package manager (System->Administration->add remove software).

Search wine and install (A Windows 16/32/64 bit emulator) if it is not already installed.

Then download the installer for PDF Xchange and run the installer like normal. Because i don't normally run this software, I can't tell you how good it works. Its seems to be stable to me though. Hopefully, (e:tinypliny,52765) can give you more info.

It should make a shortcut on the desktop. You can drag that to the panel at the top of the screen if you prefer.

Seabar lunch 2

And I am going there for dinner tomorrow. (e:jon) got the new loco moco which is a hamburger on fried rice with an egg on top and gravy. I think I want to try that next time.

I had the lunch special #2 - nigiri plate with sesame noodles and miso

Mint Linux Test

Drag drop worked for me in Mint linux Firefox 3.6.3. Seems like Mint uses KDE.

Seabar Lunch

The lunches at seabar downtown Buffalo keep getting better. There lunch menu expanded like the dinner menu did. (e:samathon86) and I ended up on the new clubby looking side this time. The ambiance was pretty chic for lunch.

Mistaken Identity

I have a feeling non-mormons might mistake me for one today with my tie and backpack.

Little Rock City

We went back to little rock city. This time we got totally crazy and were jumping between rocks with 20ft+ drops. At one point we were able to jump between 3 rocks. I wish (e:jacob) could have been there. He would have loved it.

(e:terry) is insane. I will try and climb just about an

Below is a major dropoff like 40+ feet down

Sadly, this time we found a clean cut area

(e:keith) jumping to the second rock. I am so sad that this video is sideways. Someday I should edit and rotate it. I tried to compile ffmpeg to enable the vfilter rotation option but it did not work.

trying to convince Casey to jump.

(e:keithT) posing as a tough guy

I tracked our whole journey on google's My Tracks. I wanted to be able to return to the part I was too afraid to jump on.

The rest are caseys photos from (e:keithT)'s facebook.

Real Iron Work on 219 Near Springville

I am not sure what the name really is but I thought "Real Iron Work" based on the sign below. I should have snagged the location but I forgot.

On our way back to Little Rock City yesterday we stopped at that iron works gallery on the 219. They have some pretty awesome pieces. I wonder if the Griffis inspired them, or if they are the same people.

I want the tree house so bad. I always wanted a tree house but our yard has no tree house sized tree. I never considered building one.

I guess they like turles and tortoises too.

My love/hate of scenic boys blog

Caution with the link, it contains some non-sexual nudity but also a ton of awesome hiking pics and videos from the west coast more non-nude than nude.

Every once in a while I go back to

and check out their latest adventures. They seem to always put mine to shame. Recently, they got back from Burning Man. I am entirely jealous. They remind me of the (e:Terry) and I from our pre-buffalo days but somehow they got a bunch of friends to join them on their adventures. Living on the west coast gives them such a tremendous advantage with adventure options.

That pic is from their adventure in may

Blind worship of Apple

PC mag has this article showing the new update to the iphone seems to slow it down more

(e:matthew)'s iphone 3g has major speed issues since he first upgraded to iOS 4 so I was curious about the results of the latest update. Regardless of the test results being accurate or not, its comments like this that make me question the sanity of apple fanatics.

I've had my 2g since 1.0 and it gets slower with each update. Just yesterday I was telling my wife it took like 60 seconds to check a received text message.

With that said the iphone is by far still the best game in town.

Really joe? You think a phone that takes 60 seconds to check a text message ( a key phone function) is the best game in town. Sounds like you haven't shopped around very much.
