What are these fruits?

· · 🌡️ 54°F

I found them growing on a tree near searbar. At first I was so excited because I thought they were leachee fruits but they are not.

Pyroom

· · 🌡️ 60°F

Hey @tinypliny #52765 I found a Q10 replacement that is available in fedora. Its called pyroom and I have a feeling they had Q10 in mind when designing or that they both have a common parent. Its so funny all of these systems look like the terminal prompt I spend most of the day in. This is native and much better as it does not jerk you out when you save. Sorry no typewriter noise but I bet that could be added if needed.

From the command like type sudo yum install pyroom at the terminal or just open up the package manager and search for pyroom to install. It puts an icon in the office folder under applications. ctrl+p for preference settings.

PDF-XChange Viewer on fedora 13

· · 🌡️ 51°F

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, @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.

And I am going there for dinner tomorrow. @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.

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

Little Rock City

· · 🌡️ 62°F

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 @jacob could have been there. He would have loved it.

@terry is insane. I will try and climb just about an

@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.

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.
