At least its not a jackfruit tree

This unnamed fruit (e:paul,52770) got me thinking about exotic fruits.

Even though having so many pears is a pain sometimes, it beats having a jackfruit tree in the backyard, although I would like to try jackfruit I don't think I could deal with such giant fruits. Definately sounds dangerous to shake them down.

Ktouch

I feel like such a loser that after about 20 years of typing constantly I still never use my pinky fingers. I decided to do something about it and learn to type properly once and for all. I installed ktouch, which is a Linux KDE touch typing tutorial application.

image

Unfortunately my package manager bundled it with a whole bunch of other children's crap.

On the other hand I have logo again. I always loved that turtle.

Delicious Dinner at Seabar

We went out to dinner with (e:Jim) to see him before he takes off for Portland. I am totally jealous. If my family wasn't here I would leave in a heartbeat. I really want to stick it out here but it really seems like every smart person I know leaves.

It doesn't help that I hate my job so thoroughly right now. I am totally bored working with so many people who don't even seem remotely interested in what they do other than that it brings them a paycheck.

I yearn to have a technical conversation with people that can understand and are interested in the details of the technology they are using. I never thought I would say this, but I want the next place I work to also be union free. That and I want to be the boss ;)

Pyroom

Hey (e: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

While there may be alternatives, you do not need on. I have pdf xchange viewer running on linux natively using wine.

image

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
