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.

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.

tinypliny writes at 11:26:26 12/23/10 - Comment #59905: YES!!!!! Martin Luther Weekend ---> The weekend I get my food grade camera!!!!!!!!!

tinypliny writes at 10:58:55 12/17/10 - Comment #59823: Nexus S is a more picturesque take on Nexus one but apparently nothing big is new - except that I will owe my hand-me-down to its release. ;-)

paul writes at 02:02:35 12/17/10 - Comment #59805: That's so exciting. I love the nexus one. It is such a nice device. You need a data plan.

tinypliny writes at 10:51:52 12/16/10 - Comment #59803: He doesn't hate me apparently... which is good news. I suspect (e:paul) had something to do with it. :)

BTW, I REALLLY love that shot of the noodles. Every time I look at it, I want to walk towards that restaurant. Thankfully, I am lazy person and don't make it out of my front door.

AND I am getting the hand-me-down nexus soon - the only thing I can think of is... FOOD GRADE CAMERA!

Guessing it is still Open
Guessing that when you look at it, it looks small and it is hard to tell if it is open it never looks open so maybe that is why so few people?

tinypliny writes at 12:57:38 12/16/10 - Comment #59793: Its between Cleveland and Auburn and its closed now. :/

tinypliny writes at 08:02:17 12/15/10 - Comment #59777: Can you please ask him next time? Thanks.

tinypliny writes at 07:49:38 12/15/10 - Comment #59776: And do you know if (e:enknot) hates me now?!

tinypliny writes at 07:48:53 12/15/10 - Comment #59775: veggie lo mein? I totally need that. Where is this place? Cross street, please. I want to go there after work today.

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.

tinypliny writes at 12:51:49 12/16/10 - Comment #59792: My brother has has innumerable macs (by now, I have lost count..) and in one of our crazy we-are-so-bored moments we calculated how many of his macs had a failed harddrive or optical drive. Guess what the % was. Take a wild guess...

..
..

86%. I am not even kidding. I can't believe people still keep on trusting macs. I don't want to be this nasty windoze freak but sometimes macsters are ridiculous in their fan worship..

PS: This does not mean I am calling you a fangirl (e:Oda). :-) Please do post a link to your website/CSA. I hope you have a distribution hub in the city so I can buy your produce!!! I am really excited for you. I actually remember my first year with my new computer back in the day. There was no one to take me through anything because my brother was away and my parents were just not interested. It was just awesome to be able to learn and do everything on my own. :)

paul writes at 11:29:03 12/15/10 - Comment #59790: Wow that is awesome oda. I never thought I would see a time when you were excited about a computer!

The situation with (e:Terry)'s imac got so ridiculous. He brought it to the apple store and the drive happend to load. They blamed the problem on a VPN client from when he was at UB. That was such bullshit. As soon as he brought it home and turned it on, the drive started clicking and stuff and finally died.

oda writes at 10:34:11 12/15/10 - Comment #59788: paul, i got a mac for a present this year.

you will be proud to know that i am actually learning how to use a computer. i have found the mac to incredible for someone like me, at a low computer-level knowledge, to be able to answer my own computer questions. this thing is so self-explanitory.

also, i am taking these one-to-one classes at the mac store in the galleria mall. soon, i will make the website for our farm/CSA.

it is exciting to start to explore this computer world.

uncutsaniflush writes at 06:14:30 12/15/10 - Comment #59766: I love how your spell-check or auto-complete turned "imac" into "inaccurate" The Apple Inaccurate it's not just a slogan, it's a way of life.

tinypliny writes at 05:44:36 12/15/10 - Comment #59754: Why do you hate Macs for fake then?

heidi writes at 02:03:24 12/15/10 - Comment #59748: Oh no!!!! Poor (e:terry) can't game :-(

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.
