4 more days till Fedora 16

I am so excited about the new fedora

build. It is interesting to learn that it was supposed to be named Beefy Miracle but apparently they extended the voting period and it ended up being called Verne. Doesn't extending a vote period seem illegitimate?

Anyways, Fedora 17 got the Beefy Miracle name after all

Here is the history behind the name

uncutsaniflush writes at 09:42:40 11/05/11 - Comment #65974: I hope my wireless card works with Fedora 16. It seems the driver is broken in Debian with 3.0.x kernels. I had to go back to a 2.6 kernel in AV Linux (which is a media production distro based on Debian) I reckon I will find out in a few days.

tinypliny writes at 08:59:47 11/04/11 - Comment #65959: I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think my current low blood pressure is due to my forgetting that I am even running a linux distro. I have started preferring to work on Fedora 15 more than win xp and that is a huge step for me. It has started staying out of the way. I was just telling (e:paul), I am definitely not upgrading till he thinks there is a massive improvement in many ways. I will be waiting for his review. :)

The new R came out yesterday and so did RStudio. I prefer a clean install of both. I am hoping that by the end of this month I will be done with the majority of my analyses so along with the new R/RStudio, I could as well get the new F16 if again, (e:Paul) says its definitely better.

uncutsaniflush writes at 08:31:56 11/04/11 - Comment #65957: My advice to anyone, no matter what operating system, is the same. If ain't broke, don't fix it. Especially on a "production" box. Change for the sake of change isn't always happy.

Specifically, (e:tinypliny), if you got Fedora 15 working for you, why would you want to upgrade to Fedora 16? Is there anything that would give you a better computing experience with Fedora 16?

Of course, this is from someone who historically has pushed software to the breaking point much to the dismay of his wife. But, then again, for the last 5 years or so, (e:leetee) has a stable box that is upgraded only when necessary.

tinypliny writes at 05:25:47 11/04/11 - Comment #65933: I am going to wait till thanksgiving to switch... I have had not one incident of craziness for the past 3 weeks. I don't want it to implode just when things are going somewhat smoothly.

Dry Ice on Elmwood

There was this big chunk of dry ice in a puddle on elmwood. The water around it was so frozen. I wonder how it got lost.

Daddy Brite - Rainbow Brite's Dad

While shopping for my annual chistmas costume this year, I was amazed at just how much Christmas stuff was available. Target had like 3 isles worth and most of the Wegmans middle section, despite it not even being Halloween or Thanksgiving yet.

I was kind of excited with all the options but then along the way we stopped at amvets where I saw a rainbow cloud skirt for $1.99

I just couldn't say no to being Daddy Brite, Rainbow Brite's Father.

I think the costume worked out well and despite appearing revealing I was actuallly wearing more than most years as I had to wear briefs underneith.

There are a bunch more pics from the party on (e:metalpeter), 55402

tinypliny writes at 04:29:25 10/30/11 - Comment #65880: I think it might have been some kind of canopy maybe for cribs...

metalpeter writes at 09:32:09 10/30/11 - Comment #65870: Well somehow (e:Paul) does pull it off anyone else and it might come off as creepy but for some reason those out fits work for Paul.... Well maybe at a bar it might be weird but (Didn't get a picture) last night I did see a guy with what looked like white shorts with no shirt and what looked like leaves.... It was like a garden of Eden thing I think.....

Just had to ad the one day I was off a few weeks ago and Khole' Kardashian was on one of the morning shows taking over and I had to watch .... I saw why people say (e:lilho) looks like her.... They talk kinda the same but Khole has her body movements it was so weird......

lilho writes at 11:32:02 10/29/11 - Comment #65869: I'm probably way more slutty in reality. I'm not hating. Sorry boo.

paul writes at 11:23:35 10/29/11 - Comment #65867: Like you never wore a slutty outfit. Maybe I should unlock some of your crazy again, lol.

tinypliny writes at 10:50:11 10/29/11 - Comment #65866: I think they are trying the maxing out stage before they can take on fatherhood.

lilho writes at 09:36:43 10/29/11 - Comment #65862: You and your brother look like you come from the same land of crazy and slutty. What kind of father would you make? Looks like a fun party.

metalpeter writes at 07:08:21 10/29/11 - Comment #65861: Glad I'm not the only to post pics... The last picture is a perfect example of why it is tough to know how something will look... Yes it is very dark and in a thumb nail you would think you have nothing but you can see the pictures the cob webs and cool looking green light and on the right side of the photo she is in siloute you can see the elbow bend....

Deepavali celebration wed night

I headed over to UN South campus with (e:samathon1986), (e:enknot) and (e:terry) and my coworker Steve.

We arrived late so they were just about packing up by the time we got there. The sound of indian music made me so hungry. I guess its a conditioned response to it most often being associated with a buffet environment.

Unfortunately, all of the Indian places were closed. In fact just about every restaurant was closed. In the end we went to hardware where I had a great Malbec/SYrah and some delicious pork.

(e:terry) had to ditch out warcraft through for a Warcraft raid. The rest of us went to Roxys yo watch Sammeer and Tony sing kerioke.

Connecticut Street Sandwich Shop

Today we went to the Connecticut Street Sandwich Shop for lunch. It was amazing and very priceworthy. I got a hamburger with cheese, mushrooms and Bacon and a salad with an egg. I will definately go back. They take every kind of card via an iPhone and it emails you the receipt.

Coppa Charcuterie

We toured the new food market that will be opening in in the old horsefeathers location.

I was excited to see a stand for Coppa. I find thin slices of salted meat so delicious but I don't eat much of them because I generally avoid nitrates. Its one of the reasons I love procuitto because its just cured with salt.
