Change the default app to open text files with in fedora 17

Since I installed monodevelop for a work project I was working on a few months back I have been stuck with this situation in which all text documents would start monodevelop as the default app when I clicked on them.

Each time it would happen, I figured I should look into how I set the default app for the various mime types and then I would put it off. Today I had a spare 5 minutes so I just grepped for monodevelop in my home directory figuring the settings had to be there as they weren't for every other user account. Turns out the settings are in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Each mime type is mapped to a .desktop file that describes what to do when the file is opened.

I switched text/plain=monodevelop.desktop to text/plain=gedit.desktop and I was good to go.

Last day at Nonnas

At least I hope so. Its finally up for sale and the realtor seems to think it will go quick. I am ready to close that part of my life. The lawn got so long that snakes started growing in it. There were two of them. I thought the first one was tiny but then (e:terry) found the tiniest baby one.

Its so crazy because for years the grass would never grow because it was mowed too much and became a muddy weedy mess. Now its thick and when it was cut it actually looked good.

Outer Harbor - Dug's Dive now open year round.

As (e:terry,56828) mentioned we hit up the outer harbor yesterday during the brief beautiful weather period. I had never been out to the lighthouse before. Reading all of the historical pkacard s was interesting. Seems like the area had a very crazy past as the water tore through just about everything they built to protect the city from water.

It was cool to see Dug's dive is now open year round.

marrying a 14 year old

I guess its legal in NYS. I was looking for marriage laws here and found this page

Its so weird that getting married requires a $40 license which is only good for days.

Orchid Restaurant Kenmore

On the way back from the outlet mall, (e:mike), (e:libertad) and I had dinner at Orchid in Kenmore. The food was amazing, I would highly suggest a visit to anyone who like Japanese and Thai food. Our waitress was also super friendly and attentive.

Army Navy Surplus - Air Tent

We headed out to the army navy surplus stores today. At the one off exchange street by the lark in district they had those air tents I always wanted. I still don't know how you get in it though unless you somehow hoist it up from inside.

Star Trek - Off Duty Officer Uniform

This has to be the lamest costume I have ever seen. Was there even an off duty officer costume in star trek itself. To top it off the frickin thing is $50.

Garden Harvest

The garden is still producing stuff. I love Swiss chard so much and now its pretty much gone wild. If you let the plants grow they produce thousands of seeds.

Same thing with my favorite kind of lettuce. I wish I knew what it was called but I have so many seeds for next year.
