Mayor abducted by aliens...

Multiple eyewitness accounts confirm that the beam-me-up-scotty-mobile was spotted hovering menacingly over his office just after nightfall.

The hostile mothership was last seen speeding over the Erie lake towards the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

Cue "The X-Files" tune!

I am having way too much fun with this blimp.

The truth is OUT THERE!

It's some vodka called Hangar One

and it's on a multi-city tour. Today was its Buffalo day. Seems like you will get a chance to see it eerily floating over Erie tomorrow as well as Sunday.

UFO over city hall!!

Probably the shot that will make the alternative freaky tabloids alongside how the dingo ate the baby.

They lighted the blimp.

I am fascinated.

Netinstall debian with XFCE

With my continuing troubles and hiccups with Gnome 3 on Fedora 15, I am sorely tempted to migrate to this:

(From omnsproject blog:

)

Clean and minimalist netinstall Debian with XFCE 4.8 featuring transparencies that work, highly non-technical customizable menus that can be shifted easily to the right side and most importantly, no unexplained freeze-ups and cursor changes right in the middle of a coding session which force me to reboot either RStudio or the system altogether. *sigh*

Round and Round

...went this vodka blimp all day long.

Though I am guessing downtown Buffalo does pretty well on its own without this reminder on a Friday evening.

Keithsayer. Take 2.

I have to admit, these are my favourite pics from last week (e:tinypliny,54816) Unfortunately, they got cropped in the earlier post. So I extracted them from the phone SD card. They are so awesome, they needed to be out here at higher resolution!

Seriously, what is with that conspiracy-theory look? I dug this pic up to see if you really had a big nose as you claimed.

You don't. Most people in that sample frame have as big or even bigger noses than you do.

Well... except for that girl who is sitting on the grass. She really does have a rather compact nose.

My pretty Linux box

This is what I see 50% of the time I start Skype with Fedora 15. :/ I have no option but to do an ungraceful hard reboot.

How do I get rid of the titlebar in Gnome 3?

When the title of the program is on the never-disappearing top panel and the title bar just has an [X] on it (that I seldom use), why do I even need a title bar? I have keyboard shortcuts for everything, there is no point in having a title bar anymore.

So the question is how do I get rid of all titlebars in Gnome 3? I want everything to be like Chrome - lean, minimal, without a title bar and only displaying content.
