Damn Skippy at the Auto Bureau
Yesterday, the Lovely Lettuce ((e:leetee)) and I went to the Erie Auto Bureau on George Urban. And believe it or not, it was a damn skippy time!!
We were in and out of there in under 20 minutes.
It was very organised. The "maze" that made me feel like I was a cow being led to the slaughter was gone.
People were issued numbers and could sit until their numbers were called. My number was called before I could sit down.
The clerks were pleasant, professional and efficient. It was a huge contrast to the horrific nightmare that was the DMV in lower Manhattan in the 1980s. (At the time, there were people would hire themselves out to wait in line for you and call/page you when it was almost your turn. It was worse than it sounds. 'nuff said.)
Good work, Kathy Hochul. I hear that she's running for something and I don't want anyone to think that this is some sort of political endorsement. For all I know, I may hate her politics but she made my time at the Auto Bureau damn skippy.

The Doctor Says No
"But you have no weapons, no defenses, no plan!"
"Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death?"
'nuff said.

Fedora 14 First Impressions
In terms of hardware, everything just works. But I expected that.
The default install creates a persistent home partition in a LVM partition scheme (that includes /boot). The installer did not recognise the Ubuntu partition. I had the option to edit the grub config that anaconda came up with but I decided not to. I reckoned I could always fart around with it later.
Ubuntu uses grub2 and Fedora still uses grub so adding Ubuntu to Fedora's boot menu wasn't as obvious as it could have been. I actually had to read some grub2 documentation. Egads!
The Fedora 14 splash and wallpaper image sucks. I think I vaguely remember (e:paul) complaining about it at some point. It's not a big deal because it is easy to change.
So far, so good. I'm planning installing planet ccrma which is the Fedora equivalent of Ubuntu Studio when time and tide let me.
I already like it better than Ubuntu 10.10

"Ouaf, Ouaf" ("Woof, Woof")
I thought about translating this from French but I don't want to piss off the the Quebecois. I know, I'm weird like that. Any old way, I like this song but I suspect that understanding French might be helpful..

W Sam Raz (The Right One)
Although he is Polish, he grew up in Denmark.
The song begins: "I dream to myself that we are in Seventh Heaven . . ,"
The chorus is
"They tell me to that your heart just wants to laugh
They tell me that that you want more,
what and why, that's what you get for you is the right one. "
