Christmas EveCategory: holidays
Santa came to my uncle's house on Christmas Eve. We all took a turn sitting on his lap. He told me he had some beef to fatten me up for me because I was so light, lol.
The kids were so excited about the whole process.

Barnes And Nobles ContinuedCategory: shopping
The other day I wrote about my bad experience having to wait 60 minutes for an online ebook to be delivered from barnes and nobles web site. I thought the point of buying eBooks online was that it was instant.
Today's experience was even worse. I wanted to get my brother an egift card but I didn't order it earlier because I didn't want it sent to his email until it was time for him to open gifts today.
So just before we opened gifts I ordered his egift online gift card on their site. It said they had instant delivery. It basically just sends an a link to the recipients email so that makes sense but right now it says it will not ship until Dec 30th. Although, it is instant delivery once it ships. That makes no freakin sense. How can it need to wait that long. I purchased it with a credit card I had on file so it really makes no sense.

I have no Idea what they are and don't know what makes some of them an Irish Car Bomb ((e:ladycroft) could tell you)..... But what I do know is that if she drinks them they are way to strong for me to take.... As Long as you had fun at the time that is what matters.......

That was the worst hangover I ever had. I would not suggest drinking more than one carbomb ever.

Take (e:paul) If his Facial Hair is right he could do the Handle Bar Mustache and you could go as the Person Filming him or maybe a kid actor HA! No Work Christmas Parties where I work or at least not in our Part of the company and I"m Happy About it I guess but something at Pearl St. Or Ulrich's sounds great......

btw, do you ever go to the BIG employee party at Hyatt's? I am thinking of going this year... The problem now is how exactly to acquire a desirable date in such a short time and would I want to dress up as a 20s-30s moviestar....

We had ours 2 weeks back at Pearl St. Brewery. I was dancing 3/4ths of the time. I guess most of the other people on the dance floor were completely smashed - in fact, I think that's why they were dancing. By default, people now think I was the most sloshed of all... I did drink about a gallon of tea though...

Nook for PC on Fedora 14 LinuxCategory: computers
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.

Plain old Fedora 14 desktop edition. I don't even bother with the dvd anymote. Just install from the live CD and you can get whatever you need from the package manger.

I keep meaning to ask you what edition of Fedora you are using. I assume the developers edition?

Terry On Santa's Lap..... I don't know what to say..... Maybe someone should crop out the kids and part of the wall and this should be the new user picture I mean Avatar or be used around Christmas time Next Year!
