Dear Fedora 14Category: linux
I love you. I feel like I don't tell you this enough. This morning I tried to install ubuntu on a secondary drive and it was a nightmare to get stuff working. Then I just popped in you live CD and overwrote everything with a working OS in like 5 minutes. It was fantastic.

Heh - true, and good catch. I will probably end up ditching lubuntu as well... System76 has told me that changing OSes does not affect their warranty (just makes it tougher for them to replicate problems if I have any).

(e:tinypling), that was ubuntu and I was your tech support. The brightness just worked on Fedora, right?

I created some free space on my Zareason box. I was thinking of trying out some other distro this evening since I actually have some free time. And I was seriously considering Fedora. And along comes your post. I'm d/ling Fedora 14 right now.

If you hadn't walked me through the brightness change steps, it would have taken me a few hours to work up the courage and finally do it but I think I would have got there eventually in a few hours. ;)

I guess I don't really that much support. I am usually okay at figuring out things on my own... Maybe I shouldn't be listening to my bro. :/ (Quick, bury this comment before he sees it...)

I seriously never have any trouble with Fedora. Anything I ever wrote about was because I was doing crazy things that a normal user would not be doing. How much OS support do you really need?

Hehehe - you know I agree. Ubuntu is a nightmare sometimes. I am trying out Lubuntu but sometimes it throws spanners into the works as well. The only thing is I can't get support if I install Fedora and run R on top of it - as opposed to Ubuntu which key support people (eg. more techy family members) have and can troubleshoot for me if I have troubles.

Family bowlCategory: food
Its the name I gave my new favorite egg and chicken bowl. I paired it with an artichoke heart salad.

These meals would explain partly why you're losing weight. Very healthy looking though.

That looks really. Did you eat all that yourself?

I am not all that sure... You might be infringing on the Family Dollar.

Church of the ascension parking and plowCategory: church of the ascension
Now that the snow is finally melting you can see how much of the grass they had been plowing and parking on.
Update: here you can see what matthew is talking about.
They also stopped putting their trash bins in their corral which has lead to this:

The driving on the lawn, plus that fact that they never raked any of their leaves off of the lawn last fall, means it's gonna be one huge, disgusting, muddy pit this spring. I wish the members of the church of the ascension would take more pride in the building and grounds. Can't it just become condos already?

I wonder if anyone (in power) is paying attention to this. You should take all these posts and send it to the city office.

3am computer dramaCategory: computers
When I first got a second harddrive for my laptop I decided to use dd and clone the current one instead of starting from scratch. This was never really an issue because I booted separately from the BIOS and the two shared no data.
Then yesterday at 1am I was testing with lvm when I decided to try and mount the second encrypted drive on the first. Needless to say this cause major drama and they have the same everything. I tried to change the volgroup name on the second one and it changed it on the first one too. This ended up leaving both systems a bit trashed. It was really late and I was so tired. Luckily, I had a boot disk and was able to resolve the issue from there.

What do you mean trashed? Like in lost data?!

Ironically I usually use that when I'm at Chipotle!
I have seen this at Guercio's.
that does look like it would be tasty
