Surprises in Flickr Views
Last time I checked on that picture it had 25 Views. As of this writing it has 230 Views. That’s not a very high number of views, but for the amount of time it’s been up (about 5 months), the subject matter (a plain view of The White House), and lack of groups (when I…

Suzanne the Monkey, for your desktop
I don’t know if you liked my Indigo Render of Suanne as much as I did, but I wanted to make it into my desktop background. Thus I left Indigo running for 42 hours at the size of my destktop and came up with this beauty. And I figured that I may as well share…

Facebook is the definite authority on relationships….
Afterall, if it’s real, why not show it to everyone? Here’s a great xkcd strip to illustrate: This had the subtitle: Facebook defines relationships. ‘Yeah, we would have broken up last night, but the net connection was down.’ Blogged with Flock Tags: Facebook, xkcd

Compiling
Recently I wanted to install VMWare on Danielle’s computer. I’ve installed Kubuntu on her Linux machine (Toad) and I wanted to get a clone over her Windows computer onto there in VMWare player. I used VMWare Converter to create the VMWare clone of her Windows computer and then put it into the Kubuntu box. But…

MythTv Remote Setup Complete
Well, almost. I got everything installed and configured for the remote to work. However, there are currently some buttons that don’t do anything – so I need to go into the config and get those buttons to do something. There are definitely some things that I need to program into the remove to get full…

sudo make me a sandwhich
I think that the single largest source of mirth at the Thanksgiving dinner was Dan’s xkcd tshirt. Dan and I were the only ones who knew what this meant. Dave was the only other person capable of grasping it. Everyone else kept asking Dan to explain the shirt over and over. No matter how many…

MythTv Update
Well, I’ve have my MythTv box for about 24 hours now. I have figured out everything that was bugging me about the system except for the remote control. I hear this may require some compiling on my end. Not something I’m fond of, but I’ve done it before, so it shouldn’t be too bad. So…

Finally, I have MythTv!
I’ve wanted one for quite a few years now. I’ve really wanted one since I got my Jetway MiniQ case about 2 years ago – almost to the day. Now I finally got all the necessary parts today and put it together. If Jetway was still selling the MiniQ (it’s discontinued) I would DEFINITELY recommend…

Upgrading to the latest Dr Queue Render Manager
Since I don’t have any animation needing to be rendered for a few months, I decided it was a great time to upgrade Dr Queue to the latest version. I’d heard that a lot of improvements had been added since version 0.60. So let’s see how the upgrade process goes: On Mario, my Fedora 8…

Getting Compiz Fusion to Work Well
In order to get my title bars back, all I had to do was run compiz-fusion in the terminal. To get it to persist I had to do SYSTEM–>Preferences–>Personal–>Sessions. Click on add, name it whatever and the command should be compiz-manager and to get all the awesome plugins you’ve been seeing since the merge with…

Mario Yum Live Upgrade to Fedora 8 complete
I had to uninstall a few more multimedia packages, but it eventually upgraded. After rebooting I arrived at GDM just fine – yay! I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the bootup time on Fedora 8 seems to a A LOT faster than it was in Fedora 7. I feel like I got to…
