Raking with Scarlett
Scarlett was begging me to do two things:
-Rake
-and jump in the leaves after raking.
We did both…

Extra Life 2015 Post-Mortem
A video in which I describe my experience participating in Extra Life 2015:
Does CentOS 7 Make a good Desktop distro?
People often recommend using CentOS for your desktop machine if you find Fedora’s pace to be too fast. Does this even make sense? I decided to explore the idea of CentOS 7 as a desktop computer using my wife’s requirements as the benchmark. Why? Because my wife likes long term support distros. What’s more long term support than Red Hat/CentOS’s 10 years of support for each version?
Scarlett Halloween in Ellicott City
As usual we went Trick or Treating in Ellicott City’s Main Street area. Just a few photos from that evening:

Scarlett "reads" The Carrot Seed
I remember doing this and getting guff from my parents for claiming that I could read. In reality I had simply memorized one of my favorite books.
Fun times at Baltimore Comic-Con 2015
In September I once again covered Baltimore Comic-Con for Comic POW! Not only did I get to meet Greg Pak, awesome creator of Code Monkey Save World and The Princess Who Saved Herself (in collaboration with Jonathan Coultan and the artists), but I got to see that I made the blurb on the back of the second volume of Altar Girl! (see my Comic POW! coverage of Altar Girl)

Playing with Fedora Rawhide
I wanted to play a bit with Fedora Rawhide so I installed Fedora 23 to a VM. I named it Blargg after the Fire Dragon in Super Mario World. (See video below) I used the following commands from the Fedora wiki:
# dnf upgrade dnf
# dnf install dnf-plugins-core fedora-repos-rawhide
# dnf config-manager --set-disabled fedora updates updates-testing
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled rawhide
# dnf clean -q dbcache plugins metadata
# dnf --releasever=rawhide --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync --nogpgcheck
## Optional: it is generally advised to do a selinux autorelabel and reboot
# touch /.autorelabel

Fedora 23 - 1 for 2 so far
I was able to get Kurio, my netbook, to upgrade to Fedora 23 without issue. BlueYoshi, the living computer, is still unable to upgrade. So far it’s tripping up on dolphin-emu, OBS-MP, and some Gnome package. I’m not sure if that’s something that’ll be fixed as RPMFusion continues to update their Fedora 23 packages or if I’ll have to do the old uninstall/reinstall dance that I sometimes have to do with these non-free packages that don’t get QA’d for a Fedora release. Not going to be doing my main computer any time soon.
Trying to upgrade to Fedora 23
Tried to upgrade the living room computer to Fedora 23. As of the time when I tried, because the RPMFusion repo wasn’t ready for Fedora 23, it couldn’t upgrade. I’ll try again in a day or two if the repo is up.
