It's A Binary World 2.0

  • Strange Gas Pump

    Is this supposed to show that it hasn’t been tampered with?

  • Current favorite thing about KDE with Kmail setup

    Hitting alt-F2 then typing email (contact name – eg Danielle) and enter and then it presents me with an email window to send an email. No need to navigate to gmail.com or go over to the screen running Kmail (actually, usually Kontact).

  • Needs More Science Education

    Needs More Science Education

    My 1.5 year old daughter doesn’t understand entropy yet so she doesn’t understand why she can’t just put it back after she rips a flower off a house plant.

  • Jobs

    What does The Man in the Yellow Hat do for a living that allows him to afford a big apartment in NYC and a big house upstate?

  • SuperMario is at Fedora 24

    My main computer is now on Fedora 24. This time around I only had to uninstall HDR Merge (which was from my COPR and I hadn’t built a Fedora 24 version yet) and OBS-Studio because there isn’t a Fedora 24 package for it yet. Not bad. After rebooting, I didn’t have graphics. Then rebooting once…

  • A quick correction

    Just as with Scarlett (when she was a baby), we THOUGHT Sam had teeth coming. Everyone felt something in his mouth. He had all the signs….but, alas, no teeth yet.

  • Sam wins the teeth race

    Sam wins the teeth race

    Yesterday Sam’s teeth started erupting – making him the earliest of the three kids to get their teeth and also explaining the last few days of insane amounts of drooling. (this was not a pre-published post)

  • Thank You OBS Developers

    Thank You OBS Developers

    A quick thank you to the developers of OBS for adding the latest features in OBS Multiplatform 0.13.1. It was already a great platform, but with Studio Mode and video sources starting anew when going to a scene, it is near perfect for my use. All this by volunteers and for all three major OS…

  • 2015 In Music (According to Spotify – Last.fm report is later this year …. after 2015 is actually over….)

  • 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.

  • Fedora and Dell Inspiron 17

    I recently had to reinstall an OS on the wife’s Dell Inspiron 17. I was unable to complete an install for Fedora 22, but Fedora 21 and Fedora 23 beta were able to install. It would always freeze mid-install – usually around 70 or 80%. From what I could gleam on the net, it has…

  • This year has provided more examples than ever of this…

  • Neat KDE Connect Behavior

    I have KDE connect installed on my computer and phone. KDE connect allows phone alerts to appear on my computer – letting me see if I’m getting a text or something. It just went off, letting me know I had a phone call. What’s neat is that I was listening to music and it paused…
