A purpose driven life
Monday, April 4th, 2005Life
A perfectly hot day to do nothing, was definitely Saturday Well, I did get to see parts of Closer, but the little innuendeos there made her switch it off. So Uptown Girls it was (and that was a good show), and Vanity Fair was just way too confusing for us. We’re now also reading A Purpose Driven Life, so I’m on Day #2/40. What interesting reading I’ll have, to find my purpose in such a timely fashion right before my birthday.
Sunday came and it presented itself with my house warming. Lots of people came over, and I missed my first F1 of the season. Monday, seemed like a good day to unpack the rest of my machines, and after fiddling around, I’ve ended up with a net plus of one 20gb disk. Exercise regime has started - light walking to a bit of jogging.
Fedora
LUV meeting yesterday. Gave a talk on Fedora. Re-jigged from what I did at LWE, added some screenshots, and preached about why it was cool. Got some interest in possible Extras contributors. Todo: fedora-marketing style presentations. Damn, if I wasn’t so busy this would have already happened. Also found out that folk are moving away from RHEL3 because of lack of XFS support to FC3. Troubling in some way, but also interesting enough to want to get XFS fixed I guess…
My laptop (which is what I use daily) is now running Rawhide completely. Xen is cool. Really. Rawhide is also usable. One thing that annoys me is the Metacity “lets not steal your focus” feature. Damnit, at least raise my window, it really helps when I’m having an IM chat in GAIM. Also, doing an rsync of /home seemed to work just fine (since I really wanted to go LVM this time around), I just lost some GNOME settings. system-config-lvm looks like it could use some love…
