P90X Fail Whale
Jul 21st
This post was originally intended to be my transformation story of a guy 5’11″ weighing 240 lbs to slimming down to the low 200′s. NOPE! “No soup for you!” This post has now been repurposed into showing you just how hard and how committed you really need to be in order to complete the P90X workout system. The main challenge is that this system requires you to switch gears and work out every day for 90 days. I don’t know about you, but going from the status of not active sitting on my butt playing Xbox to training for a triathlon is insane.
Enable SSH on Fedora 15
May 25th
Good ol’ Secure Shell or SSH — who would want to live without them!? To give you a text-book definition; SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let get down to business. You’ve got a fresh install of Fedora 15, with that wonky GNOME 3 desktop, and need to figure out how to enable SSH. This article is simply a barebones way of getting started. There’s a better method to make the SSH session more secure, but I haven’t researched that yet.In order to run some of the commands you’ll need to have the root account’s password.

Roll a D6
May 5th
A couple friends of mine introduced me to this video from Connor Anderson and Aaron Mull on YouTube. Since I’m a Dungeons & Dragons fan, I instantly loved this music video. It’s a parody song based on “Like a G6” by Far East Movement. I was surprised by how good the larping costumes were. Great Indy film.
Adding User Account to Sudoer File
May 1st
Ever wanted to run a command normally executed by the root user account, but didn’t want to log in as root? Hell ya! I know I have. The easiest solution to this problem is to add your user account to a file located at /etc/sudoers and you’re good to go. In this example I’m running Fedora 14 x86_64 (Gnome desktop) in a non corporate environment. The catch is you need to already have root access.
Whatcha’ Say!?
