A Longing for Hackery
Aug 18th
Last night I watched Parasite Dolls on Netflix. Wow; what a bad Anime. I gave it two stars, but during the scenes when the hacker was working on his computer I felt a deep loss in my heart. It’s been about 2, maybe 3 months since I last logged into my Fedora partition. I fear that I may miss out on Fedora 13 by time I get it working. It’s a very long story to tell, but one of these days I’m going to take some time out of my busy schedule and fix my computer.
In the meantime if anyone has a motherboard that’s similar to a BioStar TA690G AM2 5.x – contact me. I think I broke mine. :’(
Boot Fedora or Ubuntu Live via USB
Jun 29th
I think I’ve earned some FOSS badges of honor this past week or so. I’ve become very efficient at flashing my USB key and getting it ready to either boot Fedora or Ubuntu Live. There is a way to totally customize your USB key by not having to use Pendrive or LiveUSB Creator, but I’ll leave that for the advanced post. However, in this post, I’ll talk about the basics of getting your USB key ready to test the latest versions of Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10.04. It looks like a pretty intimidating list of what needs to be done, but they each have very short executions:
- What’s Needed
- Getting Your ISO’s
- Getting the USB Software
- Preparing Your USB Key
- Boot via USB key
As a side note, I’m a little embarrassed to say that I did this in Microsoft Windows. At the time, I couldn’t get into my Fedora 12 x86_64 install. It was a simple GRUB issue, but I didn’t make the effort to correct it. Quite the irony (-5 HP).
Day of the Jedi!
May 25th
Today, May 25th, is known by many devout Star War fans as “Day of the Jedi“. Yet after doing a little bit of research I now know that today is really “Geek Pride Day“. I like “Day of the Jedi” better! I missed posting something on the epically-coincidental “May the fourth be with you” Day (May 4th) so I made sure not to miss this opportunity.
What is “Day of the Jedi”? For those poor Star Trek souls that don’t know, I’ll shed some light on the subject. Or you can look it up on Wikipedia like I did. 
Whatcha’ Say!?
