Linux Picks Up Where Windows FAIL!
Jun 2nd
I just wanted to share about our experience last night with trying to log into our Bank of America account. Ever since we moved (about a month ago) my wife had a 70/30 chance of successfully logging into our online banking. After you put in your credentials you’d get a “address could not be found” error. She contacted their folks and, of course, nothing is wrong on their end. So she did some research and other people have experienced the same thing. From her research she’s seen that the common denominator is… you guessed it… Windows Vista!
So; knowing that, we tried it on my installation of Fedora and I tried it with Epiphany and Firefox and BoYAH! We’re in! Just one more reason to switch from Windows to Linux. Linux can get you into online banking.
Moving Along
Apr 2nd
There are a lot of things happening in my life, but it’s not time to broadcast them yet. The kids are fine (all 3 of them) and me and the wife are happy. My full-time job at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is becoming more stable since I made a very hard decision about my freelance work with Digital · Alias. One can surely guess what I mean based on that sentence, but since everything isn’t final – I’ll keep it vague.
In the world of Linux, I’m getting very tired of Firefox not working out the way I’d like it to. It’s always ran very slow on my desktop (Fedora x86_64). I’ve switched to Epiphany (a GNOME project) and boy does that web browser need some work. Good thing is, it’s fast, bad thing is it’s very immature and I miss ALL the convenient features Firefox has. I’ll stick with it because I need speed more than convenience.

Install Flash Player (64-bit) on your Linux System
Dec 24th
I am really surprised at the amount of postings that show you where to get the new Flash Player 10 (x86_64), but not really how to install it if all goes wrong. Yah, they’ll always have, “simply click double click on the RPM file and all will be well in the world.” kind of talk, but what happens if all is NOT well in the world!? Luckily for me (and you), it always goes wrong – so I end up having to do a manual install every time. Hopefully this post will help you figure all that out.
Whatcha’ Say!?
