Nuvola Player Fedora 16

08-Mar-12

I’ll leave this here for posterity. What is Nuvola Player? As root: yum install gcc glib2-devel libgee-devel libsoup-devel gtk2-devel webkitgtk-devel python vala libnotify-devel libX11-devel unique-devel bzr json-glib-devel intltool I believe these are all the dependencies. Some may already be installed, my installation wasn’t ‘pure’ by the time I tried setting up Nuvola Player. As user: [...]

A graphic novel so beautiful and poignant it moved me to tears. Absolutely brilliant.

Act my age

04-Mar-12

I don’t wanna grow up I’m a toys-r-us kid Except my body and age indicate that I’m closer to middle age than my teenager years. Is it more admirable to be young at heart or act your age? And if it’s the latter, how do you do that?

Prius V

We went to Toyota’s dealership in Ardmore, and it appears they cleaned out all the old sales people (good). The people that we met were very nice (very good). And the cars were pretty interesting (good). We received a letter that they’d be interested in letting me trade in my xB for what appeared to [...]

19-Feb-12

Hot damn. Truth be told, getting the fonts to look sharp required learning a LOT more about how linux handles fonts than I ever cared to learn (btw, Ubuntu does not have this problem).

09-Feb-12

I don’t think I studied for an exam – any exam – as hard as I studied for that exam. Lisa was a saint, by the way – she handled all the wakeups over the week that I broke myself studying. I went all out – ipad, laptop, headphones playing only brown noise from 8pm [...]

I expect to fail

07-Feb-12

But will be delighted if I pass. But seriously, I expect to fail this exam… mostly because I don’t know what to expect. Every student in my program at my hospital has failed this exam at least once. Will I be the first to pass? Probably not. But I can say I tried pretty hard, [...]

Crunch time

06-Feb-12

Before Leesie asks, I’m taking a break from my studying. Generally, devices fall in and out of favor based on how ‘clutch’ the device is; as in, when I really need it, does it work? For example, the ipod touch fell into major disfavor when I needed it to do something (I don’t even remember [...]
