It’s almost done installing. I’ve stayed up too long to go to sleep now. Although, I doubt I’ll stay up past one. I might have to finish it off tomorrow. Anyway…it looks like they’ve eliminated the time left to install. That’s probably a good thing as for the past 3+ [...]

I usually wait a while to install new Fedora releases, but a few things made me decide to give a whirl today. First of all, my torrent finished at a reasonable time. Second, Freshrpms is actually already ready for the upgrade. Finally, I read online that it’s a pretty stable release that [...]

A while back (6 mo to a year ago), I tried Rhythmbox and found it too buggy for me. I absolutely hated it. I loved Amarok so I used that within KDE, but it took forever to load within Gnome. So what was I to do? Ever since Fedora started packaging [...]

I thought I’d have to wait for Fedora 7 to experience Pidgin (what gaim got renamed to due to their legal battles with AOL – as I previously blogged), but they provided it for Fedora Core 6.
The interface has changed a little. Here are some screenshots showing my first impressions on the differences:
Here’s Gaim

And it’s called Moonshine. I like the name better than Zod, Fedora Core 6’s name.
Here’s the announcement from the Red Hat Mailing List:
* From: The Fedora Project
* To: fedora-announce-list redhat com
* Subject: Announcing Fedora 7 (Moonshine)

…is a lot of fun. I love pulverizing (and being pulverized) in the mini games.

Can be found here. However, there is profanity involved, so don’t go there if that offends you. Otherwise hilarious. That’s all I have to say today, spent my time out of work watching disc 4 of “The Office” and pre-ordering Mario Party 8.

This guy wrote software to control music loop software with a Wiimote. Unfortunately, I think it’s only for macs.

Thanks to the helpful users over at blenderartists.org, I was able to solve the problem of the water turning black upon landing on the table in my fluid simulations. Apparently, I needed to turn on TraShadows (transparent shadows). You may want to save this for your last step because it causes the renders [...]

I was the photographer for a wedding this weekend (that’s the reason behind the lack of any posts recently). Here are some of my favorite shots so far.

I tried another shot at using the physics engine and here’s my latest work. I rendered this at full HD resolution so it took 2 days and 7 hours to render these 990 frames. Enjoy!

Fedora 7 should be out in 8 days. This time around there isn’t much I’m looking forward to in the new release as they are mostly just laying the groundwork for more changes in future Fedoras. My wish list is better compiz support and just a few newer versions of stuff like Pidgin [...]
