Don’t think I like that.

Debate Prediction
Debate Prediction
I predict that tonight’s #presidentialdebate will further strengthen my opinion that neither of the major party’s delegates are suitable to run this country effectively.
A troubling state of our union. I do not wish to “throw away my vote” (again) on a 3rd party candidate that has no chance of winning. At the same time I cannot with a good conscience cast a vote for the best of two evils.

When a new species is introduced into an ecosystem the delicate balance of the system is changed forever and more often than not that change is not a positive one.
If you read the underlying study http://goo.gl/LvqYK this was an unintentional introduction. It does however, provide more evidence that when people mess with mother nature the results cannot be accurately predicted. So why do we continue to do this intentionally today?

My ’86 Honda Shadow made me walk today
My ’86 Honda Shadow made me walk today
Didn’t walk long, I called a buddy to come pick me up. Acted like it ran out of fuel, but I knew that wasn’t the problem. This bike has an electric fuel pump and I figured that was the culprit. After I got home I grabbed a bottle with a lid, some fuel line, and a jug of gas. I had my wife take me back to my bike. I disconnected the fuel line and put mine in it’s place and put the other end of the fuel line in a hole in the lid of the bottle. Then I disconnected the power to the fuel pump (just in case it was or started pumping). Filled the bottle with gas turned it upside down and strapped it to the handlebars. Looked kinda goofy but it got me home. I did have to squeeze the bottle a few times, because it was creating a vacuum.
Got to digging into it after I got home and found the pump to be OK, but the fuel pump relay wasn’t giving power to the pump.
New pump would have been ~120 – 160 dollars. OEM relay is not available due to the age of the bike. I may be able to find one that will work for a few dollars. In the meantime I’ll jump the leads to the relay to bypass it 50 cent terminals and a couple inches of wire. Good to go!
A little R&R at Wisconsin Dells with the grandkids
A little R&R at Wisconsin Dells with the grandkids
Kathy KKBspace & I took our grand boys Matthew & Cameron to Wisconsin Dells for a few days.
We hit a couple water parks and amusement parks. Went climbing a rock wall, rope climbing, and laser tag. I only got pictures of the laser tag (bummer). This was the second time they played. I played too the 1st time.
I guess I’m no spring chicken anymore. Duck walking for a half hour makes your legs pretty sore. The 2nd half of the week was rest & recuperation. Still pretty sore, but had a blast with the kids!
A week with Mint KDE 13 RC
A week with Mint KDE 13 RC
Install was painless.
Audio did not work out of the box. Unistalled pulseaudio, and removed HDMI from output choices. All better!
Had a couple crazy bugs with Dolphin launching on logon for no reason??? Also on one reboot, had a bunch of stuff start on logon that would restart when closed, required me to go to a virtual console and restart KDM… Don’t know what caused this, thankfully it did not reproduce.
A few control panel options did not apply when closed and required manual editing… I don’t remember which ones they were.
It’s KDE, and it’s still resource intensive. This one seems to be very hungry. I’ve a fairly decent setup and although I could see higher resources being used, I generally could not see a significant slowdown. One thing I did notice that shouldn’t be was very high cpu cyles used on large file transfers. This load should be on the SATA bus, and I have no idea why this load was taxing the cpu.
This just removed this distro & it won’t be my alternative to GNOME3.
Currently I’m test driving Mint LMDE with xfce. From what I’ve seen so far I’m hoping I don’t get a ticket. Yes, it’s quick!
Something else to attack
Something else to attack
OK, we’ve found the latest health risk of which the government must absolutely change the public’s mindset.
I would suggest the following to get the ball rolling:
1) Begin taxing sleep by the minute. Incrementally increase this per minute charge as people start sleeping less in order to keep this tax revenue stable.
2) Mandate that all chairs, sofas, and beds be plastered with extra large warning labels with slogans like “Doing nothing will kill you” while depicting some sloth covered with bedsores.
3) Demand Mayor Bloomberg ban all overstuffed recliners.
4) In order to indoctrinate our youth all bleachers in school gymnasiums should be removed.
What else can you come up with?
