And did he ever even get to that part about 'helmet safety' and that the guy in the photo wasn't wearing one?

Oh, no, yet another topic for the echo factory to pretend that people care about and repeat over and over.

 
 this is a lot more
             fun
         than wading

Gossip is often so wrong!

And you all know who you are. "rumor has it . . . " I'm not buying it. Or if I'm buying it, I'm aleast not paying for it . . . Rumor is . . . that rumors are often wrong. Heard he's doing such and so even though I don't really know. Rumors are like manure. You spread them and watch how things grow. But it's a kind of manure that, I guess, I've heard tell, I'm not saying but I will anyway . . . cause I'm just like that . . . rot like this. It's manure. There are better words than manure but they'd get me filtered off of silly giggle. When do we stop loving and just start gossiping? A willful lie that takes it's heart to the end of time that lives in the nile. In Eygpt. See how I say things by walking through the desert first? I'm addicted and out of control and need God's interscession to help me. There, I've said it. Rumor is . . . you are too. Get help for yourself there gossip-head. You go off dancing and following bliss for the scent of a few pounds of kind. And if people are more than kind, they get all paranoid "I've forgotten how to love. No body will dance with me anymore." And if you don't understand what they seem to worship, or you've recently been enlightened, there s this strange and poetic thing that happens to you. Out there in the desert. You suddenly don't just know for you but you know for everyone else. Which you can't really. Thus the delusion. And you stand there confused saying what other people (so you delude) should see as obvious. But you are in the delusion yourself. Your own delusion. Everyone's is different. They are not the same. There are many delusions. Some of them are true. Some of them are false. Some of them are painted blue and used for trucking. No body is sure why. So they wonder off into delusive fantasies. Get roped into images that titilated, fearing saying truth that will be censored. "Put the rope around his neck, he's a fornicator" Do we fear the fear of fear of fear? do words have to be used to make tautologies? Do I need to throw another log on the fire? Is that still legal? Get help so says the gossip. And even though the gossip is a gossip maybe the gossip is write about something. Right about something. Writing about something. Maybe the gossip is writing about something but he can't really say what it is. He can only beg in his mind that he'd have as few words as needed to say what he's been begging to say. If I could tell you was what itched me for 7 years. And then to be true with it, not fearing. But falling into my own depravities, things like what plauged St Augistine, and bitter and acrimonious in my paranoias (out in those desserts of gossip). I looked in the mirror and saw a man needing much improvement and then started throwing things away. No charity other than friends is worthy, so I thought. I'll saunter off to the Mohawk trail hide-away sleepy-dells of my recondite mind (that I've constructed in my fantasies, happy men who've grown in recollection, no longer chasing the fleeting winds of scents of gossipy sex tales and things that make you crave for more of it. I imagined a happy highland like paradise that had loving crowds not on drugs, not drunk, maybe not even corporal or here now but here later, but like a memory, you see, a paradox . . . the past is in the future, the future is in the past . . . and . . . The whole thing devolves, like I'm delirious, having been off in the snowy blizzards now turning to rain. Just before it alll got frozed over. I've confided in my confidant, don't even know who it is. And I'm weary and needing the nest, but it doesn't come yet. This moment is frozen. The fire is off over there. I'm not at it. I've been caked with ice. This is a true venue for letting love shine through. But no body calls it that. There is no concept of neon-signs here. There are no highway lights or tracktor trailor drivers barroling down the midnight route two places,, the sound of two AM church bells (stepple house dongs). The porn star is bighting his lip. Is he less rreal because you see him in the free on-line videos? Do you worry that he, too, has lost his way? Do you create faantasies with him in it? You meet him in a woodland hiking. This is a memory, like the past, but it happens in the future. He is curious how you know who he is. "No, reaally, it's that you're a realestate agent, right? You showed me a house in Belching-town." But he knows you're lying. He's upset at you. What will his dad or his wife say if they ever ffound out? Hey, dude, I know you're real too, enticing me to download at 3AM when I'm buzzed and shirking my moral duties. I'm busy buzzing and chasing blissful glances of handsome faces and not so much naughty but hot to the touch. Oh yaa. A craven minon of you. But I want to be better and so do you in this memory. And then it is that you aren't even there. Like video fading. Is anyone reading this?

Praise the Lord for insight given!

Fix your self and the world gets fixed around you

as an example . . . I have tried to do some introspective things as I come into awareness of my own flaws, and recognize the way I act and correct my self and make a better narrative for myself and for others.




you raise me up
from far away
when a memory
of you
lifts me!



Somethings never change
nothing need stay the same
ah, but on a website
the constant change
 is kind-of the point . . .

change without continuity and tradition is often very hard to manage for those thrust into it. And thus the frame of things gives a place for the change to happen. If you violate that idea then you are coming up with something completely different and maybe no one will want to see your new idea, or use your great, new venue, because it's too far out, and very far away from what they currently care about. It's a nether or a meta and it's merely for a lark? Or does it become the next big thing? As fun as graphics are (CGI) and animation, and making a world to fly around in (like minetest, which is easy when you learn how) ultimately such a meta is a hollow place. It's a distraction during the season of gaming. It allows one to brush up on geometry and math, and architectural design, it gives people training in computer languages, it allows someone to make some graphical ideas, and pass a few hours of time every few days or so . . .

To live within such a realm really isn't possible.

Poem Shards

just who reads, who writes these poems?
off a mountain road the poet roams
but only in a poem.

Realizing that the empty 
is empty
and not needing anything there.

just who shows up and for what?
I'm lonely or am alone or what does it matter?
driving off towards the nothing
walking along the nowhere path
up high
sure, it's a pretty view
but seen it, done it, jaded, back to the air port
he flew
his fantasy of happy vacation was through.


The deep snow.
The deep snow.
She doesn't know how deep. 
She didn't think about it. 
Depth of snow
no one know
in rills and hollows
where you shouldn't go
when the storm is fierce
and the night is cold
even you shouldn't be so bold.

poem is from 2012 
short story titled Blizzard Baby





The morning light is hued in cold awareness.
Warming in the sun the bunny explores the snow covered lawn.
The tracks melt by mid morning. 
Bunny doesn't know what the song means, anyway.




 This giant bubble that we call awareness?
  How could it have been formed?
  Seemingly hollow,
  it's filled up
  with you
  reading this
  and wondering
  where does this idle poet
  get his idle hours
  to spew out this bubble web
  of hollowness?

Coders Edge

served to you by:

Fedora 40

After 40 different versions what can one say about it anymore? It's installed in all my systems, a day earlier. There are a few minor issues, but no show stoppers.

I did some stuff with lvm to resize a root area. That took a very long time. It's on a machine that maybe just should be retired . . .

Fedora Core 38 beta

Ya, I decided to load Fedora Core 38 Beta about a month ago, and this machine kept shutting down . . . I think I finally fixed it. Tomorrow is the big release day for the Fedora Core 38. My production workstation is still running FC37. I don't know if I'll jump right on it right away. . .

my server is still resetting, or maybe I have it fixed. I decided to just remove plasma-desktop, as I don't use it. The journals were giving all kinds of errors with that, and I think that might have been the issue, conflicting with the gdm that I do use. Worst case I'd just go to runlevel 3 but, as I said in another column, I don't really even know if anyone views these pages anyway.

My production box would upgrade but the dnf says it would downgrade grum and associated tools, and that's never a good thing to do. I'm just not going to do it! anyway I'll check tomorrow when the offical release is and probably do it then. If I'm in the mood.

So now I've run every version of Fedora serving this website! that's a long time.


April 17, 2023 8:28 PM EST

here is from a year ago:

Fedora Core 36 beta

It took some time to figure out how to defeat the new screensaver built in, but I was able to. It's the biggest downside to the new Gnome.

I set the keybindings to something I don't use, and then put in a custom keybinding to use the old tool.

There are other minor things that annoy too, like the restoration of a deleted file that I always have to delete again on every FC core upgrade. The file is name camera-shutte.oga. It's in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo

1:12 AM EST 9 April, 2022

At the precipice of coding.

a mountain trail often has a place with a great view and a perilous fall if you wonder just a bit too far to one side of the trail. It's called a precipice. It's not a scary place. It's a safe place that one passes through.

OK, so I've done an update to FC34.

the biggest issue was . . . . drum roll . . .a lock up of gnome.

and if i clicked on the activities button I would need to reload (log out log back in).

I was able to run stuff without that, and thus determined a list of files that might need to be removed. I did as full reinstall of gnome as such:

dnf reinstall gnome

then I did a

dnf list installed |grep fc33

which gave me a list of files to consider uninstalling.

from that I got the following:

first odd issue:

sudo was not at first working! I had to install it! I kept the configuration file so I have my preferences still set up.

dnf install sudo                                                                                                                                                                          dnf reinstall gnome-*                                                                                                                                                                       dnf reinstall kde*                                                                                                                                                                          dnf reinstall NetworkManager*                                                                                                                                                               dnf remove gnome-screensaver                                                                                                                                                               dnf remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-20.04.0-2.fc33.noarch                                                                                                                       dnf remove xorg-x11-xkb-extras-7.7-33.fc33.x86_64                                                                                                                                          dnf remove compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64                                                                                                                                        dnf remove mozjs60-60.9.0-7.fc33.x86_64

there are still some fc33 packages, (I also looked for fc32 packages, anything older that was gnome)

sudo dnf list installed |grep fc33
biber.noarch                                         2.14-4.fc33                            @fedora               
gamin.x86_64                                         0.1.10-37.fc33                         @fedora               
libgta.x86_64                                        1.0.9-5.fc33                           @fedora

if removing a package also removed large numbers of other packages, I left it. For each of the few that I did remove, I always would make sure by reading what would happen before agreeing to the transaction.

now the gnome-shell is working and it doesn't lock up. So which of the packages that I removed made the difference? I am not sure.

and so after just a few short hours of install, I've got my system working in away that seems normal.

the new gnome shell moves the icons to the bottom of the screen.

I find gnome-shell to be annoyingly poppy at times. I tend to do things rapidly, and all the popping can be nauseating.

It is helpful to learn how to use dnf. I've found that the reverse history stuff works as long as you haven't made too many changes. It's a dicey, though, to try and go back to an older revision but I did it ONCE. Next time it didn't work out so well. AT that point it was installing dnf and yum from rpms.

and I had success. It's the kind of thing that when you know how to do it . . .

but there was one other trick that I needed and it was a scary way to reset a password and I did discover how to do it. I'm not sharing that one (barely remember) it's like these things exist in a nether, and it's best to . . . let the knowledge fade unless you need it. It's too scary to dwell in that space.

anyway, gnome shell is working. It's not flighty and hanging up. And all it took was to remove the old packages of gnome that might conflict with it. And now I can continue with my review.
