how do I even know if anyone even sees these pages? I suppose that's why I stopped updating them

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
         in through the chan spam.

What ever happened to

Nostolga?

It's a mean world.

Sometimes people 'loose' things. Their loss. You know you sent it. They send you a threatening letter. What is to say? Really? Their mistake. They force your hand. They are so clever! But it's really really mean. Not nice. Unfair. heavy handed. They deserve no explanation. I will not name them here. They have forever besmirched themselves in my eyes and I will forever recommend against using their services. At least until I get over it. Which shouldn't take very long. And then I'll forget they even exist. The world will continue. It will be as if they no longer exist which is, in fact, a possibility due to the severity of their bad karma for doing what they have done. But . . . it's no big thing. It's all good. They just want some quick turn over, a little bonus before the office closes for good. I am sure that they are hoping to at least get a place on the last boat out. If they think like that. Maybe.

It amazes me that people behave far worse than I could ever imagine. Their cliche behavior is completely perdictible.

If you buy and hold, but hold it forever, what will it ever profit you?

Is everything always about profit?

Conservation is only real when there is no money in it.

People are able to place statements on a web page that sound very substantial, but that have no substance. Should they be 'held to account?'

When Is say that Conservation is only real when there is no money in it, what I mean is that if there is an active fussing around the thing that is to be conserved, and that it is only for the purposes of keeping it, Imean like wildlife in a forest. If you build roads, or towers and sensors, you aren't really conserving it. What I've noticed is that 'conservation' land often abutts places thatare owned or controlled by very powerful and influential . . . estates of the well-to-do. And they run the non-profit and make people pay for access to the 'conservation' land. If they were really conserving it there would be no sign calling attentin to it. No one would go there. It would left to itself.

Ah, but everyone wants a piece of something.

When life throughs rotten apple at you, plant an apple tree.

wouldn't it be cool if all the 
anmations were really easy to make?
There is a randomness to the way that animated
things show up in a browser, depending on the
scope and the span and the name of the class, there
are various 'initalization' functions that act
on the various nodes of this page. So my
animated colored letters and spans sometimes are reassigned
to a wierd place on the screen.
The span animation of the letters isolates them and makes
them unavailable in one sense. You can search for them,
but they won't be found.
If I take the spans away, they are found.
The key is that there must be a
pre process.

Shake it shake shake it

Ah, rough winds to shake,

 shake those darlings.

make those buddy trees shake 
 and bob in the wind,
  rough winds

 the white caps 
     covering the bay

    watch them go

   the street
     the wind
 darling buds to petal fall
  shake the boughs, shake it all!
 Shake those darling buds in May
    rough the blooms,
      blow the petals away
   red strecked white caps
         on the bay
      scent of apple, cherry, bloom,
          shake those buds

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.
