Ooh–nice surprises with KMail
I just noticed also that KMail's next/previous message keys are Right/Left Arrow, whilst Up/Down Arrows ALWAYS scroll the message. THIS MAKES TONS OF SENSE!!! I always hated in Evolution how if you hit the Up arrow while the message list is focused, you go to the previous message. In other words, you either had the message pane selected and up/down moved between messages, or you had the message preview pane selected and up/down scrolled the message. This makes kmail tons more user-friendly, IMO!! Nice thinking, kmail guys!! Also, the fact that you can configure your keyboard shortcuts in KMail (in ANY KDE application) is WAY more user-friendly than Gnome's model which doesn't let you do this without becoming root, searching through XML files, etc., and editting the XML files by hand to change the keyboard shortcuts. KDE even allows you to have more than one shortcut assigned to a given action. See, little things like this have always made KDE more user-friendly to me.
Introducing… a memofile conduit for KPilot
So, the Knotes conduit in Kpilot doesn't work for me, and several others. After talking with Adriaan de Groot for a while yesterday, I've come to the following conclusions:
Using KDE now
So, I have just come out of a self-imposed exile from KDE (you remember them, right? the team that wrote KHTML--the HTML rendering engine that Apple uses?). A while ago, a friend of mine challenged my manhood by saying that Gnome had everything I wanted if only I would get used to it.
Abject silliness, whether you need it or not
So this time, I took my little Ashleigh to the toy store to spend her gift card so graciously given her by her thoughtful Aunt and nephews (Hi Jen, Elijah, Nate!!). And... wouldn't you know it... there sat that same, dejected, all-alone-looking instant photo booth again. So we punished it with our silliness.

In case anyone else in this world gets this error message, having found themselves in the same position as me, wherein said individual is using a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router, has a Linux box behind it, running fetchmail from one's house, through said Linksys router, and has purchased Linksys's Parental Control feature to protect one's home, children, self, wife, and pets....
Installing Fedora Linux using a USB thumbdrive
This is the coolest thing since sliced mustard, just let me tell you!! =:) I spent more time trying to figure out how to do it than actually doing it. As it turns out, Fedora gives you a disk image for precisely this reason.
‘Twas a good weekend
It was and truly. It was my beautiful bride's birthday today. So the kiddos and I surprised her with (among other things) what she wanted for her birthday... a new vacuum cleaner!!!! This to replace our classic model that we've been hanging on to for the last 5 years or so. You can tell it's a classic, by the way, from the classic Sleek Wooden Support Structures that adorn its sides. They don't sell 'em like that, you know, no sir. You have to custom-build them baybees!!
Dang it feels good to be a…
To borrow from the uber-classic Office Space.... =:)
NetworkManager, fedora, and the liberation of Honey Nut Cheerios
Okay, I've wasted the last 3 hours trying to get this to work and am done with it. Here's what I've found:
The importance of a good user design for your toilet
Just found this page. I don't know how I got there... I think I followed a link from Kevin Fox's site. Anyway, this is quite funny....
