I like prolific people. People who do things. When people produce it becomes easy to see the talents they have. Candace has an awesome photostream. Maybe I’m biased because I know more of the story behind some of these pictures, but I believe they can stand without context as just being beautiful pictures. Or sometimes pictures of beautiful things. Just life - framed well.
Here are a few of my favourites. Read the rest of “An Awesome Photostream”…

A couple weeks ago I wanted to try out TrixBox (the new name for Asterisk@Home). As far as I understand it’s supposed to be a BDI for Asterisk. I still don’t like their installer - the instructions on their site don’t match the instructions you get when you boot from the disc. When the disc boots, it looks just like the normal installer for Fedora Core or CentOS. The screen says you can pass parameters to the kernel at boot. I usually use the line “linux ide=nodma” to avoid some issue with my hard drive controller or drives that slows things down. So I did the same thing here. And I got a familiar Anaconda Installer. This is the same path I went down with Asterisk@Home and never got anywhere. That’s because there are packages listed on the installer screens that can’t be installed.

Yesterday was the first chance I actually had to install the World of Warcraft 1.11 patch. It came out the day before but Blizzard has some well-known “issues” with getting patches out to their millions of subscribers. What I don’t get is that they had the clever update software able to send me 126MB of the 151MB patch in the background while I was playing over the past little while. Why not send the rest as well? I spent a couple hours trying to track down a free mirror that I could get the thing from…
Anyhow, the character I play most often is a mage, so this patch had big changes for me. The talent tree was revamped for mages and I got to redo my talents. Thanks to some input from this thread on how to use a solo mage to beat up crowds with Area of Effect (AoE) spells, I leaned toward the frost talents.
