Explore Posterous

After about an hour and a half of playing with posterous.com I think I am sold.

I think I've found my new nexus. Adding a Posterous contact to my
phone's contacts with multiple emails such as twitter@...,
facebook@..., twitter+facebook@..., etc. to control where stuff goes
is just going to make things so much simpler. When I send something to
twitter it uses the subject as the tweet and appends an URL where I
can add a little more than a 140 characters if I care to. Clever,
logical and simple. Thanks to @trhall for putting it back on my radar.

Quirkyalones: Wenn das Alleinsein zur Passion wird

Verletzte Gefühle, quälender Liebeskummer und einsame Stunden. Irgendwann hatte Antje Lücke genug davon. Sie beschloss, nie wieder wegen eines Mannes zu leiden. Und wurde zu einem Quirkyalone.

Massive blister on my thumb from rubbing gunk off my trunk left by the M3 badge.

I wasn't real happy with the double-sided tape that came on the monochrome M3 badge I bought...it was yellow and visible even after I filled in the edges with black sharpie so it made it look cheap to me. I got tired of looking at it and noticing it every time so I finally took it off today.

The cheap part (which wasn't cheap, actually) left me a little present on my thumb. The adhesive might have been ugly, but it sure was strong. I'm just glad it didn't damage my paint. It's nice and smooth now :D

Fedora 12 preupgrade issues

If you are having issues with upgrading Fedora from 11 to 12 with error messages saying that your /boot partition is full *and* this walkthrough doesn't help I may have a solution for you:

1. Boot into your Fedora 11 kernel
2. remount /boot as read write (mount -o remount rw /boot)
3. move the file /boot/upgrade/install.img to unencrypted storage, I used a USB key
4. Reboot into the Fedora 12 upgrade kernel, when it errors out with a message claiming it can't find the installation image point it at the place you moved the install.img file to. 
5. Have a beer, the upgrade takes awhlie

The walkthrough on Fedora Project was for people preparing to upgrade, I however was stuck halfway though an upgrade so their solutions didn't help me.
