The White Groundhog

Filed under: — sven @ 13:35 GMT

This morning driving to work, it was slow going on Princeton Pike. Then I saw it, on Princeton Battlefield State Park, the white ground hog! I was just for a few seconds, but I would not stop. Maybe tomorrow, when I’m not car pooling with my wife, I’ll visit and try to catch a photo of the elusive, sacred, animal. Hay, people don’t call some Native Americans crazy for thinking white buffalo’s are sacred.

Upgrade to Ubuntu Feisty Fawn release

Filed under: — brendan @ 06:36 GMT

I’ve done a normal Ubuntu upgrade on my Sony Vaio TX1XP laptop to the new Ubuntu “Feisty Fawn” release.  So far it’s going along really well, and in particular I went into System->Preferences->Power Management and made it Suspend when the lid was closed instead of Hibernate.  Worked like a champ with a very very fast wakeup.  One of my most common reasons to boot into W$ndows is gone (the ability to close it and go somewhere else then open it up without waiting a long boot time).
