Twitter is broken due to a DDoS attack. The AP story I pulled downplays it quite a bit -- it's not just the East Coast, and it is continuing into the afternoon. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-tn-dyn-attack-20161021-snap-story.html

We ate at @oleegousa twice this weekend -- it's that good. My new No. 1 at @WestfieldFS #ShermanOaks

Why Linus likes the GPL license more than the BSD

Our 13-year-old can't wrap her head around life without the Internet and smartphones. How can I blame her?

I've been thinking about the pre-web, pre-smartphone days. That is all.

It feels like a month since I took the Twitter and Google News apps off of my phone. Still have them on the tablet, but not the phone.

The great people at @laptopkeys got me typing 'n' once again

Shopify is a huge e-commerce web-site provider, and they use Ruby on Rails https://engineering.shopify.com

Yelp, thank you for withholding your content because I'm using a tablet and don't want your stupid app.

Will Fedora 22 OpenShot run on Fedora 24 and solve the "OpenShot 2.x is horrible" issue? Only one way to find out.

You think you can do what you do on a laptop with a tablet if you add a keyboard and mouse. But you can't. Creating content remains a "real" computer's game.

Audacity is having a screen-rendering issue in Fedora 24. Bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1347053

I've probably edited 100 videos with the "old" OpenShot, but I can say without reservation that the new OpenShot has gone to hell

Older versions of Citrix Receiver, aka ICAClient, are available. I'm thinking my particular apps like 13.0 better than 13.3.

Fedora's yumex-dnf has been broken for about a week. The issue is with dnfdaemon, and a fix is on the way https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1338564#c18

Update: The fix is in. Yumex-dnf is working again.

As I do occasionally, I used GNOME 3 instead of Xfce 4.12 today to start my work. It all fell apart when the GNOME screenshot utility barely worked.

Update: I mapped GNOME Screenshot to alt-P instead of PrintScreen, and that works, but it's hard to choose the type of image I want, which is JPG, and the only way to make it work is to take the PNG offered and convert it later.

In contrast, the Xfce screenshot tool works with the PrintScreen key and makes any kind of image I want with no complaining.
