JADDOG

Rewrote the model in loki to separate builders from slaves in attempt to support multinode support. I’ve also submitted a package request for Django-loki to fedora.

Just downloaded and tried out Firefox 4 Beta.
First impression: FASTER!

I didn’t expect to see such a noticeable snappiness to it. Nice work Mozilla.

I got some feedback yesterday that suggested the Nushus Fedorahosted.org page could mistakenly depict the application as CLI only. The feedback also suggested that some screenshots would be a welcome addition to the trac site and would help remedy this mis-perception.

So here the are: some nushus screenshots

It’s been far too long since I’ve posted about porchry, though I’ve been working hard to get it done. Current state: We moved in! There’s a little but of paint to touch up an the kick molding adn door molding need to be painted. But the shelving is up and stuff that needs to be stored is on the shelves.

Even though I haven’t been posting I have been taking a picture as things get completed, Here’s a catch-up on the progress.

This is where the old pantry was, new pantry is to the left.

In the above picture you can see some pipes and wires hanging down on the left side of the old pantry. These were in the wall of the pantry that I tore out. I had a plumber look at putting the pipes in the load bearing wall. Couldn’t be done as I  have a large laminate beam along the floor right there that he didn’t want to cut. You can see in the picture below that I ended up building a small chase down the wall. The fridge will go there eventually, so the chase will run up the side of the fridge when it’s all said and done.

Here’s pics of the exterior

This is how I got my Vinyl siding home, I drive it to work like this then home from work. It sat in the parking deck through the afternoon like this.

Here most of the drywall is done in the new pantry and in the picture following the drywall is completed and painted.

I don’t have pictures of the shelving up yet. I’ll get a couple when the wall where the fridge is going is finished and post one more porchry post. Maybe a video is a good way to finish off the series.

New version of nushus is available for download. Just a couple bug fixes.

***UPDATE***: See the comments, turns out there is capability in F13 to do this that I was unaware of, thx marcanoonline.com!

Got a pair of MotoRokr S9-HD headphones today, pretty cool. Pairing with my iPhone was cake. Pairing with Fedora 13 had an extra couple steps. Getting the headphones paired was not the problem, huge props to Fedora 13 for making that super easy. The issue was getting the headphone to operate in an A2DP configuration.

There is not a place that I could find to select what kind of profile to use with with output device and the device was assigned a mono configuration upon initial pairing. I found one lone post related: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=223323

$ sudo yum install pavucontrol

pavucontrol shows the headphones configured for uses as a handsfree phone device (which it can do):

Fedora already had A2DP support installed, just had to select it:

Now I have stereo output on my shiny new headphones.

Inspection
Had the inspection yesterday. More props to Town of Apex. Inspector came about 10am, I halfway didn’t expect to see him until the afternoon. I passed! He had two things for me.

1. attach the ground wire to the electrical housing.
2. make sure to insulate under the floor

I got to the office around lunch time. Nice.

Insulation
On the way home from work I stopped and picked up the insulation. If you can build your frame 16″ on center you will save yourself a whole lot of heartache! The floor was 16″ on center and the walls were 12″ The floor insulation when in to place with little effort. I had to cut each and every one of the other strips (batts?) of insulation to get them into the wall frame. Insulation only comes 15″ wide and the wall needed 11″.

Oh well, a little more time, I’m learning right? Here’s what we look like now:

Already called and ordered the insulation inspection. I’m working on getting some house wrap from a guy on craigslist and I already have the drywall. So hopefully will get to hang the drywall after the inspection tomorrow and will probably try and get the house wrap hung as soon as we dry out around here(been. It’s been raining quite a bit around here, in the time it takes to let the osb dry out a bit I can get that house wrap from the guy on craigslist.

Had a buddy come over this morning and help me finish up the framing and hang the osb.

Drilled into the concrete today and bolted the frame to the concrete. Also added a pressure treated frame for the floor. Here’s what it all looks like now:
