Nushus Screenshots

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010


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

Porchry – Wrap, Drywall, Old Pantry

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

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.

MOTOROKR S9-HD + Fedora 13 in A2DP

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

***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.
