OK, I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but somehow my theme got broken during the night, which is why you haven’t seen any updates here until now. At least now I can communicate and maybe figure out what’s going on.

Light Blogging
I’m going down to Long Beach to the AIAA space conference, and probably won’t take a laptop. I may post something or tweet from my phone, but probably not a lot.
More Useless Spam Than Usual
No, I have not had any problems with my v@ginal mesh implants.

And no, this is not a testimonial.
SSH Problems
OK, so I’ve upgraded my laptop to Fedora 15, and want to restore the backup, but I can’t ssh into it. Here’s what happens:
[simberg@linux-host ~]$ ping 192.168.0.105
PING 192.168.0.105 (192.168.0.105) 56(84) bytes of data.

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.105 port 22: No route to host
[simberg@linux-host ~]$
So I can ping it, but it won’t connect. I’ve installed opensshd on the laptop, I’ve enabled it, and the firewall has port 22 open. I can also ssh into it from a terminal on the machine (e.g., ssh localhost or ssh 192.168.0.105), but not from another computer on the network. Any ideas?
Ethernet Bleg
So I’m backing up my laptop in preparation for an upgrade from Fedora 13 to 15, and I notice that the data transfer speed is only about half a meg per second. Here is the output of ‘ethtool eth0’:

On The Road Again
I’m on a bus to St. Louis, then on a plane to LA. I’ll check in tonight.
Fedora Bleg
I haven’t updated my laptop for a while, and when I attempt to do so, after conflict resolution, and download request, I get the following message: Continue reading Fedora Bleg

We’re driving down to Missouri tomorrow from Michigan. I’ll check in on Wednesday.
Relatively Dry, And Unelectrocuted
Those of you who follow college football may be interested to know that we attended the game today in Ann Arbor. We actually had good seats, up high under the roof line, out of the sun, so the weather was tolerable. We didn’t actually get wet until we evacuated the stadium the second time. It was a memorable game. And despite the score, the team still has a lot to work on.
