Almost done renovating the office.
A couple of weeks back my co-workers were heard complaining about the renovations on there cubes. While that was happening i was in the midgst of renovations in my office. I work from home as a remottee. I tend to spend alot of time in my office here, between work and Fedora. its been kinda ugly for quite some time. I replaced the windows last year which made it comfortable, before the new windows it would be extremely cold in winter and unbearabley hot in summer. This year i installed some box seating, with storage built in. a new hardwood floor and fixed the water damaged gyprock due to some shoddy roofing work done before I brought my house. I still need to finish the trim and fix some minor issues, I would like to do a bigger built in desk/bookshelf. That will be one of next years jobs.
The view to my desk
The view from my desk, The box seating needs trimming, and I need some staples to finish the seat cushioning.
I decided wednesday night i needed to get it painted for the weekend, so off i went to lowes to pick out a colour, im really happy with my choice. the no VOC paint was excellent no paint smell at all. I got the floor down on Friday, and put the finishing touches in on saturday. Followed by a 1st birthday party sunday for Macy. I am amazed daily what she has learnt and achieved in one year.
Now onto a busy week. Macy's and my birthday today, my 9 year wedding anniversary on Wednesday and heading to FUDCon on Friday.

fedora-cert
A few fedora-packager releases ago, i added a utility to fedora-packager called fedora-cert. its intended as a utility to check that your cert is good and download a new one when needed. Ive not touted it since the verification of certificates is incomplete. pyOpenSSL doesnt have CRL support so i cant check to see if your certificate is revoked or not (there is about 10 implementations upstream waiting to be decided upon). What does work is "fedora-cert -n" which will get you a new certificate and save it in place. you just then need to run fedora-packager-setup.
since lots of peoples certificates are about to expire i wanted to get work out there that this is an option for you. rather than downloading the cert from the browser and manually putting in place. Down the road I want to make this a library so that fedora-packager-setup will let you do everything in one step. but you can verify your cert manually and fedora-cvs can tell you that your certs has expired, been revoked or is about to expire. So please give it a whirl and report bugs.

Day one of FISL 10
Im once again at FISL in Porto Alegre, Brasil. I feel much more comfortable here this year. I understand some portugese but not alot and speak very little. Communications this year are better. Also in attendance are Fedora ambassadors from other parts of Latin America, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Mexico, and elsewhere im likely forgetting now. there is a mixture of English, Spanish and Brazillian Portugese.
its nice to see that Fedora makes the press in Latin Aerica
I gave my talk on spacewalk this morning. There was a good turn out. I had hoped for more questions. But i guess i either answerd them all, they did not have them at this point in time. or i just confused them all. Im hoping it was the first two options. I did have positive feedback.
