This weekend I was a computer doctor for a friend’s computer. The hardware was, to say the least, non-standard. We upgraded his Linux OS to Fedora Core 3. This broke his X-windows. The firewall he had set up kept spewing messages to the console. This made typing impossible to read. He didn’t have secure shell installed. After three hours of upgrading his OS and futile attempts to fix X we called it a night. I hate to say it but he’d probably be better off with a re-format and an install of Fedora Core 4, the latest version available.

Saturday night I went to BB’s Jazz Blues and Soups with a friend. We had dinner. I had excellent red beans and rice. She had two large whiting. The food was excellent. It was nice to sit and listen to some blues afterward. If you are looking for a place to dine in St Louis, I recommend BBs.
