The main thing that Is Frustrating about Linux
For about 2 days now I have been obsessed with getting Amarok 1.1 to work. I have tried the Suse RPM and the ./configure,make,make install way.
I cant seem to get YAST to give me the RPMs as an option to install. The one thing I haven't tried is a command line RPM install, I'm not sure of the command to use. I did install the KDE3.3 via command line RPM but I found the exact command to use on the net.
I was able to ./configure,make,make install but, I can not find the shell script or exe to start the program. I even did a search for it.
So the quest continues...
Gigglebery Birthday
Wow, if you are young in heart (and body) and you have some money and a child having a birthday, I would highly recomend Gigglebery Fields. This place is fun. It has a 3 story 6 level obstical course. The kids can run full speed through while the adults have to hunch and dive through little holes and climb stuff and "man I never got enough of the climbing things at Sesame Place and Chucky Cheese type stuff. And to add to the frenzy the bottom level has thousands of foam balls that you can vacumm up and head up to the 2nd level wear there are blasters to load them in and shoot them around.....Uhmm, Gryphon had fun too :o)
We played some games that You can win tickets on and Sarah pulled some muscles DDRing at 8 months pregnent.
Sudie and Gary brought Lunch and we ate outside. Gary was kind enough to bring an Extra Beer! :oP
We got home and there were messages on the answering machine with birthday wishes for G. My parents came over and brought Pizza for us. We opened presents and ate the ocean scene cake that sarah made. G loved the Kids dinosaur excavation kit. It should keep him working for a week or so.
Skate Stuff
Sunday after school found us going to my parents house for a Tastefully simple party. I was able to get away to the UP Skatepark. It was very busy and I slamed hard once which stoked my little fear factor for the reast of the day. It was really croweded also with lots of little kids too. Nt that the little kids should not be able to skate its just that they need some direction so that they don't just stand in what little flow the park has. It was fun none the less. the park is starting to show signs of wear and tear.
Speaking of parks--
I went to the brand new Radnor park today at lunch. it's as bad as I thought from my last post. The mini-ramp is fine. It's not hard to screw up. I wouldn't mind it being a little lower but I'll get over that. It's the fun box, or "Box of Terror" as I would refer to it that not right for the park. It looks like a piece that would go in the middle of ohter pieces of a large skatepark set up. From the bank that hips up to the mini you can only hit the middle of box, which is a bank with two grind boxes and stairs and hand railing on the other side. If they would have at least exchanged the steps for another bank it would give you a chance to ollie over the box. On either side of the ledges there are banks that are about a foot and a half wide and you cant hit them from the bank. They should have gotten a smaller fun box and put a bank or a quarter pipe on the other side of that so that you could work the park... Well the mini should be fun, they have some rails, picnic table, and a grind box to use also. And there is really no place for the younger kids to learn. the thing in the middle is dangerous for everyone...
Fire Drill!!!
I was talking to Sarah and our Fire drill went off here at work. I grabed my stuff and headed out. it turns out that it was a mechanical failure in the water pressure something or other.
