Facebook Photo Uploader in Fedora 16

Running Fedora 16 PAE with Firefox 9 and the Adobe Flash plugin, I found that the facebook photo uploader control was not working. The flash plugin itself seemed fine, but just didn't want to work with facebook. I found that the solution was to remove nspluginwrapper. After that it worked like a charm.


Then and Now

I was listening to the CBC this morning and realizing that no-one is going to wax poetically about video-game hockey like they do for the old slot-hockey tables.


The stars died so that you could be here today.

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time.
