Installed Fedora 11 tonight on laptop I got as a shell last week got parts from Ebay and other spots. Added mp3 licensing from repository along with flash and its humming along nicely wired & wireless.

Had to install with CD's though, for some reason couldn't boot DVD from Fedora 11 but could boot other previous versions of Fedora DVD's on this laptop. DVD's boot fine on other systems didn't want to update bios.

I got great help on installing & getting flash working in Fedora at this web site:

For mp3 support the commands at this site worked perfectly:

I did a decent LSD ( Long Slow Distance) run this morning of about 7.5 miles which took a little over an hour (62 minutes approximately)so I still have a ways to get in shape. I had my new "Saucony Grid Propel +" shoes.

Everything seemed ok except the shoes were a little tight but loosened up and were comfortable until the last mile and I felt a bit too much rubbing on the top of my left top foot over my small toe.

The rubbing on my toe could have been due to my sock on that foot was a bit bunched and to the side which I noticed before taking off but it didn't feel bad at the time.

I did an approximate time since my digital watch had the battery go out after only a few months of replacing it with a new battery. My next battery I will get one from an actual watch store instead of Walmart since my garage door opener battery I got from them also went out after only a few months.

Anyway it was time for me to try to get to the next levels on my run and I was due for an LSD which would help me get there. After doing an LSD my 4 mile run pace usually picks up quite a bit and then my next few LSD's the pace will pick up as well if I stick to the program!

I upgraded to Movabletype version 4.261 and then fixed the issue of why the feeds were not coming in on my home page from my other blogs in dhoytt.com.

The reason why the feeds were not showing up was due to me not setting up the "run-periodic-tasks" utility, which I setup to run in cron per the url "http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/administrator/setting-up-run-periodic-taskspl.html".
