I’m not sure how the hell my heart monitor registered I was running at 210BPM when I wasn’t even sprinting. For the first 8 or so minutes of this run I was fiddling with my monitor trying to seat it properly as a result of the OTT BPM.

Some of you may have seen this, or a variant of this this, but this video shows all earthquakes around Japan for 2011 by size, depth and location. Watch what happens around March…..

Debian

I’ve finished copying my files over onto my Debian installation and I just now need to reconfigure everything. My Fitbit is now syncing in Debian happily. BOINC is installed (but not configured) and I’ve installed LXDE so I can take off KDE.

And DRM finally works!

Ōkami

Whilst browsing Pinterest, I found this. It’s a Blender rendering of Amaterasu from the game Ōkami. With the introduction of the Freestyle rendering in Blender, I suspect we’ll see similar artwork explode onto the CG scene pretty soon.

Debian

I managed to install Debian again today. This time I used my DVDs which meant I didn’t actually have to download anything off the repositories which could run into the problems mentioned in my previous posts here and here.

And, I was able to install extra software in the same way, including KDE, and again, without having to download from repos. Finally, I used netmirror-apt to update my sources list with the fastest repositories to me.

I still need to copy across my files, and run some configuration, but I should be back onto Debian within the next week or so.

I’m back on Fedora at the moment, with my Debian install backed up as a CloneZilla image.
