Foggy Smoky Soft Light
I went for my ride late in the afternoon, just as a fairly thick blanket of fog was enveloping Lindsborg. I was especially enamored with the views of the Smoky Hill River. The light is so soft and delicate. These scenes remind me of old paintings. And of course there’s one image that has been…

Wobbly Windows not Wobbly?
If you’re running a current version of KDE (v4 as of this writing) and are having trouble getting Wobbly Windows to work this how to tip may help. It worked for me on CentOS 7 and KDE 4.10.5. It’s simple really. To immediately enable wobbly windows, simply enter the following command: KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin –graphicssystem raster…
Scenes from a Bike: Lindsborg Fall Colors
Here’s another take on fall colors, something different … These were spotted while riding my bike around Lindsborg on Thursday. In each case, I turned around in order to go back and take the shot, thinking that these were pretty nice looking flowers this late in the season.
Southwest of Lindsborg on a Bike
I missed the end of last week at work due to illness and a need to take care of some personal business. But mostly due to feeling pretty cruddy (that’s the technical term.) The morning got off to a good start, but then I started fading and not feeling well. I just don’t think I’m…
Meadowlark Trail, Early Fall
I rode down the Meadowlark Trail south of Lindsborg today and took a few photos along the way. The trail condition is mixed. The first mile is in great shape, and the new, fairly smooth surface that was laid earlier this year is a pleasure to ride on. The rocks in the next mile are…
Fall Colors Around Estes Park
We took a quick trip to Estes Park Colorado over the weekend. While some of the aspens had shed all of their leaves, for the most part there was plenty of fall color to be seen. In fact, it was down right beautiful! The promised bad weather Sunday didn’t materialize, which just gave us more…
Rose Hill View
Out for a late afternoon drive and stopped to take a few photos at Rose Hill, northeast of Lindsborg.
Who Can Stop What Must Arrive Now?
Something new is waiting to be born. That something is called the next phase of my life. I have a decision to make by October 10th. If I choose one way, everything will be different. If I choose another, things will likely change anyway (isn’t that the nature of life?) I’ve been offered a fairly…
CentOS 7 Minimal++ (Virtual) Setup
Introduction This note covers the setup of a CentOS 7 minimal image on a VMware Workstation host. Included are the steps to install a basic windowing system such as Xfce as well as how to install VMware tools. The minimal version of Centos is pretty incomplete; not even the networking works out of the box….
