My Fedora Experiment Has Ended

September 3, 2025 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

I used Fedora KDE for a few days, and it seemed that it was a little buggy. There was an issue with integrating Google Mail, calendar, and drive with it seamlessly. Linux Mint, my long-time distribution, does all of that without a problem. I am using the Cinnamon desktop variation, and it’s well-equipped and feature rich.

I am glad to be back with something I feel comfortable with and has an old school feel about it. Experimenting with something new is always a good thing to do to flex your mind and muscles. Linux Mint is going to release distribution upgrade soon.

Getting Older And Getting A Discount

August 23, 2025 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

I appreciate a discount like anyone. Money is tight for everyone. However, being reminded you are getting older and because of that you get a discount on phone service can be a reality that isn’t fun to face.

We got this in the mail from T-Mobile, and they want us to come back as customers. They highlighted the fact that I am eligible for some age-related discounts now. That depresses me a little.

Next Friday, I am turning 56, and I am a member of Generation-X. However, I have the sense of humor of a 15-year-old, the attitude of someone a little younger, but my body feels like someone in their mid 50s. It’s good to have a youthful spirit about you.

Our current phone provider serves us well. We won’t be making a change. However, I guess getting these discounts can be beneficial, just don’t want to be reminded I am getting older for reasons.

Remember the good ole days when we all could agree that slave owners, nazis and predators are the bad guys? I do and apparently some don’t.

Something About The Land

August 12, 2025 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

In my trip to Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Alberta and British Columbia, I discovered that indigenous reservations and national parks should be defended and protected from any change. They are ancient lands that deserve to be preserved from harm and should never be taken from the people and wildlife who call it home because they have had enough taken from them.

Blaugust 2025 and My Vacation

August 11, 2025 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

I am using my vacation posts to contribute to the Blaugust happening on WordPress. I have tagged my posts about Montana, Wyoming, Alberta and other places under “Blaugust” and “Blaugust2025”. Likewise, I thought this would be a great celebration of this annual blogging event. I hope you enjoy the tour of the west here.
