- A (Free) webcomic about Fedora, Linux, computers, life and stuff. By nicu.

Distro wars

Another week-end spent out, shooting people... I liked the expression on the face of this arm wrester so much, that I couldn't resist messing with it in Inkscape. Enjoy a bit of Sunday fun:

PS: of course, after the competition they shook hands and maybe had a beer together.

Fedora Webcomic, F13 Special: Hyperspace

Does anyone around here remember I promised months ago the conclusion of a 3-part comic around Fedora? Remember Goddard, the first part? Or The Red Shirt, the second part? Now , minutes away from the official release, we'll jump into hyperspace and conclude the story.

Honestly, the real surprise is not on this blog, where I try to keep the prudes under control, but on my un-aggregated photography blog I can go wild and challenge everything. And hate groups can try to googlebomb me as much as they want, more traffic is a plus.

Fedora Webcomic, F13 Beta Special: The Red Shirt

Those that followed my riddle know I had prepared in advance a comic for Fedora 13 Beta release, so later today is the Beta day and is the time for a webcomic special.
There are ups and downs of having the content prepared in advance, the good part about it is that at times when your geek activity is unpredictable (duh! niche not covered in the study) you have at least something to put out. On the other hand, if the content was made too much on advance, it may become obsolete, and let me know what happened here: I am pretty sure someone from the Ubuntu camp decyphered my riddle and that was all the reason of their rebranding from brown to orange, to escape my joke. Well, it looks like I still had the last word with the ability to alter the final punchline!

Do not forget the third part, "is about jumping to light-speed"! Is up and with an URL ready to be guessed.

Fedora Webcomic, F13 Alpha Special: Goddard

Very few followed my riddle and to my knowledge nobody guessed the answer, but the time has come for the first part of the trilogy, today the day for the Fedora 13 Alpha release.

It was not hard at all, the riddle was "the first one is titled just like a name" and its answer "Goddard", as in the rocket scientist and the F13 codename. The next one, "is about trekish cannon-fodder" is slightly harder, but still trivial for any respectable geek.

Now gotta run, I have a localised announcement to write...

Riddle

You have an old addiction and somehow manage to get cured of it but then you cave to peer pressure and regress once... Then the addiction is all over again, you try to abstain as hard as you can and only draw a trilogy of "special editions" to go along with milestones in a nearby event/release/happening.

After drawing them, the normal thing to you is to upload them in the target web space, waiting the right time for publishing and have use the minimal effort when publishing. But all the fun is sharing them, so you are itching for sharing them with the world, having to wait a couple of weeks for the first, one month and a half for the second and beginning of May for the finale is a pain.

So I devised a riddle for those really interested in the topic: the files are in the usual place, with very obvious names. If you can guess the names, you can see the files. Here are the hints for guessing the names:

• the first one is titled just like a name
• the second one is about trekish cannon-fodder
• the third one is about jumping to light-speed

I hope I didn't destroy the surprise, ruin the punch lines or give away too much of the stories with this riddle. And still thinking (suggestions welcome) for a prize to the first one solving the riddle.
