Tried it. The Linux-based firmware updater is apparently incompatible with Fedora, but they neglected to say anywhere on their website that it was, say, Ubuntu only >_<

Say what now?  Why the hell? o.O

Okay... okay... have you tried using a program called alien?  You'll definitely want to check the dependencies before trying to install the program with that, but I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a system-agnostic version of the program :/.  I'd explore all avenues before attempting to convert the program with the program I mentioned earlier.

Probably gonna go to Christmas Eve service at the Congregational church then out to dinner at the Thai place, aka our Christmas Eve tradition for the last few years.

I have to go out soon and get the fixings for Christmas dinner, too.

@Dan: Well, that's just my guess as to what went wrong. The file is there, but it will not run it; double clicking the icon does nothing, attempting to run it in terminal gave a "bad command or file name" error...but the point is moot now, as I'd have to reinstall Fedora. I don't feel like going into more details, except I'm just going to buy a new drive for 2k.

@Bella: Sounds nice ^_^
I'm going to start working on the mac & cheese soon, hoping it doesn't burst into flames; given how things have gone today...

Tropped to my pa's parents in morning, ate, discussed the history of medieval Romania, trekked back home, ate, watched the ritualistically repeated bunch of cartoons airing every Eve, did dishes, slept a bit, ACQUIRED OFFERINGS.

The important parts:

1634: The Ram Rebellion by Eric Flint (TIMESKIPPING WVIRGINIANS LANDING IN THE 30 YEARS WAR? BEST SCIFI SERIES EVER)
an ice cream machine (FUCKING YES)
Two pairs of sweeto pants
DEBT REDUCTION (lolollol)
a WHOLE DAY OF OFF-PIST SKIING AT THE PEAKS OF CHAMONIX (apply glasses here)

But to top it off, my sister who's been in Malaysia has visited a tailor...

So, I have some of my gifts now. Here's what I got from my parents:

- A tin of Spam mints (xD)
- A Russel Stover chocolate bar (Nice ^_^)

I just noticed Jurassic Park was powered by Apple Mac Quadra 700s running System 7.  But it was supposed to be a Unix system...

I noticed that years ago. : p

Well, I remember noticing in the Doctor Who episode, Forest of the Dead, the Doctor is using an Apple Wireless Keyboard in one scene.

The episode is set in the 51st century, with a keyboard built in the early 21st. Built to last
