Mounting your encrypted Dropbox and Google Drive Folders at Login Gnome 3 ( Fedora 21 )
After the Edward Snowden Revelations it's probably a bad idea to store your documents unencrypted in the cloud. Unless of course you have nothing to hide, no desire for privacy, and store nothing financially sensitive, and believe the US government is unswervingly...

Siem Reap
So just arrived in Siem Real after taking a 7 hour bus trip to cover 316kms. The roads between Phnom Penh and Siem Real were a mix of tar and dirt. I think in another few years the trip will take a lot less time once the roads are sealed. Our accommodation is lovely...
Cambodia – Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh wow. It's not as frenetic as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh. There aren't as many bikes and there is less warning honking going on. The ride from the airport cost 9$ for a tuk tuk or 12$ US for a cab. We took a cab and our friends took a tuk tuk and we both arrived...

I'm off on a 3 week lap of Asia. Taking along a Samsung GS4 with 1/3 of a day battery life so I don't think I'll be able to capture a full day of events. Although if I am judicious about starting early we might see photos of breakfast buffets... My wife is taking her...

Alternative to PDFtk under Fedora 21
I wanted to join multiple pdf files together. I usually have used pdftk but it has been retired. You can get a pdftk source rpm but it depends on gcj and several other packages that have been superseded in Fedora 21. So an alternative is needed... # install...
