Linux

It seems that my latest webcam pic, which was taken after a successful install of Red Hat 7.1 as a “play and learn” installation, has gotten the attention of non other than Lockergnome’s head Penguin himself, Tony Steidler-Dennison. Like I said in Tony’s comments, I’m still getting paid to be a Windows guy but what’s life without a little variety? 🙂

Heck now that Angela has got a Mac in the house and I’ve got Red Hat installed on a partition of my Win98 machine we officially have 3 different flavors of Windows, and 2 non-Windows OS’s running in our house. (Yeah there’s only two of us, does that make us OS hogs? *L*) So there are plenty of learning opportunities right in my own home! (That doesn’t include the NT Server and XP Pro I have at work to learn with as well!)

Oh, and as far as Tony’s comment on his own post, just keep writing the newsletter dude, that’s been a source of help already!

  • Excellent Customer Service, or Greasing the Squeaky Wheel?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    One of the things I’ve long wondered about bloggers writing about good service from a company is whether they got that service because the company really cares about taking care of it’s customers, or if they got that service because of who they are. A fine example came about last weekend when Louis Gray wrote…

    Warning, actual real-life criticism ahead. If you can’t handle it, back away from the computer slowly… OK, first off there’s Chris Pirillo and the flak he’s getting for charging for Gnometomes. I’m of two minds on this one. First, I understand what Chris is doing, he’s trying to bring in some money for Lockergnome while…

    Been such a busy morning that I just looked up and was amazed that it’s almost lunch time. Cool! I like those kinds of days! Of course, I have to spend my lunch bringing my new glasses back because the lens popped out yesterday, but oh well, it’ll be nice to get out of the…
