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!

    I’ve tried in the past to do daily blog posts, or posts about individual sessions, at ILTA, only to get sidetracked by the avalanche of things to do rather than sit and write in previous years. So, while I’m writing up thoughts about conference from today, I’m not making any promises that will continue to…

    Haven’t had much time to look over the tech or blog news today. Have a hard drive being flaky on me again. I got it running long enough to make a backup of the email and favorites for this person, but still have a replacement coming in overnight. There’s no sense waiting for this thing…

    There’s a new channel9 video covering some of the new security features and what the user experience is going to be like. By the way, I agree with what Scott says about it. It is going to be harder for casual end users, because they are going to be expected to think. I have been…

    Just some things I have questions about, that I’m hoping maybe some of my readers might have some information on. Warning, some of them may be obvious, I’m just having trouble finding the obvious solution! – Why does Gmail sometimes take two attachments that I send with an email and mash them into one DAT…
