As I’m sure is the case with the rest of you (particularly if you use Twitter), I’ve been hearing more and more about the Iranian Election and the difficulties the people there are having in getting connectivity outside of the country.

I was taking a look at my blog stats the other day and realized that this post will make post number seven-hundred on this blog. Seven-hundred posts since February 2006. I can hardly believe it! This April also marks four years since I started using Ubuntu (the 5.04 release). I can’t believe how fast the [...]
Hopping on the current meme bandwagon here is a list of the things my daughter loves to do:
Read Books (Curious George, ftw!)
Climb the Stairs
Tickling
Tinkerbell
Watching everything outside (birds, cars, dogs, people, etc)

I realize it has been more than a month now since my last post. That is definitely the longest hiatus I’ve taken from blogging since the start of this site. Let me give you a heads up regarding recent events.
1) I recently started a new job here in Salt Lake. I am no longer a [...]
A few of you have emailed me to make sure I was still alive. I’m still here, I’ve just been terribly busy. I just finished six weeks of travel and teaching including OSCON. I’m ready to take a few days off and once I get some rest and settle back in I’ll have some more [...]
