Ubuntu 11.10: Word on the Street
October 15th, 2011
Ubuntu 11.10 is out and has been "in the wild" for a couple days now. (Yes, I'm a master of stating the obvious.) One of the highlights (for me) of an Ubuntu release is watching and analyzing what the non-Ubuntu online media is saying. I love to see whether buzz is increasing and whether the ...
Promoting Ubuntu
August 4th, 2011
I haven't done a post on Ubuntu in ages, which leaves me feeling a bit guilty! My current computer is hobbling along on it's last legs...supposedly I have a new computer on the way, I'm pretty excited to get it as it is made with Ubuntu in mind, and is my first new computer since I got my first comp ...
A Favorite Community Blog Tool
February 5th, 2011
Although I have been blogging since 2006, I have been a little late to the linky game. Last year I finally figured it out and started joining some of the wonderful bloghops (or blog carnivals) that have sprung up all over the internet.

March 24th, 2010
This interview is from The Agora's March 2010 issue. The interview was done by Ryan from The Agora, interviewing Randall Ross, the Vancouver Ubuntu's 'buzz generator'. I think it answers the sort of questions many of us have when we hear "Ubuntu, Ubuntu..." Ubuntu is an amazing, flexible tool which ...
Making Connections
March 20th, 2010
I was just reading a great interview with our local Ubuntu community's 'buzz' generator, Randall Ross and The Agora National (I will post it later), and it got me thinking about making mistakes. We've all grown up in a world where mistakes are a big deal. In the world we live in now, you can make a ...
Ubuntu = No More Student Debt?
February 10th, 2010
I consider myself extremely fortunate to be living in Vancouver, BC for many reasons, but one of the main ones is the extremely active Ubuntu group here. Some of you may have noticed in my last post about Ubuntu that after I installed the latest release called Karmic Koala, I immediately got a warni ...
Using Open Source Ubuntu
July 22nd, 2009
Fire in the Fennel Stalk When I first heard of open-source I couldn't believe my ears, the whole concept thrills me to bits. It is very timely, and similar to the myth of Prometheus when he stole fire from the gods, and brought it down for mankind in a fennel stalk. This time the tool of assistan ...
