Wow, what a trip. Allan and I drove to SC from my place in PA in the middle of the night, which took up 10 hours. It was a nice drive compared to last year where it was foggy and rainy the whole ride there. The conference was great. It was 2 days long, and, […]
How do you know that Linux is becoming main stream? You start running into it in the strangest places. I just took my kid out to get some food at a BBQ place that I have passed several times. The place is called Jimmy’s BBQ in Malvern, PA. Man oh man, this place has got […]

Well, here it is, National Blog Posting Month again. I have decided to accept the challenge. I do, however,think that I am setting myself up for failure. Just curious as to how long that is going to take. 🙂 Do stay tuned, though, as I will attempt to interject a few interesting things, if possible, […]
Some of you might remember that I used to run GnuMP3d as my home music server of choice. While this is still a great choice, after my recent new server install, I had an interesting choice to make.
