May 29, 2010

For the last couple of Ubuntu releases I’ve been running the full desktop edition on my netbook (Acer Aspire 1).  These have run fairly well, and I’ve even had Compiz configured to run the cube and other eye-candy such as wobbly windows – although this may in part be due to its slightly upgraded spec [...]

What kind of party you ask? Well, it involves beer, linux, geeks and a koala. Yes, I can see you’re tempted by that koala, and rightly so!

September 28, 2009

From Jono Bacon’s Blog
Since I released The Art of Community, one thing has become evident: the people who are buying it are awesome. If you have bought it you are awesome. If you have not, you too can be awesome.
