If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!My eldest son and daughter went job hunting together yesterday, and as these things sometimes go, they ran late.

It’s only noon, and so far I have slept through my alarm, unplugged the toilet, dealt with 2 router lockups, discovered that we are almost out of coffee and to top it all off had to fix the PC’s sound system. I’ve only been working for two hours!

Through a series of events and circumstances that I am not going to pretend to understand, I was contacted by Rena requesting an interview with moi… she specifically wanted to interview me about my experiences and involvement with Blogcatalog. I found this rather curious,as I am not what you might call a BC power user. [...]

As you may be aware, Walmart sells PC’s with Linux as the operating system through their online store. The specific distro is called gOS, or Good OS.
