I have to say, I am impressed with the newer versions of Ubuntu Linux and am excited to be moving off proprietary ... Full story

Wow, where did the past week go. Seems to be a common feeling for me now, weeks just fly by. Fortunately the earthquake in Chile last weekend didn’t eventuate into anything too much here in NZ. We had a few surges and lots of people ... Full story
