Adding to the existing hype about LoCo Docs on March 3rd, I also would like to extend the excitement, US Teams style. The LoCo US Teams Project is also looking to enhance the documentation on the wiki. For us (referring to those mentoring on US Teams), documentation is a big deal. We really want to [...]
I have 3 meetings, each about 2 hours a piece today. What a day! Here’s my schedule (all times are UTC): 17:00-19:00: Meeting with my group OALUG about security using GnuPG. I am presenting. 19:00-21:00: Meeting with the Ubuntu-Utah group in #ubuntu-utah on IRC. I am helping conduct by aiding Christer, our Team Lead. 21:00-23:00: [...]
The great thing about working for a Linux shop, and the fact that there are only 3 employees, is the interest in using any Linux distribution as workstations. A couple days ago, a conversation erupted in IRC about Gentoo. It was a decent conversation, and I was sharing it with my coworker. He, being mainly [...]
One of the things that I hate about instant messaging clients is the lack of adherence to standards. In fact, the specification that I think should be adhered to the most, isn’t. I’ve blogged about this before, so I apologize to the planets that I am syndicated to in advance for duplicating content. However, due [...]
Yesterday, I provided a problem about how to use my GnuPG key regardless of my location. In reality, there are only 3 computers that I sit at: Hercules, my laptop, and my main companion; Zeus, my “other” desktop, that is actually far more powerful than Hercules, but my wife is always on it with Windows [...]
I ran into a problem. I need to have GnuPG wherever I am, mainly due to the fact that I need to digitally sign my email wherever I go. I need my GPG key with me. However, I do not want to install my GPG key on every PC I work on (work, school, etc.). [...]
So far, during the past two months that the US Teams Project has started, we have seen some pretty decent success. First off, let me cover a little bit about the goals and aspirations of the project as well as a few fundamentals. Guidance, not governance. The US Teams Project is not another Ubuntu LoCo [...]

If you aren’t aware of the recent scare in the industry, you should take a look. Below are two images that are hyperlinked to their appropriate sites, both with a single focus- to protect your freedoms. Each have their separate campaigns. I would encourage you to sign up at both sites. Vista is bad news. [...]
Can Microsoft develop a browser that doesn’t frustrate their own internal web developers when developing Microsoft web applications and sites? If no: then Internet Explorer is not the browser to be designing sites for, but, instead, developing for standards compliance browsers like Firefox, Konqueror and Safari. If yes: then why haven’t they improved the browser [...]
So, I’m in Colorado in the hotel lobby just after the meeting with the Colorado Team and Malcolm Yates. Christer and I are trying to get online with the free wireless provided by the hotel. All I want to do is check my email and IRC messages. I can’t connect. However, Christer connects just fine, [...]
Series two, in a string if posts about SSH is sshfs. For those unaware, sshfs provides the ability to mount a remote SSH server as though it was a local device on your machine. But first, let me show you how to browse a SSH remote system using a GUI on the Gnome desktop. If [...]
This is going to be old hat for some, but I know there are those who can benefit from it, so I’ll post a brief tutorial here. This post is to extend upon the post published by Christer on Ubuntu Tutorials. There is a lot of software on the Linux system that I take for [...]
Last week, we received some new hardware for our office (we move in to our little office, hopefully, today). Mainly, Dell workstations. Aside from the technical aspects, and the fact that these machines scream, the best part about yesterday was installing Debian GNU/Linux on them (Ubuntu wouldn’t install (yes, I was surprised too)). There’s something [...]
