Ubuntu

i was listening to the Solder smoke podcast and heard him talk about a version of linux called ubuntu. The really neat thing is that you can put it on a flashdrive and make it into a portable os. Kinda cool. You might wonder why I am putting this into a dx blog but i figure with so much being on th einternet and so many computer programs to help with the shack, then having access to linux could be very handy especially since it was a fairly easy install. I aam an absolute newb to ubuntu and linux but I am now on an adventure to learn how this system can help out in general and for my shack. Stay tuned for more.

Solder Smoke Blog

I have mention the solder smoke podcast website before. The host of that podcast has set up a blog to heolp support the podcast. It is here. Check it out, it has some interest information.

Propagating Information

This may not necessarily belong in this blog but I think it might since it does deal with the spreading of information with technology. My wife broke her leg and I used email, blog and links to forums I hang out to spread the news. I also use statcounter.com to track the hits. It was interesting to see how this spreading of information affected that stats of the blog. I think it was a success in sharing information in a hurry just by the stats I was seeing. I should enquer how people liked this method of information sharing. In any case, the nerd in me found this fascinating.
