Dissociated Press

My Linux Weekly News piece on Adobe Acrobat 7 for Linux has been MeFi’ed. It’s always kind of cool when I see an article I’ve written quoted in an unexpected place…

If you’re curious to see what I’ve been working on, keep an eye on http://del.icio.us/zonker/Articles. I keep meaning to post links to all of the articles I write for Linux Weekly News, UnixReview.com, my ZDNet blog and Linux Magazine, but it’s usually very low on the priority queue.

But I will make sure to add a bookmark using del.icio.us, so if you keep an eye on the del.icio.us feed, you’ll see what I’m working on. Always appreciate comments about articles and so forth, so drop me a note if you have a comment — or just use the TalkBack feature for the ZDNet blog.

It’s April 1st, which means it’s time for Google to make a few announcements relating to Gmail. Gmail was announced 1 year ago, which raised the question “is this an April Fool’s gag, or are they really going to give 1 GB of storage to people? That’s a whole lot of space…”

Google came through with the 1 GB, and now they’re planning to bump it to 2 GB. I’ve had a Gmail account for about six or seven months now, and I’m using… 47 MB. Granted, I tend to delete things and not all of my mail goes to Gmail, but I don’t see having 2 GB anytime soon… They’ve also announced “rich formatting” which I probably won’t be using since I have strong objections to HTML-ized email.
