Ohio at last

By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 9/29/2006
Got into Columbus last night for Ohio LinuxFest. I've been looking forward to this show for a long time, and it's finally here -- and should be a blast. This year's line-up of speakers is top-notch: Jon 'maddog' Hall, Jeff Waugh, Jorge Castro, Chris DiBona, Michael Johnson, Jay Pipes, Ted Haeger... the list goes on and [...]

Props to Konqueror

By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 9/6/2006
Just a quick note, the article I wrote a few weeks ago about Konqueror is up on Linux.com. Konqueror is a great browser, but it tends to be overlooked time and again -- so I thought it'd be a good idea to point out what a fantastic browser it is. It has a few warts [...]

By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 9/5/2006
Yes, that's right. Ohio LinuxFest will have live nude penguins in addition to the fine lineup of speakers that we have scheduled. If you live within driving distance of Columbus, Ohio, I'd recommend registering for the conference and making plans to be at the Ohio LinuxFest this year. The event takes place on Saturday, September 30, [...]
