Linux

It seems that my latest webcam pic, which was taken after a successful install of Red Hat 7.1 as a “play and learn” installation, has gotten the attention of non other than Lockergnome’s head Penguin himself, Tony Steidler-Dennison. Like I said in Tony’s comments, I’m still getting paid to be a Windows guy but what’s life without a little variety? 🙂

Heck now that Angela has got a Mac in the house and I’ve got Red Hat installed on a partition of my Win98 machine we officially have 3 different flavors of Windows, and 2 non-Windows OS’s running in our house. (Yeah there’s only two of us, does that make us OS hogs? *L*) So there are plenty of learning opportunities right in my own home! (That doesn’t include the NT Server and XP Pro I have at work to learn with as well!)

Oh, and as far as Tony’s comment on his own post, just keep writing the newsletter dude, that’s been a source of help already!

  • Governance Can’t Keep Up With AI

    So I ask again: why are we listening to the people who have the most to gain by getting everyone to buy AI tools, instead of making our own decisions about how quickly we should move forward with AI? Governance exists to slow things down – forcing people to think before they run off and do something disastrous. 

    Should we design better governance to address rapidly changing technology? Absolutely. Should we let Big Tech determine how we redesign it? I don’t think so.

    Looks like Blogger switched me over to their new system this evening. I am now checking to make sure everything works, please let me know if you find something that doesn’t! Update: Looks like comments work, BloggerPro set my defaults to Pacific Time and to not publish the RSS feed, so if you’ve been switched…

  • More tech woes

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yesterday was almost an entire day trudging through the world of faulty DNS records, broken telephone cords, unexplained inability to dial outside, which just as suddenly started working again, a lost internet connection that kept me from updating our website database, and various other semi-emergencies. I was so busy putting out fires that when 3PM…
