Linux

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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!

    Linked: How to Use RSS Feeds to Boost Your Productivity

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    RSS is not gone, quite the opposite. Most people, however, don’t use RSS subscriptions like they did in the old Google Reader days, but RSS is running underneath a whole lot of stuff that we all use every day.

    But, I also want to point out that there are a TON of good reasons to use an RSS reader now. Maybe more than there were when Google still had one. As it is, we’ve sort of grown into this habit of letting social media inform us. If there’s some topic we want to know about, we’ll follow some accounts and let the algorithm decide for us what we need to see.

    Look how well that’s working out.
