In our sector of the globe
Submitted by drlizau on Sun, 09/17/2006 - 05:51.Just to remind you all, Mepis never sleeps, because some of us are positioned at different places around the globe.
In this sector, winter is just finished. We still need rain - about 5 years worth will do fine for starters.

My Linux Learning Journey
Submitted by drlizau on Mon, 06/12/2006 - 22:29.I thought that readers might appreciate a commentary on how I got to be here. I'm not a computer professional, nor am I a young nerd.
The first new learning away from my day job was getting an amateur radio licence, in the early 1980s. Our household formed in the mid 80s and the groom brought a TRS-80 in which I had a little interest. Then later we bought a Vic-20, as the bigger Commodore stuff was too expensive for us. The Vic-20 had games and programming information, which I muddled around with, but didn't get anywhere with. The games were fun as the old TV we used had a constant vertical roll, adding a lot of difficulty to a simple maze game.
