RebelZero.com

I decided that RebelZero.com was just about the best place for me in which to move my Linux oriented posts. Using a content management system, Drupal, I hope to learn how to organize it all in some manner that’s easy to read and use. It’ll be a slow process for me to move everything, but it shall be done.

Askew As Can Be

Apparently this blog has become more about Linux than I’m comfortable with. The original focus was supposed to be about me personally for friends, co-workers, and family. Linux has become an important part of my life, but this blog wasn’t meant to be the soapbox for me to preach about it.

With that in mind, I’ll be moving the focus back away from Linux, move the posts I have already to another location, and move on to current events. I’m fully aware that moving information from location to location can really screw with the online community in regards to linked content and search engine results. I’ll try to provide static “markers” to link away to new locations where possible.

I’m looking at using Drupal for the content management. I’ve played around with it in the past and was pleased at the time. There’s been some significant improvements and changes since then that I’ll have to familiarize myself with, but that’s all part of the fun. I’ve got a number of URLs to choose from and I’m leaning towards my most recently acquired RebelZero.com for my Linux soapboxing.

It was a trying week at the fulltime job and I’m looking forward to putting my brain power to work for myself this weekend. Until next time….

I Don’t Do Windows

It’s been longer than I can recall. While looking at a calendar, I couldn’t point to a date when I last used it. It’s roughly the same amount of time that’s passed since I lasted played a game off of the Steam client. I can now officially proclaim that I have kicked the Microsoft habit.

I was going to go into a whole MS vs. Linux debate with witty metaphors and sarcasm, but it was getting too long-winded. To keep it short…

I guess you need to cut through the marketing campaigns and the legal mumbo-jumbo to see that there are other alternatives out there. They might not always be better. But I can no longer justify paying big bucks for Vista, which has it’s own broken areas, when I can I use Linux everywhere for just about everything for zero dollars.
