Christmas Break?
Servers not working. Installation attempt number 17 in progress. School resuming soon. Not a SINGLE computer in the district working. Uh… when is spring break coming?
Did You Get a Geeky Gift? Win a T-Shirt!
Following my review of the Penguin Pooper, Carlie Fairchild, the publisher over at Linux Journal, started a review contest.
