Grady’s Gone

Earlier today I posted that Grady Little could see his days as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers ending very soon. The Dodgers have announced that he has decided to resign.

Is Ubuntu killing hard drives?

It’s been suggested that laptop hard drives are failing sooner due to either the way Ubuntu accesses them, poor settings in the BIOS, or some other reason.

Is Grady Little on the way out?

Before the last out of the season (make that the last series) fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers have been asking, nay demanding that Grady Little be shown the door, even though he has another year left on his contract.  Frank McCourt, the co-owner of the Dodgers, steadfastly  voiced his support for Little. Even after the front office took two weeks off, McCourt has said Little was his man and he supports his mix of young players and veterans, despite the  very public  tension it has caused in the clubhouse.

But then Joe Torre told the Yankee “thanks, but no thanks” to a new contract and rumors have started swirling. Could Spring Training find a new skipper at the Dodgers’ helm after all?

New tees coming soon

Need Ubuntu tutorials? We’ve got some

I’ve been asked to pass along an excellent resource for Ubuntu users old and new alike. I’ve used it myself, and I’m pretty sure I’ve linked to some of them, but I want to make sure you guys know it’s out there.

Why I won’t read InfoWorld anymore as a professional publication

Earlier this week I saw an article in my Google News listings called Why Ubuntu (Still) Sucks, and as someone who helped test Ubuntu Gutsy I had to see why the author hated it. After reading a few installments in the series I thought it was simply the most unprofessional, under researched piece of Microsoft shilling that I had ever seen in a professional publication. Then I got to the final article in the series and realized it was worse than that. It was all a big joke on Ubuntu users.

My store is now selling music, too

My store in SecondLife, Nanci’s Naughties, has long sold tees for men and women. But now you can get music there, too.

We have wallpapers!

As promised I have created my Moon wallpapers featuring me on the Free and Open Island in SecondLife with logos for Ubuntu, Debian and GNOME, and they’re now available for downloading in two sizes.
