Holy smokes, I just read the best news ever!
The Dead, which consists of all of the original Grateful Dead members, except the beloved Jerry Garcia, are going to be on tour. May 5 they will be in Chicago and I will be there! Kevin and the rest of the Chicago GLUG, lets order our tickets now!
Wanted to get this out quickly as the weekend draws near. On Saturday, January 3, 2009, I will be giving a brief introduction on the upcoming Ubuntu Global Bug Jam that will take place towards the end of February.
Off hand, I will probably give a quick talk about:
If you are interested in participating in the Global Bug Jam next month, come on out Saturday to the Chicago GNU/Linux Users Group meeting. Typically the talks are awesome, the beer is flowing, and afterwards we head to dinner.
Back in the day, way back in the day, I was a huge rxvt and aterm fan. Tonight, while being bored, I fired up my old Debian Potato desktop (ahh the good ‘ol days), and started playing around. I have to admit, even though KDE was ancient, and my setup was old, it still looked good. With the PC being an old Pentium 133 with a whopping 64MB of RAM, and no Internet connection, there was no way I was going to play around with trying to get a screen shot. So after some tweaking this is what I got so far:
Not to shabby. I must admit, I like this old look and will keep it for a while and see if it wears thin on me or not.

My name is Richard A. Johnson. I am a professional developer, as well as an open source enthusiast, advocate, and author. I spend any free time I can get cycling.
Back in 1994 I was introduced to the world of open source software by installing Linux on a PC I had purchased from the Navy Exchange. At that time I had no idea what I was going up against, but never once did I let myself get frustrated, as Windows had already done that to me. Since then, I have completely immersed myself into the open source world and have been an active contributor.
