The Maryland Ubuntu Loco Team had our first meeting. It went better than I was hoping for. An excellent turnout and lots of good ideas came of it. I can’t wait for the next meeting. It’s amazing how time marches on. The last few years I haven’t been to the Maryland HamFest on a Saturday. […]
Painful. That’s the best word to describe the order that I just put in with the BarnesandNoble.com site. It started out simple enough. I selected a few items that I wanted. Went to the checkout and could not remember the email/password combonation that I had given them. So I poked around for a way to […]
