I’ve been playing with my Ultra 5 Workstations again. I decided that with a bit more memory and a current linux current and Gnome or KDE that they would make nice introductory/development machines for my kids.

New hosting services

Up until his blog entry which [...]

So far I’m very impressed with basecamp. I just signed up for their Plus plan which adds Time Tracking to the system, and at $49.00 a month I can’t spend the [...]
