First Week of Work and School
As the first week of work and school comes to an end, I realized that this 100 days to offload is harder than predicted. I partly blame that I got the traditional going-back-to-work cold, but I guess I also have less time to spend on fun stuff like writing.
This week has been about cleaning up.
I’ve started to clean-up my backlog of foss-north video recordings. I’ve got some 12GB of videos rendered, and I’m not even halfway. For next year we really need to do something about the audio recording situation, but it is what it is and it will have to do.

That said, Linux is the operating system that powers Android, which is one of the most popular platforms around. There are other benefits to using Linux, too. It’s pretty secure, reliable and free to install.
