Red Hat, Debian, Slackware SuSE, Turbo, Caldara, Mandrake: I’ve used them all at one time or another. And as each grows up a bit more, focuses change here and there, and my own tastes and needs change. I love them all, but, for the last couple of years Mandrake has been my flavor of choice [...]
Not much this evening. But what there is, is excellent. First is a review of David Frum’s new book on President Bush. I have heard Mr. Frum speak on some of what is in his book and about some of his personal experiences with the President. It is on my reading wish list, for sure. [...]

In my efforts to resolve the issue of the missing UPS packages I’m attempting to communicate with my neighbor, who is the owner of the felonious Labrador in question. While I’ve not yet gotten a one-on-one conversation the message he left on my machine this morning isn’t encouraging. I’ve known this neighbor for years (as [...]
A long time friend has emailed me to point out that his Father, a once prominent figure in local politics, has started a website for all of his editorial pieces. So drop by Tony’s site and see what he has to offer. Hendricks Henpecker – Anthony Guido
