Working from home
Even over dialup, working from home is more than bearable. Terminal services (which is how I do 99.9% of my job aside from email and IM) makes for a nice working environment. Using ADSL would be even nicer (having a 1500/256 link would be good for that) but various things are causing that to be slow coming down the pipeline
Interesting distribution I stumbled on while doing the daily wander around the web - whiteboxlinux. It is a distro which intends to replace redhat rhel for the rest of us (ie those who can’t/don’t want to pay the costs associated with standard RHEL).
I also finally decided to subscribe to Linux Weekly News - considering I visit their site at least 6-7 times a week and have done for a number of years, I should at least put something back into all the work they have done.
And, in other news, kernel 2.6 has made it into sid (debian unstable). So I will be rebooting shortly to try that out.
Suffering a bit from the “summer” flu going around at the moment - cough, splutter, whinge. Not a lot of fun really, and the reason why I am working from home. Not nice to subject everyone else to my continuous moans and coughs…
John from monkeyc.net continues on his posting storm - sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Nice site design and some interesting commentary (far better than my own rather twisted TLA laden stuff
).
