Introducing the new host of “The DistroWatch Weekly” podcast, Me!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as the new host of the “DistroWatch Weekly” podcast! Wow, what can I say!?! DistroWatch! Ever since I started using Linux I have made weekly trips to DistroWatch.com to check out distro rankings and read the latest news and now I am hosting their podcast! Somebody pinch me!

I would like to thank the former host, Jim Putman for all his help during the transition, Jim has certainly left impressive footsteps to follow in. Thank you to Ladislav Bodnar, owner of DistroWatch, for allowing me the privilege of continuing the podcast.

My first recorded episode is issue 257, 16 June 2008. Here you can subscribe to the mp3 feed or the ogg feed

Greetings to “The Techie Geek” listeners!

Well if you landed here because you heard me mention this blog on my podcast then I am very glad you’re here. I have wanted to update this blog for awhile, but until today (Father’s Day) I just really haven’t had the time to. Going forward I want to use this blog as a place where I will write down the issues, struggles, triumphs, and joys I encounter while working with Linux. By doing so I hope others who end up here may be able to benefit from my writing.

Also, I mentioned in the podcast that I have an old version of this blog here. I had said that I was having problems migrating the old posts from my free GoDaddy blog to my new WordPress blog. Well after some fooling around and some manual copy and pasting I think I have everything migrated over. In the process however I managed to delete the comment that Dan Borislow, the Inventor of the MagicJack had left on my old blog. Thankfully Google cached the comment, so the cached comment can be found here. Hopefully Dan will leave a new comment informing me that MagicJack is coming to Linux soon!
