Rants – It's MOSS

Help Wanted

The three of us have gotten too busy to keep writing all the time. For instance, we didn’t even finish last year’s Distro Madness and it’s time for yet another. (Part of the blame for that is due to having had troubles getting mintCast published on time, with editor issues, so we didn’t have an […]

My Year In Linux / Moss

Favourite Distribution(s): Always Bodhi, but I’m getting to like ArcoLinux Mate. Gotta keep Mint around in case something needs to get done that I am having trouble with.

Machines, raining.

My main computer got shorted out accidentally, and while I was waiting for a replacement power supply, I got donated two other machines. One is a quad-core Xeon HP Z400 Workstation, and I’ve got that working now. I needed some help with that. Another is an older HP tower, and that one will not turn […]

It’s raining computers

A lot of my readers and listeners know how broke I am. I’ve never managed to talk a computer-based employer into giving me a job, despite my decades of personal experience. I’m currently unemployed, although that could break at any minute as I have three solid prospects (Sep 6 2020). Two weeks ago, my hand […]
