Yesterday I wrote an article that explained that I'd been searching for the Out Of The Box Linux for over a year to give to people as a Working OS cd to replace their gacked Windows OS. I'd been pushing Linux Mint for quite awhile for windows users because it used to do exactly what they wanted. Now it doesn't. And being a child of Ubuntu I found the bug there and submitted a report that never got a response to since July. One user replied that I had submitted my bug in the wrong area – figgers... I didn't know they had areas for different things – I was new to the whole Launchpad idea. I will re-submit it to the right area, assuming I can find it.

Being an advocate of Linux Mint, which is a derivative based on Ubuntu, which is a derivative of Debian; I noticed a nasty bug back in July of 2011. Ubuntu 11.04 was released in April of that year and I waited for the bugs to be shaken out of the rug and finally installed it.

The latest craze in hiring an IT person is by a prospective employer looking at an applicants Facebook or LinkedIn page. Lovely idea to get the feel of how a person is socially but for the most part is a failure when you're in search of a specialist for your network. The same is true for an Audio Technician, or any other "geek" type job.
