Yesterday was a big road travel day. Contrary to my usual performance, I got a slightly later start than I intended in leaving home. But nevertheless Jared and I made it to Raleigh in plenty of time for Max and me to pick up the now-infamous SpeVan and return to …
Tomorrow morning, starting early, I’m driving myself and Jared down to Raleigh, North Carolina. When we arrive we’ll pick up Max, turn right around and head for the RDU airport to pick up the big passenger van we’ve rented for a group trip to Spartanburg, SC for the Southeast Linux …

Once again this year I’ll be traveling down to the Southeast Linux Fest for a weekend full of informative talks, social fun, and exceptional collaboration opportunities with fellow Linux geeks from around the region and the nation. SELF has been an enormous hit since its inaugural outing in 2009. I’ll …
