Yesterday I was scarce because after a weekend at Ohio Linux Fest it was time for a brief respite with my family. We went out to Belvedere Plantation for a day of fun in the sun during their Fall Harvest festival. (Quite a bit of sun, as a matter of …
I forgot to mention in my last post that the after-party entertainment at Ohio Linux Fest was provided by none other than Dual Core. Clint tells me that these guys freestyled a Fedora rap at their table yesterday afternoon that at least two different people caught on tape. If any …
