The road to redemption.
The Wii Fit is a great way to unwind. That is all. And yes, I ran out of microblogging credit for the day.
True stories, No. 37.
Thank you to the kind folks at Neowin, particularly Matthew Hopson, for the opportunity to do a lengthy Q & A with their community about Fedora. I was able to work in a couple not-so-sneaky plugs for the Fedora 11 Alpha that’s due next Tuesday, February 3. (That just happens …
