…has it been that long since I last posted? Seemed like yesterday…but between March and now, I’ve been on the road at least a week every month. Add the days leading up to a trip prepping and the days after catching up, and well, here we are in November. 
Got lots of topics I’ve jotted down, and plan to be updating here more regularly. Look for posts on podcasts, travelling for work, Twitter, e-book readers and more…

I’m a big fan of open source software. What I’m an even bigger fan of is finding websites that help consolidate open source application information, like osalt.com, and more recently, OpenDisc.
With OpenDisc, they go beyond listing links of open source applications available for download. In fact, the folks at OpenDisc actually create .iso image files of several popular open source applications that you can download and burn to CD. They have a regular and an educational .iso image to choose from.
This will definitely come in handy the next time I have to re-format a computer for the parents.

Looks a bit different around here doesn’t it? It’s a step up from the default Kubrick Wordpress theme.
It’s also the answer to a question I’ve been asking myself the past month—should I go out and get a pre-made Wordpress theme or go for broke and build one from scratch? After thinking about the pros and cons, and how much spare time I was going to be having in the next little while, I settled for a hybrid solution. I went out and got a pre-made blog theme called Thesis, from diythemes.com. Something that can run “right out of the box”, that looks good by default, that offers a lot of customizable options, and yet still give me room for some PHP hacking and some CSS tweaking.
It’s one of several steps that I’m taking to get this blog to where I’d like it to be. As clean and minimalist the blog looks now, it’ll be changing again soon, hopefully to a more colorful palette. So stay tuned!
