The Great Email Exodus!
Jun 1st
A co-worker happened to see my Gmail inbox one day and the amount of unread emails caught his eye. It was roughly 11,000+. He then bet me $5 that I wouldn’t delete anything before the year 2008. After a couple of test searches, to see if there was really anything of value in those emails, I decided to remove the old emails. I didn’t get the $5 though, because it wasn’t spontaneous anymore. Don’t worry, I didn’t delete any emails either. 
From that experience, though, I’ve been a little more conscious of just how big my digital property collection is. I don’t think I horde a lot of physical items, but I am certainly a horder when it comes to digital property.
Google Chrome vs Chromium
Jan 2nd
The other day I had a problem with the Chromium repo a fellow Fedora user maintains. I couldn’t get Flash to work after his latest update. Someone on the forum told me that Google has a beta release of Chrome. So; I removed the “chromium” repo I had previously installed and after installing the new one, I got confused. I thought to myself, “What is the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium?” I thought Chromium would be exclusive to Linux.
Well; I Googl’d it and found this wiki. I thought I’d attempt to give it some traction since others must have the same question.

How Wise is the Group?
Jul 17th
Last night I went to my third LUG meeting at Emory University School of Law facility. For those that don’t follow my social foot prints, I’m a part of a very well established Linux User Group called Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts. These guys have been in the game for a long time and vividly remember the days when x server wasn’t even a twinkle in their distro’s eye. Well last night one of the members, James Taylor, presented the Microsoft Exchange contender, Novell GroupWise.
Whatcha’ Say!?
