You Succeed as a Team

I was reading a great article on the YouTubes Architecture and came across this last bullet point that they make. Just had to share it.

You succeed as a team. Have a good cross discipline team that understands the whole system and what’s underneath the system. People who can set up printers, machines, install networks, and so on. With a good team all things are possible.

The true potential of Linux

This video just goes to show you how bad ass Linux is. Just take a look at how smart the mascot is.

Possible Boulder Ubucon

So after last years Boulder Ubucon was a success thanks to Neal. I have taken it upon myself to work at getting us another possible one this year. We are shooting for a September date sometime on the weekend if we can. Once I can confirm a date I will let you all know. Just wanted to give all the world a heads up that we are working towards this possibly happening again. So that you may have a little more time in advance to join us.

HP dr6812nr WiFi Woos

So after spending several days trying to get my Wifi to work with my new laptop I finally got it work and figured I would try and make sure to blog about it just in case anyone else has the same problems.

To note this problem resides in support for new Atheros Wireless Chipsets. In my case the AR5007 chipset. That as well as the fact that my new laptop has a AMD 64 bit CPU. So now on to the links to help solve the issue.
