[Ubuntu Oregon] Won't make it today
Hey all, Che and I won't be making it to the meeting in Salem today. The weather has me very nervous about driving. We'll be along next month! Linda -- Ubuntu-us-or mailing list Ubuntu-us-or@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-or

Thanks but we should probably hunker down and keep working :) I'm sure there will be other opportunities to get out and about after April.

Sorry guys, the tax bill came due and Che and I will have to bow out. There won't be any money to rent a car this month.

[Ubuntu Oregon] Hello there!
My name is Linda, though I usually respond to S0rceress0 online. I live in Corvallis, Oregon with my husband Che (Kereltis). I am first generation American being born in So California. I have done many many types of work from menial jobs to professional. My most notable positions were as a Soux Chef for The Velvet Turtle, a firefighter for the California Conservation Corps and a Gunners Mate in the U.S. Navy.I much prefer my life now as a writer and researcher. I got into Linux partially as a desperation measure. I was familiar with the concept of Linux, and worked on Unix machines as a teenager, but I still had windows machines until my Dell XPS started displaying symptoms of motherboard failure from overheating. Installing Ubuntu 10.10 saved it from certain doom. At that time I was unable to watch only a few shows here and there online. I found that technology moved rapidly from then on and before long I was able to use Netflix. I continued to use Windows 7 on my desktop computer, though I found I used it only for gaming and for watching an occasional movie that Netflix did not have. Using Linux, whichever distro I happened to appreciate at the moment, became so fluid and easy I swore than when I could watch shows and game one major MMO, I would switch to Linux permanently. When Netflix became native, and World of Warcraft installed easily on Ubuntu 14.04, I decided that the conditions had been fulfilled. I will never use Windows again. In several of my college courses I also convinced several other people to give Linux a serious shot through a series of tough college essays on UEFI and open source benefits. I would still classify myself as a joat. I know a little of several programming languages, and enough knowledge in Linux to feel competent with a generous amount of terminal commands. I cannot call myself an expert in any single area, but I do continue to learn. My newest interest is the Ubuntu Phone. I am fascinated by the thought of creating for it. I am a pretty big geek gurl, I love games and Star Trek is almost a biblical archway for me. (Hate those continuity errors though!) I write like there is no tomorrow, and though I am religious, my religion is tempered by the knowledge that anything in that religion could be answered at any time by science, and I am more than willing to give way to it. I cook gourmet food, I brew beer, and I really REALLY love good whiskey. I am looking forward to a time when every single person on the planet has access to education when ever they so please, and I think Linux will help us get there. -- Ubuntu-us-or mailing list Ubuntu-us-or@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-or
