More About Me...

Hi, my name is Harlem and this is the companion website for the Fresh Ubuntu Podcast. I am the host of the show and along with my co-host Peter, we do a somewhat weekly account about anything that has to do with Ubuntu. Thanks for dropping by the site. Feel free to have a look around and click on some of the great links on the site. Enjoy!

Another Tid-Bit...

One last thing - I started the podcast in July of 2006, and we have been going strong since then. Initially, it started as my first forays into linux, but now has grown up a bit by delivering the best news, how-to's, and tutorials - all with a bent towards the Ubuntu distro. Subscribe for free using iTunes or other podcast receiver. Thanks again for dropping by!

Episode 77 Ogg File

So, this is the second to the last episode before the big hiatus and we were feeling it as you might have been able to tell.  Talking before the podcast we both agreed that we were getting a bit lazy!  so I will try to keep this short staying tru to the motif of the podcast.  Oh, BTW, I have recently read an article about links in seperate windows and it is considered bad form to turn this feature on and the decision to open an article, whether in the same window or in a seperate one, should be made by the viewer.  To open an article in a seperate window just right click the link and in the menu choose open link in a new window or in a new tab.  Here are the links below:

WINE Maintainer

Episode 75 Ogg Vorbis File

Hey, another great episode is out and ready for consumption.  First of all, I want to say thank you to Scott Ritchie who blessed us with his presence on thursday for a rockin interview with the WINE package maintainer for Ubuntu.  And, just like Peter said, he answered questions even before we asked them so Scott made things easy for us.  But, on an even better note, we now know the major advantage over a 1.0 stable release wersus the regular run of the mill point releases:)  Have a good time with this episode and leave a comment for either me, Peter or Scott, see ya!

LoCo Talk

Episode 74 Ogg Vorbis File

Well it is shaping up to be a fine summer since I haven’t seen a mid 50’s day for a week now.  And, in Oregon that means summer is finally here.  There really hasn’t been much going on with both Peter or myself.  Peter has been on a media fast and I have been busy adjusting to my kids’ summer schedule so there isn’t a lot of news but we sure made up for it in banter and small talk.  We did happen to catch up with Christer Edwards who talked with us about LoCo teams and their significance to the world of Ubuntu.  He also went into detail about his tutorial site ubuntu-tutorials.com where you can find a number of great tutorials on any version of ubuntu dating back to Warty, I think.  He was a great guest and very informative and we thank him very much for being on the show.  He also happens to be on IRC chats rooms on occasion and goes by the handle Zelut, which BTW is also his twitter name and can be found at twitter.com/zelut.  And last but not least is the MPM in which Peter describes the SORT command.  Not much else to say except enjoy the show and the interview, Ciao!

Bugmaster

Episode 73 Ogg Vorbis File

Peter and I had a great interview with the one and only Bugmaster, who BTW just happens to live in the great state of Oregon! He gave us some keen insight on what a bug is, and how users, even new ones, can submit a bug through the porper channels. Also, our regular contributor, Emmett Stewart, gave us a fantastic tutorial on the CUT command in our Man Page Minute segment. Below are the links mentioined on the show in chronological order almost:) NJOY!
