Fsck It
One nice thing about using Ubuntu is that even when things go a little haywire, it’s usually possible to back up all the important files and then just reinstall. Reinstallation is so fast — at least, compared to the plodding installation process on Windows — that it almost always is like visiting the dentist: great […]
Forced Upgrade In Progress
I may not be blogging as much as usual for the next few days… I’m working on an upgrade of Ubuntu on my computer, and I hadn’t planned for it, or set aside time for it.
See, I was trying to install the Linux version of HWP (the Korean wordprocessor that gets the widest use in […]

Ten Spikes, A Grasshopper, and Nemonymous Thing

The Clarion West Write-a-Thon is On!
The Clarion West Writer's Workshop has been responsible for starting many people on the road to publication and careers in writing. It has been an unstinting supporter of creativity and of the next generation of writers for decades.
But it doesn't run itself. It takes time, energy, and even with volunteers, it takes money. The write-a-thon is one way to raise the funds that keep the workshop going.
