Site will be moving to Blogger.com

Dear Readers,

After much deliberation, I've decided to move this site to Blogger.com. You will no longer need to store this as an App on your Android device. Blogger will be able to adjust to whatever device you're using. This transition will be occurring within the next 2 weeks.

Thank you!

Updating Site

Hi Readers,

I apologize for being so lax with this site. Lots of things were going on in my life and had zero time for this site. I am currently upgrading it to make it more responsive to mobile users. Content-wise, there are a lot of articles I've posted to help you with the basics of Linux. It's just using newer stuff that I haven't had time to post on. My Mom is still happily using the Chromebook I got for her since her iPad is now running slower. Since purchasing my new HP Cloud printer, I also have been able to print documents successfully using the following devices: Toshiba Linux Mint 14 PC, Samsung Chromebook, and my Moto X Smartphone.

Bear with me and ignore some of the coding tech jargon like [mc4wp_form] that are appearing currently on the site. I need to do some additional configuration and installation. The jargon isn't affecting the content on this site.

Will keep you posted...

Upcoming Articles

Dear Readers,

No.  I didn't desert you.  I just got busy with my day job for a few months.  So now that I have some spare time, I will tell you what I'm covering next.  I will be expanding on the topic of Linux Created Documents from my last post in August.  I covered how you could edit or create Linux Documents on Android using some apps that I found on GooglePlay.  This time around I will be demonstrating how you can use LibreOffice Calc and LibreOffice Writer on Android using rollApp, a cloud based application.  Today,  I was lucky enough to catch a sale expiring today for a Samsung Chromebook for $199 when it normally retails for $299.  I bought it for my Mom and, of course, for myself so I could experiment with all the cool things I know I can do with it.  Along with that chromebook, I purchased a HP 4630 OfficeJet Printer, which allows WI-FI printing from any device (tablet, smartphone, PC).  UPDATE: I got the new printer to work with Ubuntu 13.10. WooHoo! People, stick with me and you'll find out all these useful things you can do with Linux!

More Linux Helpful Hints to Come

Dear Readers,

I apologize for not having new posts in 2 months. My summer on a personal level has been a busy one so I was unable to write more posts on Linux. There are other areas I want to cover in more detail such as: backup and recovery processes within Linux, accessing Linux desktop data using mobile devices and reviewing the newest versions of desktop Linux distributions. If there are areas, you would like me to cover, feel free to comment on this site or on my Youtube channel. I've been successfully using desktop Linux since 2011 and I'm not about to give up on it easily like a few bureaucrats in Munich. After have so much more free time not having to frequently administer and wait on MS Windows desktop processes to complete, I feel liberated. Defragging?? No problemo. Boot time? Check. I also no longer worry about whether web-surfing or opening email attachments will wreak havoc on my desktop if it contracts a virus. Again, it's my choice. So, keep checking back on this site for any new posts. If you have the app on your Android device, you'll be notified. Take care and enjoy the rest of the summer!
