Corn Party! at Robert Pogson

No, this is not about some new splinter group. My corn patch is now in production. Today the first ripe cobs of “peaches and cream” sweet corn were harvested. Party is at my place this weekend, dodging a “coming out”/debut party. There will be boiled corn on the cob for all my family who can make it. Don’t know the time yet, probably Sunday because the other affair is today and other tasks occur Saturday.

It has been a long season. This corn should have been ripe two weeks ago but there was cold wet weather early on and drought later… So, we count our blessings. We have more than enough corn and learned enough to have the best crop of my life. The little woman does appreciate corn so I am not too ancient/useless just yet.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
