Wonderful Day in the Country at Robert Pogson

I live between city and country, the suburbs, more or less. Today I went for a 1 mile hike to get the mail and saw a jack rabbit on the road ahead. He was nervous and never let me get closer than 150 yards. Later I went to the bush for some target-shooting. The snow was deep and we had to walk in, leaving the car on the road. On the way back we stopped to shovel snow out of a driveway. I saw ravens playing in the sky above. There were a pair probably thinking about mating.

In the evening back at home, we had good food, good conversation and reminiscences. We watched a video I had stitched together with OneShot. It was OK but the input video resolution was dramatically poor on the wide-screen TV. It was a great day to accomplish something and to review triumphs of long ago. Life is good.

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.
