News in Review: Acer and Linux – The Start of Something Big?

From  now on, I’ll be (hopefully) doing more blog posts on both technology and the web that are more engaging and interesting than the usual “tgorg updates” I’ve been doing every once in awhile.  Hope you like it!

Acer just recently announced that they will be putting Linux in more of it’s boxes (the complete article here: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2218172/acer-pushes-linux-hard).  The report mentions that Acer will be using it’s own distro, which got me thinking “what if all PC manufactures did this and created their own distro for their PCs?”.

tgorg update

Hello everyone.  Now that I’ll be out of college in a week, I’ll be able to spend a little more time on here.  There’s a couple of side projects that I want to work on, as well as a few things that I haven’t posted yet…  I’ll get into what those side projects are later, since they’re not done yet, and I’ve been prone to let the cat out of the bag before anything reasonable comes up.

In other news, some friends of mine are working on a student film entitled “Carriefield”.  Turns out that Glenn Zervas, a person my family is friends with is also doing some composing work on some of the music.  You can check out Carriefield at the facebook group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12358596731

Back Home

Hello. I’m back home for the summer, which means that, contrary to popular belief, I have less free time than I had at college.

I still have some things I have to finish for my website, namely “an important lesson” #2. I also want to add a loader to the first “an important lesson”…

I’m also going to try to post more in regards to my job (if I get approval from my boss). I work at a book binding and supply company in New Jersey, primarily working with their corporate website, so it would be cool if I could post updates and stuff (a la Angled Whiteboards). So well see what happens…
