New site, same old stuff…
Hello! Hey! Hi! Howdy! How are ya? How ya doin?
Sound familiar? I hope that it does! And, I hope that your as glad to read as I am to be writing it! This is the first post in the kick off to, not only a brand new year but, a brand new season in life. The re-birth of an old site in a new and exciting way. Linux Misfits is on it’s way. I (usr_local) hope to be adding some of the same old slacker crowd into a new and growing mix of “Linux Misfits”. I intend for this to become a multi-user environment/community of misfits.
I am going to be bringing back many of my old posts from slackstuff.com and continuing some of my old habits. If I can encourage some of the other misfits to write, then there will be others writing as well.
Well folks, I’m looking forward with great anticipation to the new year and, seeing you all in IRC and on the webs. Until later, Happy Slackin!!

- Twitter Enables HTTPS By Default At LastLately I’ve felt like I’ve been barking at cars. One painful story after another keeps popping up in the media and it has been wearing me down. Pardon me while I add to the echo chamber. It is rather nice to read this morning that Twitter has FINALLY taken the step to switch their site […]Dave Lewis
- Toews Blasts Opponents Of Internet Surveillance BillI suppose they were hoping that fifth time would be the charm. Sadly, this time the Conservative government may actually get away with it this time. They have returned with a fifth, yes fifth, iteration of their Internet surveillance bill. The government has been on a roll lately in a veritiable orgy of half witted […]Dave Lewis
- Teachers’ Union Moves To Quash WifiHmm. A teachers’ union moves to quash wifi in schools here in Ontario. They have come out strongly against the deployment of more wifi at Catholic schools across the province. Why you ask? Shoddy security? Rogue access points? Nope. Health risks. Huh? This again? From CBC: In a position paper released on Monday, the union […]Dave Lewis
