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!!
