NEEDED – Cross platform Qt software developer
Wed, 07/14/2010 - 12:52 | by nixternalBluecherry, a company that specializes in Linux (Ubuntu-based) surveillance equipment and applications, is currently looking for a full-time cross-platform Qt software developer. If you are a Qt developer who lives in the United States and is looking for a job, let me tell you, this could very well be it! It is a great opportunity to design and develop a new version of their interface and you get to work along side somebody like Ben Collins.
Ubuntu Chicago Bike Ride
Tue, 07/13/2010 - 13:35 | by nixternalThe Ubuntu Chicago LoCo Team is hosting its first ever group ride this Sunday, July 18. The ride will kick off from the Geneva, IL Metra Train Station at 12PM. If you are in Chicago and would like to come out, hop on the 10:47AM train on the Union Pacific/West line out of the Ogilvie Transportation Center. The train will arrive in Geneva at around 11:50AM. Once everyone is there we will take off and cruise either south or north on the Fox River Trail for a few hours.
Oh where oh where could our CDs be
Fri, 07/09/2010 - 16:32 | by nixternalLucid, 10.04, was released nearly 3 months ago and still to this date the Ubuntu Chicago LoCo Team has not received our shipment. Not only has our shipment not been received but nobody seems to be answering my emails. Getting a bit tired of telling everyone, nope you can’t have any CDs because I don’t have any CDs, and not being able to have a decent gathering to promote Ubuntu because we have zero materials. Maybe this blog post will make its way to someone’s desk that can help or who possibly cares.
Don’t call it a comeback!

Grr, everything is breaking
Mon, 06/14/2010 - 16:48 | by nixternalIt all started a bit over a month ago when I lost 2 machines to a natural disaster, one being my build machine which was powerful and the other being my laptop, which I used the most. Then yesterday when finishing my bike ride, busted spokes sent me into a nice slide with a broken wheel. The other day I noticed a clicking in my server, hard drive is what it sounded like. So I was able to power up, make a final backup, and noticed it wasn’t clicking. So I ran it for a day and just now, it died.
Impressions of the latest MeeGo release
Thu, 05/27/2010 - 18:16 | by nixternalSo, I have been spending some time playing around with various netbook operating systems lately, trying to find that perfect one. A little bit of a background first. Last month I finally switched from a Blackberry phone to an Android phone, so for the past month I have spent quite a bit of time playing with the Android SDK, writing applications, checking out all of the available applications, in other words playing with my phone. After having done this now for the past month, one thing was clear, my phone integrates with my life damn near perfectly, whereas my netbook isn’t even close.
Need something TODO
Sun, 05/16/2010 - 00:20 | by nixternalI have setup my own Tracks instance on my web server, installed Shuffle on my Android phone. I have created all of my contexts, setup my common tags, setup next-actions/waiting for/someday lists, but I have nothing TODO. On my desktop, I fired up Task by Taskwarrior to take a look and nothing!
