I’ll be giving a short talk and demonstration on Ubuntu Hacks today (Wednesday, April 5 at 12:30) at the O’Reilly LinuxWorld booth. Drop by and learn about getting Ubuntu running under colinux, going online with a Bluetooth connection and a cell phone, and a few more things.

Cool–my namesake is the star of a short story that Rory
