I'm a techaholic. Yes, this is a tech blog. If you couldn't figure this out by now, then now you know. I specialize in coding and working with Linux. I actually have an account on Ask Ubuntu, if you want my help for the Ubuntu Linux fork. There's also a really good community there. They can answer what I can't.
