Back to hands-on application development

I’m just informing you, my readers, that I’ve been busted back to application development work from a relatively administrative one. Rest assured, this is entirely my decision as I’m not currently under employment of any entity beside myself.

Now where’s my cup of coffee?

mypapit gnu/linux blog is now 3 years old!

It has been 3 years since I first started this blog, a cause that worthy of celebration. It was a long way to go when I first stated this blog in mid-April 2005, i never thought it would last this long, since I’m not much of a writer. Looking back, I still wish I had written a lot more useful articles on this website for my readers’ benefit.

For my readers, it is my hope that you will continue reading my humble posts for years to come. Thank you for your support
