Live with the Dishnuts
In a strange turn of events, I have been invited to be on a live satellite/Internet feed with a group called the Dishnuts. It's a generally techie/geeky experience with a couple of great ham radio operators who also happen to be blind. KB7QLT and KB7NLA will be the hosts and I will act as the humble guest for one evening of madcap mayhem. And if everything goes well, they might even invite me back sometime. So if you have a C-band/Ku-band satellite dish or an Internet connection and happen to be doing nothing else at 1:00am CDT (0600Z)Â on Thursday morning, 8/27/2009, jump onto the feed and have a listen. There's also an IRC chat room where you can interact with the hosts and guests. What could be more fun? Check out the Dishnuts web site for all the details.

LHS Episode #021: OSCON 2009 Update 2
LHS Episode #021: OSCON 2009 Update 2
Here is the second and final installment of the special OSCON update for Linux in the HAM Shack. In this episode I examine the second half of my trip to San Jose, California, and the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. I talk about sessions I attended dealing with subjects as diverse as patents and legal issues, processor speed, cloud computing, users as Open Source advocates and, yes, evening programming in Klingon. I also take a trip through The Tech Museum of Innovation, an institution run entirely using Open Source. So sit back and enjoy this special report from OSCON and as always, thanks for being a loyal listener to the program.
Don't forget to leave us voice feedback or questions. We'd love to put you on the air. And we know how ham radio operators often have the gift for gab. So let it out. Don't be shy. Linux in the HAM shack wants YOU.
