22 years ago today on October 20, 2004, Canonical announced Ubuntu 4.10, Warty Warthog, as the first official Ubuntu release on the Ubuntu announce list. In my September 5, 2007 Installing Ubuntu video, that single Ubuntu CD gave a wiped PC a working desktop in ten minutes. #Ubuntu #Linux #OpenSource #DesktopLinux

I think I s tried Linux back when like the end of Windows 7, the beginning of Windows Vista. Linux has come a long way. I didn't use the Linux distro because there were so many driver issues from audio to network equipment not working right on the desktop. I just went back to Windows.

Warty Warthog still makes me smile as a name for a first release. One CD and ten minutes to a working desktop was a big deal back then. Fun bit of history to remember today.

If you still like using Google, but you want to avoid AI overviews altogether, there's a trick. Once you go to a search result page, add ampersand udm equals one four. For the time being, that only surfaces text links. Now there's Google Classic.

My 3D printing "hack" is... to use LEGO brick separators to remove filament from your plates. Works like a charm (and better than damn near anything else I've tried - without damage to anything).

Fix your own problems first. That's the whole product framework.

I wanted to send texts in my own handwriting. No app did this well, so I built one last week. Apple approved it for the App Store - the FIRST time, no rejections!

Make your own handwriting font free at http://fontcrafter.net/ then use it with PenSend:

#iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pensend-your-handwriting-font/id6761138244

#Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fontcrafter.pensend

Try it, please?
